Ah sabagay. Hehe. Ako nag-student visa din po dati, 1997-2001. Wala ako maalala proof of funds, Statutory Declaration lang ng uncle ko na citizen na he will support me financially and provide accomodation and daily expenses + tuition fees. Yun lang. Not sure ngaun. Medyo mahal na din tuition fees sa mga international schools dito last time I checked, hindi na biro mag-aral dito.

I believe, kelangan ng affidavit of support and bank cert/bank statement....Sa bank statement ba, nid ba ng embassy yung latest 3 mons? how much ba yung total POF for a single applicant?
Sa DIAC website kc around 700,000-800,000, then sa agency na nakausap ko almost 1M. Sa IDP, I was shocked when the agent I talked to said that I don't need to present POF in australian embassy otherwise the schools I'm applying for would request for it. Nalilito na ako? Ano ba talaga nid ng POF or hindi na?

yung about naman po sa school na hihingi ng proof of funds.. sa case ko po yung school is may checklist lang kasama sa application form which states na kayang suportahan ang cost of living , tuition fee and other expenses while in au tas pipirmahan lang... hindi na sila humingi ng bank staements and affidavit of support from sponsors....
