Hi guys! I submitted my Tourist Visa application last January 29 through their online website. However, it's been 3 weeks to be exact and my application still says "In Progress". Does anyone here experience the same thing?
Though i know processing still depends on one's profile so am a bit nervous since i haven't tried applying for any type of visa before just had few short trips in Hongkong and Macau.
I would like to know if i need to submit certified true copies/ notarized docs even if i submitted Scanned color docs since I've read some post on Australian Forum that it's okay not to have it certified as long as the original docs are colored scanned. Does anyone here have positive results without submitting notarized docs?
Thanks in advanced! ☺

and about certified true copies, sa experience namin, di na namin pinacertify, scan lang and colored..

They had to check it because it is made of wood. You need to declare it because it is made of wood. Good thing it was varnished so less issue daw and they taught it was funny.
Also I brought bag from palawan ung native handcraft din.. tinaktak nila kc baka meron mites or insects. Nakalusot naman.
In the end, if made from wood.. varnished or not, declare it na lang

Another question po, Do you usually get travel insurance for a 3 months vacation? If yes, ano po marerecommend nyo maganda yet affordable insurance during a 3 month stay sa aus?
May nakita kasi ko sa WorldNoMads kaya lang namamahalan ko. Meron pa ba mas mura dito? Un standard nila 424 USD and un Explorer 468 USD.
