Tourist Visa - Parent

atchino · February 2015

tumpak @atchino

hindi pala pwede basta basta agad mag apply kasi baka 6 months lang validity noh?
ay wait, parang nabasa ko 1 year na ang validity ng VISA for 3 months stay (Min) and 3 years validity for 1 year stay.

Ang Tanong:
Kung student visa ka lang, ma kakapag apply ba ang parent mo ng tourist visa na may 3yrs validity/12months max stay?

May mga kakilala ako na nakapg apply ng ptourist visa for parents at na grant ng 3yrs validity pero PR at citizen na sila.

- sa affidavit of support or sa letter of inviitation sinabi nila na susuportahan nila yung expenses ng parents nila while in australia at maging taga alagang anak habang both parents are working.

Tingin ko yung 12months parnt tourist visa with 3yrs validity para lang sa PR or citizen

Cguro bka may nakasubok na dito na student visa?

I am planning to bring my mother to Oz for 2 weeks visit, tanong lang po regarding the following:

1. Medical- By default hindi ba ito required? Required lang ba ito kapag up to 1 year yung visit? My mother is 64 yrs old.

2. Bank Statement- What if majority ng savings ko na-transfer ko na sa NAB account ko sa OZ? Since currently offshore ako, paano ko makakapag-request ng Bank Statement or can I show yung snapshot ng Internet Banking ko as alternative?

3. NBI Clearance- Paano kung may NBI clearance pa ang mother ko na wala pang 1 year since date issued, pwede ko bang gamitin yun or need kumuha ng bago upon request of CO?

Salamat po!

hi

yes kasabay namin si mother this june..
yung 3 years validity nagstart na yun from the visa grant date..
i think yung 3 years validity means that kahit di namin sya kasabay this june, pede sya sumunod later basta yung one year stay is within mag end ang 3 years validity..
alright, thanks Goreo

ni require pa po ba ni CO na magsend si Mother nyo ng NBI clearance?
Nabasa ko nag ask din si @wizardofOZ kung need pa ang NBI clearance?

@peach17, yung kay mother hindi naman sya hiningan ng NBI clearance..

@peach17 gusto kong itry tong gawin.

Hahaha. Alam ko slim ang chance pag ganun. Kaya yung mom ko pinagdadarasal ko na lang na kahit 3-6 months ang ma-grant sakanya. Renew na lang ng renew.

3 to 6 moths possible ma grant ang tourist visa.
- you need to provide evidence that your parents can support their stay for that duration.

if more tah 3 months visa - required ang medical exam
may certain age din na mandatory ang medical exam.

Madalas naka indicate sa toursit visa "No further stay" - meaning hindi mo pwedeng xtend yung stay mo in Aus.

Alam ko din hindi ka approve kun kakauwi mo lang ng pinas, tpos babalik ka na kaaad ng au as tourist. May naka pag sabi sakin na nag subok mag apply yung parents right after namakuwi ng pinas kasi kailangan na may mag alaga ng bata pero na denied, reason daw, kailngan na magtagal muna sa labas ng bansa bago ulit mag apply ng visa.

Ang tourist, temporary sta para mamasyal at makita australia.... kun babalik agad, ma quesion nila yung intention to tour australia.

May "chance" pag nahuli ka na hindi valid tourist, pwede ka bigyan ng exclusion for2 yrs na hindi pwede makapasok ng australia --- san ko nakuha info? sa TV - border security hehehe....

Hello po alam niyo po ba kung paano magkaroon ng multiple entry tourist visa na valid for 1 or 3years para sa parents ng international student ng OZ? Gusto ko po kasi sila nakakuha ng multiple entry para anytime po pwede sila pumunta sa oz para mabisita po ako. Currently nasa pinas pa po ako, sa april pa po ang punta ko ng aussie for my school intake. Please help naman po kung sino may idea. Thanks po.

Wala pa akong kakilala na student visa na nakapag apply ng parents tourist visa na multiplr entry with 12 months max stay.

Again, ang alam ko lang na na grant ng 3yrs multiple is for PR or Aus citizen for PARENTs only. Para mas mdali for parents na bisit nila yung anak nila na "resident" ng australia. Pwedeng hindi nila makita ng matagal since nakatira na sa australia.

Alam ko di pwede...

Mga possible reason:
- student visa required lang mag work ng limited hours / sa tuition mo pa lang at cost of living in Aus eh mahirap na makaipon pano mo pa ma prove na kaya mo shoulder cost ng visit ng parents mo for 12 months stay.

- kung mag apply lang sila ng tousirst visa, regardless kung nasa aus ka or wala ka s aaustrlaia. 12 months ay sobrang tagal par ama tousr buong australia.
Meron yata na working tourist visa na pwedeng matagal mag stay pero hindi applicable sa Filipino citizens.

