hi! please help. nacoconfused na ko kung ano dapata visa ang iaapply para sa bridging program sa Aus. Ang dami ko na napagtanungan na agencies, usually yung may mga bayad na agencies ang iaapply nila is business visa, pero sa mga agencies na walang bayad like AMS, student visa ang iapply nila for me. so which is better? yung hndi mahirap mag-apply at hndi masyadong maraming reqs since nagkaroon na ako noong 2008 ng tourist visa refusal. pero my mom was the main applicant back then. hindi nya na rin marecall bakit kami narefused. actually hindi ko nga alam noon na nag-apply siya. dependent nya lang ako sa visa na yun kasi fresh grad lang ako noon. thanks

    Hi @epixrn ! Nagbridging din ako last 2015 and ako lang ang nagprocess by myself. Business visitor visa subclass 600 ang kinuha kong visa. Depende sa school kasi kung pwede kang kumuha ng student visa. Ang difference lang naman kasi nun is kung magstudent visa ka kung may balak kang magwork while you are doing your bridging course, which is mahirap naman kasi intensive ang bridging program talaga. Wala kasing working rights pag business visitor visa and max stay is 3 months. And usually ginagrant ang student visa kapag 6 months and up kang mag-aaral. Since ang bridging is, kung parehas tayo ng school, 11 weeks, di sya applicable for student visa. Hope this helps :)
