    Hi Guys... I got my visa decision yesterday. I submitted it last October 8...sadly I was refused. I think the decision maker based my application solely on my income and didnot consider my tenureship and my travel history. Been in the company for the past 6 years. I also been to 18 countries around Asia. This includes Japan, Korea and Singapore which if I have the intention to work or stay illegally I can just go ahead and stay to these countries which I think the salary are at par or more than the salary in Australia. So those who will apply without an sponsor make sure you have big amount of money in your savings... mine is 150k...and they think its not enough for 1 week stay

    Hi @cpa_oct2011 ... kelan ka nag apply? Ako kasi I applied online eh. Then yesterday afternoon nila ine-mail yung result sa akin

    I think having a sponsor naman will have positive effect on your application.

    Hi @orioe Is this your first time to apply as tourist to australia? I'm sure u submitted proof employment to be sure na babalik ka dito and you won't overstay. Kasi minsan they want to make sure na may babalikan ka dito like work. And do u have relatives or friends in Australia that will support you during your stay? it can help din kasi.

    Hi @libragirl...yes I submitted my COE, ITR and payslips ... my salary is minimal lang kasi...18k a month... but been with the company for 6years. I also have passports full of stamps which I think enough ng evidence na bumabalik ako ng Pilipinas after my trip. Been to Japan 4x... Korea 5x and Singapore more than 10x... Im a backpacker kasi eh... So parang kung gusto ko mag work abroad illegally... dito nalang ako sa mga country na to di ba? Specially in Japan...

    Yes this is my first time to apply ... and wala akong relative or family sa Australia eh.

    @libragirl based sa pagkakaintindi ko... parang I dont have strong ties daw dito sa Philippines and minimal daw yung income ko dito kaya possible daw na mag stay ako dun illegally at mag seek ng employment. When ka nagpasa ng application?

    @orioe nagbook ka na ba ticket mo? saan ka sa australia ppunta if ever?... im not sure kasi they say 30 days max processing time nila. next time mag-apply ka attach ka ng tentative flight details mo and try to attach leave of absence too.

    sa girlfriend ko denied din xa last time, ang dahilan eh d nakapagprovide ng any info in regards with family in philippines. kailangan talaga masatisfy mo cla in terms of family ties, adequate funds, at work commitment. factor ung sponsor as ur adequate funds kaya in doubt cla. grabe nga eh higpit nla haha. pero the next day inapply ko ulit through online naman, kc vfs ung una eh kaya saglit lang magapply pagkaonline. 1 month talaga yan processing pero try mo tawag ka baka mapaexpedite mo, un nga lang depende sa sitwAsyon kung expedite nla