- Kung student ka lang at reason mo sa immigration para bisitahin ka ng parents mo while studying... eh pwede naman na ikaw ang umuwi at bisitain mo sila kung naluungkot ka.
di rin naman pwede sabihin na para alagaan ka or batayan ka habang nag aaral. Di rin pwedeng sabihin na mag alaga ng anak mo (kung may family/anak ka na) habang nag aaral ka (ikaw naman amg desisyon kung gusto modalin family mo while on student visa)

- kung tourist visa at in a year eh pabalik balik ka sa australia, pwede ka mapag hinalaan bkit ka balik ng balik... legit tousit tourist para mamasyal at mag tour in australia. pwed eka na pag hinalaan na magwowork -- at pag na denied visa mo, may exclusoin na 2 yrs na di ka pwde makapasok ng australia at mag kakarecord ka ng cancellation ng VISA. Ma apektuha kung mag apply ka ng VISA sa ibang bansa.

Kung gusto nila na madalas ka bisitahin, apply lang ulit sila ng tousit VISA after nila umuwi ng pinas. Pero kung agad ka mag apply after makauwi ng pinas, may chance na ma denied. May kakilala ako na ctizen na sa aUS, naka 1 yr stay na parents.. tpos inaply ulit agad kais walang mag babantay sa anak - na denied yung application. Kasi hindi daw pwede na bumalik kaagad ng australia eh kakauwi lang ng pinas. kailangan at least 6 months or more sa pinas bago ulit mag apply ng tourist VISA. Ang ideal daw dapat mas matgal ka dapat sa Pinas bago ka mag apply ulit ng tousirt visa / logical naman else lahat na lang re apply ng re apply ng tourist visa pag balik ng pinas para makabalik agad sa australia hehehe....

Yan ay opinion lang po.

Ngayon ko lang narinig to, but if I were you for peace of mind get one .... the least get a Travel Insurance which is cheaper.

Sabihin ko lang by experience kung ma confine sa hospital ang mother in law mo mahina ang 2-3k$ for a 1-2 days stay sa hospital

none , you can get anything ... you can also use local insurance provider i mean kahit sa pinas ka kumuha .. inde sila ganun ka strict sa insurance

moonwitchbleu · March 2015

Hindi naman kaya hassle pag sa pinas na insurance? still deciding kung ano kukunin ko for my mama, nagtitingin na ako sa bupa and medibank here which is 200+ per month, while yung bluecross $255 na ang 180 days, so malaki talaga ang difference, pero baka kasi madami process pag sa pinas compared sa mga insurance dito, matanda na din kasi diba need na talaga ang comprehensive na insurance for them.

atchino · March 2015

It seems Bluecross yung pinaka mura.

Looks like Bluecors din yta nakuha ng parents ko dati pero di ko na matndaan matagal na kasi.

Hesistant kami mag putna ng GP kay hindi kami nakapag try na mag claim.

Meron kaya dito na nakasubok na ng bBlueCorss at kamusta ang expereince nila with the servicde and claims ?

kremitz · March 2015

Australian unity kinuha ko sa mom ko. when I checked sa iselect kasi yun pinakamura eh. around 90 plus per month. next n mura is yung bupa na ata. nasa 110 ata yun.

JCsantos · March 2015

Health Insurance mate, pero kasi ang Bluecross they offer Travel and Health insurance in one policy

Health Insurance mate, pero kasi ang Bluecross they offer Travel and Health insurance in one policy

So kung 1 year for parents above 60 years old, magkano lahat yan?

moonwitchbleu · March 2015

@vhoythoy dun sa nakita ko, 8k plus ang 180 days sa bluecross, meron din sila dollar na package which is $255 for 180 days.

raymundjubyOZ · March 2015

@Andoy31 wala pa kaming nakukuha padating na si mom in law in 2 weeks.. pinagiisipan namin if okay ba kung sa bluecross na lang ksi below 60 pa naman sya

Andoy31 · March 2015

got it. thanks mate.

i find it surprising that the cost coverage for couples under visitor visa to be more expensive as compared to just getting two individual health coverage:
eg for australian unity
for my folks under couples -- it'll cost me 202.95/month for the basic
for my dad alone -- it'll cost me 99/month for the basic coverage
for my mom alone -- it'll cost me 99/month for the basic coverage.

bluecross is dependent on the age if more than 50 yrs old -- their coverage is only till 190days and their premium for a 1M coverage is ~5K php.
(laking mura ng blue cross, kaso limited lang to 190 days - i'm thinking na after 190 days will just take insurance kina australian unity. (will check with them tomorrow whether this is possible)

moonwitchbleu · March 2015

Saan mu nakita yang 99 per mo. @Andoy31? Yung sa bupa nakita ko 130 kasi.

The reason why hesitant ako sa bluecross is because they specified in their package na pre-existing illnesses are not covered. Which is yung ang purpose ng health insurance ng mama ko. she has hypertension and also diabetic. so baka magiging useless lang ang bluecross sa case ng mama ko na may history na with these illnesses.

For those po na immiaccount nyo ang ginamit in applying for your parents visa, ano po sinagot nyo sa queston na to:

Does the applicant authorise another person to receive written correspondence on their behalf?

Nilagay nyo po ba na kayo na mag receive?
