  @jhndoe2000 thanks sa link... Sinabi na din namin yan pero sabi ng uni if someone from Philippines daw karamihan na denied sa visa. They said kailangan daw kasi magprovide ng exceptional reason kung bakit dito sa australia iprocess...

  @sunshine oh, so nagstudent pala siya dati. Baka may chance. I dunno for sure. Basta ang kailangan yata exceptional circumstances and masatisfy yung GTE. Kumg madedeny magkakarecord and iaadvise siya to leave kung walang ibang visa.
  
  Pero I'm no expert so my suggestion is keep in touch with immigration. Sila naman may final say, hindi mga opinion nmin..

  How about existing Visit Visa valid one year? I plan to go to Aus ng Dec this year. Can I apply for a Student Visa with an existing Visit Visa (di pa gamit)?

  @galtraveller: as far as i know, pwede...my visitor is also multiple entry 1yr, n grant naman yung student visa ko.
  
  @dream88 your visa will depend on how long yung bridging course mo, if 12 weeks lng business visa ang applyan mo, if more than 12 weeks, student visa ang applyan mo.

  @tooties - ay sorry mali pala. naglodge po kase ako ng application for visit visa (tourist - no sponsor) wala pa pong resulta mag iisang bwan na po. i was just thinking when i get it, it's usually valid for one year na single entry (already had two in the past they never gave me a multiple entry). so once i get to oz on the visit visa, i hope to convert it to student visa from there.
