Online Application - Tourist Visa Parent

Kapag po ba nagrant sila ng 18months or 3years validity kailangan nila ng health insurance like oshc? Pwede bang yung period lang ng stay nila like a month yung kunin na insurance?

moonwitchbleu · February 2015

hi guys, na submit ko na ang application ng mom ko. sobrang dami naman ng requirements. ang weird pa nung iba like custody, military service, military discharge, study, Consent for travel of a child under the age of 18. may iba bang ganito din ang required? Ay recommended lang pala nakalagay.

- i wonder if need pa ba ako mag provide ng family composition, temporary stay, asset?

- ano po ginamit nyong proof of temporary stay? wala kasing (?) so no idea what to upload here.

- sa mga hindi na nag CTC nung docs nila may naka lagay ba sa (?) on every requirement nang application nyo na 'Certified Copy'?

hi @goreo, it's probably the significant dates. as for my friend naman who's mom was also granted 3 years tourist visa, may naka mention kasi sa akin before na pag subsequent application something eh ma-grant daw ng 3 years, baka thats the reason.

thanks for the tips guys. good to hear about this. less hassle din kasi kung 3 years maapprove.

- wala naman ako ni-provide na family composition.. yung asset meron si mother kaya ni-attach ko.

- temporary stay? ano yun? wala kami nun..

- lahat ng documents na nirerequire nila e dapat daw CTC pero kahit na ganun ang nirerequire nila e ang ni-attach pa rin namin di namin pinacertify..

@goreo thanks sa reply. Lahat ng docs sa visa application page eh recommended lang naman. so susundin ko na lang din mga in-upload nyo na docs. And sa invitation ko i included our birth certificates and marriage cert kasi iba na ang name ko sa name ng mom ko, proof ng relation namin since ako yung sasagot sa lahat ng expenses nya dito.

May mali nga lang akong na upload. I uploaded my and hubby's payslip sa proof of financial capabilities, which hindi dapat kasi it's supposed to be my mom's and not ours. sana lang hindi ito maka affect, hindi pa naman pwde i.undo.

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! ☺

goreo · February 2015

hi @juliannez23, baka kulang ka sa requirements? pero mag-rerespond naman sila thru email if may kulang..wait lang ng onti siguro..
and about certified true copies, sa experience namin, di na namin pinacertify, scan lang and colored..

juliannez23 · February 2015

@goreo Thank you sa response. ☺ I submitted all possible docs na puwede ko ibigay. I even submitted my birth certificate through NSO hotline and have it delivered to Australia Embassy kahit nakaindicate sa website na i should wait for consul request before submission of birth certicate just to make sure i have completed the requirements.

Here's what I have submitted:

1) Passport with entry/exit stamps
2) Passport pic
3) COE, ITR 2316, 2 months latest payslip, 2 months latest credit card statement
4) Letter of Approved leaves
5) My bank statements and bank certificates
6) Invitation letter from boyfriend/sponsor
7) Birth certificate and Financial docs of sponsor

Still hoping for positive results and sana hindi abutin ng 2 months.

@goreo required lang ba ang Medical kapag 1 year or more yung length of visit?

balak ko kasi i-apply ang mother ko (63yo) for tourist visa, pero initially 1 month lang muna length of stay nya

juliannez23 · February 2015

@goreo Thank you sa response the other day. Got my visa yesterday. Co-incidence pagkapost ko dito, the next day i got the email confirmation. Finally!

juliannez23 · February 2015

Hi guys! Question lang kung pwede ba magdala ng mga native handcraft bags, Lampshade and other pinoy souvenirs sa baggage? Gift and pasalubong ko sana sa kanila. Wala ba magiging problema sa customs? And ano ba un mga pwede at hindi pwede dalhin and need ba ideclare lahat ng goods na dala mo?

Thank you in advanced. ☺

Hello po. Ano kaya po ang requirements po para sa mga retired na parents? Kasi po ako may student visa na. Kailangan po ng parents ko ng tourisy visa para mabisita ako. Wala naman silang business or work. May money sila sa bank at mga land titles. Ano po isubmit kong docs for them?

