SA mga nag mecial exam na tourist VISA staying for more than 3 months.
we are using IMMI Account (online) application.

Ano po ang process that requies medical that apply using immi account?

Medyo naguguluhan lang ako at napagsasama ko yung old process(paper base) and yung online application. OLD process, you need to wait FOR CO instruction since CO mag bibigay ng details para maka pag medicla.

wiTH IMmi account, nakikita ko pa kaagad yung link to print youR Own Referral letter which includes the HAP ID na kailangan par maka pag medical.

SA Referral letter nakaindicate na rin kaagad na REQUIREd chect X-ray.
- so kung ang basis ko is yung nababasa ko sa immi requirements, PRint out lang Referral letter pra maka pag medical at passport

Importante din kasi malamamn kung ano yung medical check up na required since most medical centre only accept CASH payment. So kailangan alam mo magkano babayaran or dadalin mo cash pambayad.

According to Nationwide

If medical exam - around 5k pesos
if X-ray lang nasa 1,500 pesos lang

sabi ng nakauspa ko sa NAtionwiode sa phone, hindi daw updated yung website ng nationwide... nakalagya kasi dun 1200 xray... sa phone sabi sakin 1500. Cash lang acept nila payment.

sa website required 5pcs passport ID / sa phone - hindi daw kailangan
- so medyo magulo


If someone already done their medical for their parents tourist visa applciation or for those who apply for more than 3 mnths stay-- please share your experience....

@atchino Hi, let me share my experience and my father's experience with getting tourist visa -- so in my dad's case, the first time he applied for TV for single entry 3 months does not required him any medicals. We lodged thru paper base (VFS). For his 2nd lodging, same year 2015 we opted to use the convenience (and cheaper in thousand pesos) of immi account. We created him an immi account and attached the basic but important documents that proof of his ties in the Philippines (remember, TV lang ito so you should prove na babalik ka sa Pinas) so basically I attached ITR, Business registration, Car registration, bank cert and Title Deeds. Ngayon, since he applied for a multiple TV, automatic na need nyang mag medical, yung button for health something brought us to a referral letter with HapID and naka indicate don na Visa subclass 600 at ang procedure na need which was X-Ray. 1K lang yon nagastos nya sa st. lukes global city. Dala ka ng 2-3 passport sized picture at ang referral letter, wala ng iba kelangan.

Now, since my idea na ako kung pano ang medicals, now that we are lodging our student visa as family..para makatipid ng time kasi isipin mo (2-3 weeks bago ma process ang medicals including CO request, etc etc) nag generate na kami ng HapID namin. Automatic naman na naka indicate ano yong subclass mo don at ano ang procedures na gagawin. Sa case namin, non-medical course ang kukunin ni wife, so X-Ray with medicals (wellness check up and urinalysis) sa toddler namin, pinalakad naman sya at pinagsalita. So now, we already have completed and cleared medicals na pwedeng i-attach sa aming visa lodging kaya advantage din nito, alam mo na beforehand na wala ng problema sa medicals na pwede maka-delay sa application. For example, may nakitang something sa lungs, kelangan pa daw mag pa sputum and further test..so look at the hassle of it.

Now, I also applied for a tourist visa last June 29...super spontaneous lang non kasi bigla akong nagka tournament sa Sydney. So I created an immi account, and attached all the important documents as well. Wala akong health request. So I think, pag 3 months lang and single entry, di naman need ng health examination.

@superluckyclover salamat.

This is what I was looking for that we can now proceed for medical without CO advice since we apply using immi account.

Sanay kasi ako sa paper base na nag hinintay ng instruction ng CO.

Yes, more than 3 months lang ang ni rerequire ng medical exam.

Mura yung 1k, kasi last 2011, xray ng parent ko nasa 1,500 na.

superluckyclover

@atchino I see. Wait, I guess it's cheap talaga? 4++ kasi binayaran namin e may xray yon, urinalysis, wellness..so I think 1,500 is a reasonable price? However, if I am wrong please correct me na lang by posting it here. All the best for the medicals!

Buti at xray lang ang nakindicate na check.

Kung student or more than 12months stay nakalagay sa medicla na required full medical which will cost about 4-5k+

Im asking my parents na asikasuhin na nila yung xray nila ... baka kasi inintay ng immi for their decision.

Meron po ba dito na tourist visa na bumili lang ng one way ticket?

Kasi wala pang promo ng return ng sydney to manila na mura at hindi pa sure kung anong date ang exact na balik since wala a rin VISA grant at kung anong duration ang ma grant na visa.

One time from manila to sydney (cebupacific), may naksabay kami na tourist visa na parents for 1 year (one way lang adw ticket na binili ng anak nila sa kanila). Mukhang pinapayagan naman ng immigratoin.

May instance ba dito na hindi pinayagan ng immigration sa pinas kung one way ticket lang?

superluckyclover

@atchino hi! Mukang okay naman, di naman ata tinatanong yon sa immigration kung may return e. May declaration lang ata ng estimated time of departure from aussie.

Bka kasi isipin pag walang return - mag TnT at hindi na bumali kang Pinas.

Sa ibang country ganun, required return ticket for tousit visa.

Pero kung mrami dito naka try na.. so chances are... pinapayaan na nila at hindi mahiglpit.

Dati kasi pag return bibilin mo airfare mas mura. NGayon kahit one wy lang or return, pareho lang presyo.

required po ba na ikuha ng health insurance ang parents? prior or after visa approval po ba ito? and what po murang provider? tia!

@wizz

Ilang month max stay na multiple entry?

If more than 3m onths stay, they require medical exam.
- Kailan ka nag medical? inintay mo ba CO advice for medicla or basta nag print ka lang ng Referral letter from the Immi account and xray lang ba medical ?


I apply for my parents toursit visa (up to 12 months stay)
Aware ako sapaper base and sa paper base iintayin mo pa COI advice for the medical exam.

Using the Immi account, napansin ko na may link kaagad sa HElath referral letter for exam...

So hindi ko na inintay ang CO, i informed my parents na mag medical exam na sila since may referral letter kaagad na pwede i-print (x-ray lang naka indicate na exam).


Ganito din ba yung ginawa mo?

I bought airplane ticket (one-way) them 2 months in advance from the time na nilodge yung tourist visa since nababasa ko dito na pinaka matgal na yung 1.5 months na processing.

One-way lang nabili ko kasi yun lang may promo. Mag iintay kao na another promo na one way pabalik naman ng pinas. Isa pa kasi wala pa result ng VISA grant so not sure kung gano katagal na duration ibibigay saparents ko kaya hindi rin ako bumili ng return plane ticket.

@wizz congrats!
