Tourist Visa

ize · July 2015

@cpa_oct2011 hi.. Buti nmn sau agad..submitted kc friday afternoon pero ala result.. Hopefuly sa monday.. Xa nga pla san u nag attached ng add docs if u remmber? Dun ba sa supporting docs section or dun sa kung saan we normally mag attach ng lahat ng docs? Bka lng kc hindi agad na update dun sa system nila kc nag attached aq dun sa section where we attach all docs not where it says attach supporting docs..

@iza i applied thru vfs e.. The CO directly requested the docs and sumbitted the same on the e-mail add she had provided then.

Sa mga nag apply online, I applied June 28 and June 29 nagbago na ang status to Application Received. Nung ako nag asikaso at nag monitor ng TV ng dad ko, may status na "In Progress" 3 days after ng loding nya online at dahil multiple request nya, after 3 days din may health request na sya. Tanong ko lang, normally ba di na nagbabago yung status na "Application Received?" or dapat ko na silang i-follow up para maging "In Progress?"

@superluckyclover My mom and my sister's tourist visa had never been at "In Progress" status...First status was "Application Received" then after more than 1 month it was granted and the status was "Finalised"

Hi po. Joining this thread. I was about to fill up forms sa immi account ko for my parents. turned out, may konting issue pala ang mga birth cert nila. hindi na nila inasikaso before kasi twice na silang nakapunta ng Oz without using the birth cert. i know, you would wonder paano sila nakakuha ng passport, matagal na kasi silang may passport and dati ata di pa requirement yung NSO birth cert. so puro renewal na lang ang gingawa. anyway, i was planning to apply 1 year visa for them kaso sa immi account kailangan ng birth cert. ok lang sa father ko kasi meron namn siyang ibang id na to prove yung name niya. sa mother ko kasi wala siyang ibang proof sa name niya nung dalaga pa siya. so here is my question, ano po dapat gawin sa case ni mother? yung name niya sa NSO kasi may maria. so parang 5-6 months ata ang processing sa NSO para palitan yun. thanks po sa advice.

I don't think there is an easy way,

ibig mo bang sabihin papalitan lahat ng docs nya to the corrected name??

kung problema sa NSO mag bigay ka na lang ng grease money to hasten the process

@piglet sis kami po hindi parehas name ni husband sa birth certificate at passport (di pa kasi mahigpit noon sa pagkuha ng passport).lahat ng docs nya 1 word name nya, sa BC 2 words..pinaayos nalang namin ung BC.i took us 5 months para ma correct at around 8K sa pag process.

guenb · July 2015

@lisa I agree po with others, ipaayos nio na lang first sa City Registrar nung place of Birth, tapos sila po yung mg forward nun sa NSO. Ganun po kasi nangyari sakin bago ako nkkuha ng passport....

guenb · July 2015

@gerardds yung samin po ng lola ko, almost 1month yung processing bago ma grant. Pero yung sa lola ko po a week after nung ngpasa ng request sila ng xray...

piglet24 · July 2015

@JCsantos: hindi lahat ng docs niya papalitan. yung sa BC niya lang. kasi lahat ng current docs niya one name lang gamit niya. i guess yung long process talga susundin nila. grease money talaga? natawa ako dun.

@lisa and @guenb: thanks, yun na nga lang ang gagawin.

another follow up question, kasi my parents were able to get visa for aus namn na dati pa. twice na silang nakakuha ng visa without using the BC. pero yun nga lang hindi longer stay yung nakuha nilang visa. hindi ba magkakaprobs si mother sa pag apply ng visa the same sa nakuha nila dati? additional info: firs trip nila to aus was way back 2009 and ang recent was 2013. thanks for the advice guys!

Hi po question lang, kung magleleave po ako sa work, do I have to ask my employers to put exact dates sa leave form or just state there that I will be on leave for three months? Thank you.

studentvisaboy · July 2015

And how long should my allowance for the visa be? Ok na po ba one month after lodging? Thank you po ulit

glaiza1210 · July 2015

@studentvisaboy put your planned dates

glaiza1210 · July 2015

@studentvisaboy make it two months, and advise ng immigration recently processing times for filipino tourist visa applicants may take longer than 4 weeks. Dami kse lately nag TnT na pinoy dito, they are in tourist visa, hindi na bumabalik at nagwowork illegally. So very strict sila ngayon sa mga pinoy sad to say....

Hello po..
I applied for tourist visa subclass 600 (12months) at VFS Makati last june 16, 2015 together w/ my son (5years old), and unfortunately last july 13, 2015 got the result and it was refused by the embassy. My sister-in law and brother- in law was our sponsor and they are both citizen. The reason of our refusal was hndi dw cla satisfied and wala dw sila assurance na babalik kmi d2 sa pinas, nalagay q kc sa form, ung family members na hndi kasama magtravel australia is my husband which is nsa oman, hndi q nalagay parents q n nand2 sa pinas I thought kc asawa and anak lng ang ilalagay if ever.. Unemployed po aq pero lahat ng documents nila to prove na they can accommodate and pay for our living expenses during our stay there ay nasubmit ko naman skanila. Ung Reason of our visit was to give assistance sa sister-in law ko who just gave birth nung july 9, 2015 on their first baby and at the same time for vacation nrin. And now po, I am planning to re apply online kc nand2 po aq sa province now, but this time ako nlng po kasi badly needed tlga nila na may mka2tulong pra sa baby nila.. Iniisip po nmin qng 3months or 6months ung iapply q pra may chance magrant agad.. Pero meron po ba kau advice to increase my chance of having a visa? Or anong additional documents pa kailangan ko po submit? Sorry po ang haba.. hehe.. thank u po for ur time and hope someone can help me po.. thanks again

Galtraveller · July 2015

Me mali ata sa ginawa ko pag apply ng Tourist Visa (June 29) gang ngayon la pa resulta. Wala akong job ngayon. Although nagpakita naman ako ng bank certificate proof of funds. May bearing ba un na wla akong work pero nabigyan na ako ng Tourist Visa twice noon at bumalik naman ako ng Pinas after. Application received pa rin nakalagay pagcheck ko online. Pero date of travel ko linagay ko Dec 15, 2015 gang Jan 5 2016.

Hello all. Tanong lang. Ako naglodge kasi sa immiaccount for my lolo at lola last july 19 and 20. After 2 days nakareceive yung emails na ako rin ang nagmamanage ng short survey from dept of foreigh affairs. So sinagutan ko na. May ganyan ba kayo? If meron, after that kelan next communication sa applicants?
