Mejo late na reaction. Baliktad tayo, Ako natuwa na maliit ako compared sa mga puti, kasi sa pinas/asia considered akong mataba. Hehe!

Also, think of the foodprice as a percentage of salary sa Oz. $10 lunch is less than the $15/hr basic salary so relatively mura pa rin xa compared sa P100 jollibee meal na almost 25% na ng daily minimum wage. And if tipid mo ka na when working here, pwede naman magbaon.

hello, i plan to travel Australia and spend Christmas 2013. i plan to buy ticket prior on getting visa because i will just buy promo tickets since i am on a tight budget. when should i apply tourist visa if i plan to travel on dec 20?

Yukishih

Next year christmas? Mga september puede ka na apply.

Yukishih

@Meischelle fire away. I might be able to help you!

ckythy08

salamat yukishi. do you think it is safe to book then get visa after? i have a job and travels yearly. from manila i plan to go to peth, then melbourne to sydney and back to manila. i wanted to visit uluru but its too expensive unless you can give me an idea how to have a cheap travel to uluru.

Yukishih

@ckythy08 sis, i haven't been to uluru. Honestly, mag 3 mos pa lang ako dito. May mag invite syo? Risky yung gagawin mo kasi walang assurance na magrant ang visa. Pero if you have the moolah and sufficient evidence for the CO na bigyan ka ng visa GO!

ckythy08

my bestfriend is in sydney, she and her bf is planning to settle down next year but don't no definite plans yet. if natuloy daw ang wedding of course they will send invitation but i am not relying into that. ang issue ko naman kasi if hinintay ko yun visa approval, skyrocketting na ang price ng pamasahe.

Yukishih

You have a point. Mahal na talaga kapag malapit flight mo ikaw magbook. It's not a gurantee kasi ang airline ticket na mabigyan ka ng visa. You have to gamble. Objective naman ang mga CO magbigay ng visa. Yung decision is based on your documents na ibibigay mo sa kanila. Yung kapatid ko madali lang nabigyan ng visa. If may enough funds ka and kaya majustify ng income sa work mo maaprove ka nyan. Kumpletuhin mo lang ang requirements.

Is it possible for a Filipino to get 12 months tourist visa? My friend is applying for a tourist visa. She's currently employed but plans to end her contract pag ma-grant ang visa. Gusto lang niya mag vacation ng 12 months kasama ko, I'm working in Australia kasi. I will provide for her accommodation, food, etc. No problem naman ang pera sa kanya. Pero wondering lang if possible ba ang 12 months kahaba na tourist visa?

zyahoo

Thanks Jaero sa response. so bale pag di papayag ang DIAC, diretsong visa refusal agad or pwede kayang mag grant sila ng less na duration. Example, nag apply siya ng 12 months tas igrant lang siya ng 6 months? Or denied na agad?

Keyar

@zyahoo

If friend, best to indicate na 3 months. Mas malaki un chance to get visa approval. And depende din sa mga evidences, that 3 months can be 6 or 12 with multiple entry if sufficient un funds na pinakita.

zyahoo

Thanks sa suggestion, Keyar. So now she's contemplating on getting a 3-month tourist visa initially. After nun, plan niya uwi and then apply ulit for another 3 or 6 month visa. Diba usually may 'no further stay' condition ang tourist? Kung umuwi siya and get another tourist visa, when is the soonest time na pwede siyang mag apply kaya?

Hi, ask ko lang to those who have had invited their parents for a visit, ano kaya ang magandang kunin na travel insurance pra sa kanila?..they were just granted a 1 year visa, and will be here early next month. Any inputs, and how much would it cost if their intended stay is almost a year?..salamat!

Keyar

@zyahoo

Hello!
Minsan wala. Like a friend of mine, multiple entry un visa nya, she was granted a visa good for 1 year. I think depende lang sa mga evidences. And it's better na may work sya kasi it's a big factor na di sila magoverstay or something.
Unsure ako if may 'no further stay' conditon un visa granted kung kelan sila pwde ulit magapply for another visa. It's either 3months or 6months after.
Tell her na lang na provide strong evidences, like bank details, assets, work. Para there's a possibility she'll get more than 3months visa.

Yukishih

Hi, question lang yung sister ko walang no further stay condition sa tourist visa nya. Gusto sana namin extend. Ang nakalagay single entry other than that wala na. Pano mag extend from here sa au?

Hello mga pips!

Have a query:
If I wanted to bring my mom for a short visit to Aussie, is there anything I need to prepare in terms of documentation to help with her application? Tourist visa lang naman po, wala naman siya plan to migrate over here. I'm currently working on a 457, hindi pa po ako PR.

Actually 2 queries pala:
May idea po kayo what the ballpark figure is in terms of proof of funds? For a 2-3 week stay lang naman, 100-200k, ma-approve na kaya siya?

Pasensya na, I'm not sure if this has been discussed extensively somewhere else. If you can direct me, much appreciated po! For those who have inputs, maraming salamat po in advance!

In the tourist visa application of your mum, there should be a part there that will ask whether she know anyone in Australia. Just input your name there and consider including your passport detail page and copy of your visa and maybe a COE as part of the docs to be submitted by your mother.

100k-200k should be fine I reckon...

Hi guys, Question: Can you apply/look for a job while on TV?

Nadine

Hi guys, Question: Can you apply/look for a job while on TV?

Hello po!

I suppose you can try. But I doubt they will hire you po eh on that visa. I'm not sure if may nakagawa na nito. Those on student visa, pwede. TV po, generally not. Not legally anyway. :>

TV is restricted to R and R activities. May visa conditions po kasi. Nakasaad po yun sa visa grant ang visa entitlements/ restrictions/ conditions natin.

@Phtraveller - he/she should provide invitation letter with details
- date of travel
- who will cover cost of travel (accomodation/food)
- kung sya, he/she needs to show proof (bank account, salary etc)..

provide as much documents as you can,, but still the decision is of course with the CO...
goodluck.

batman

once granted of TV when you should use it? When does the 3 months period starts rolling,(if it is for 3 months period) ....upon arrival in AU?

hotshot

@batman : count starts from date of visa approval. ilalagay naman sa visa kung hanggang kelan valid.