Naglodge ako ng visa for my MIL on the 10th of Feb, antagal din ng processing pala, akala ko mga days lang after ng medical nya. Hopefully lumabas na this week. Matanong ko lang, kailangan ba certified din yung mga docs uploaded?

whizler · February 2015

@juliannez23 Back in 2011 I believe, nag dala ako nung barrel man. Ung galing baguio na may malaking ano.. mga 4 yun. 2 pair ng couple :P (meron pala babae na ganun).

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

moonwitchbleu · February 2015

you should watch border security para alam nyo what to expect with the IOs pag dating dito. Mas mapapadali ang pag lusot if walang dalang anything made from wood or trees, meat prods, fruits and veggies, dairy prods. I think may thread dito na namention kung ano ang bawal dalhin. At kung gusto nyo talaga mag dala make sure to declare it at baka ma fine pa kayo, $200 up pa naman ang fine sa mga ganyan.

nutmeg709 · February 2015

@juliannez23 Hi..i also lodged my tv on feb 4, and got no grant yet..i sent them an email last week and they replied that its still on process and ave. wait is 30 days..happy for you, i hope ill get mine within this week

yun sa application ni mother, hindi certified yung mga nisend namin..basta colored yun pagka-scan..

Basta made from Wood, need to declare... then the Customs will inspect it..

Kapag well-treated yung wood and does not harbor insects, etc... tatanggapin naman... otherwise, they will seize and destroy it..

Hi po, ask ko lang if anyone applied tv - 600 family-sponsored stream here? i applied for my mom and my younger brother last 17 of Feb pero until now no update. is the timeframe the same as the tourist stream?

moonwitchbleu · February 2015

hi @sunshine, im waiting for my mom's visa as well. I applied for her last feb 16. iba2x yata kasi mom ng friend's friend ko only took 7 days daw.

nutmeg709 · February 2015

@sunshine I also applied tv for myself under the sponsorship of my hubby on feb 4, until now, no respond yet..

Marit_z83 · February 2015

Ask ko lang po, invite ko both parents ko dito for 3 months kasama yung 9 year old na pamangkin ko. Ano yung mga form na kailangan i-submit. Pwede ba magregister me online under my name then yun na din gagamitin ko sa paglodge ng visa nila. Thanks in advance

create an immi.com account...
then mag log-in ka..
then you can create an applicaation for them one by one..
ofcourse make sure na inominate mo ang sarili mo to be the contact person..
once paid/submitted ung application, lalabas na ang recommended docs to be attached..

sunshine · March 2015

Guys, approve na visa ng mom ko. Pero pending pa rin yung sa kapatid ko. Sabi doon na "Processing - Please wait for the department to contact you." Naranasan nyo na ba to and what does it usually mean?

kremitz · March 2015

For those na nagapPly ng tourist visa for their parents using their imMiACcoUnt,panO po un gagawin?bAlak k sana imMiaCCOunt n hubBy gamitin namen to apPly for tourist visa for my father in law.

kremitz · March 2015

@goreo search ka s iselect for insurance.nsa 90 per mONTH ata pinakamaBAbA.ung s australian unity.

juliannez23 · March 2015

@Whizler Thank you sa info. Gusto ko talaga sila dalhan ng pasalubong so I will just declare it para wala problems.

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.

Thank you in advanced!

multitasking · March 2015

@juliannez23 .. when my mother stayed here for 3 months.. BUPA insurance ni avail ko.. around 120 AUD per month...

juliannez23 · March 2015

@multitasking Thank you sa info. Ngtry ko kumuha ng quote sa BUPA insurance pero halos hindi din nagkalayo un price. 456 USD un price down to 438 dahil may 5% discount pag online purchased good for 3 months. Kelan ka ngavail? Mukha nagtaas na sila?

Pero mas mura pa sa WorldNoMads kasi 424 USD lng un standard nila and miminum of 4 months pa un plan nila. Meron pa kaya 300 USD lng for 3 months?

Thanks in advanced uli!
