    @Admin hi admin and to everyone who have applied for tourist visa online, yung scanned documents po ba na iupload ko kailangan ko pa ipacertify as true copy kahit original scanned documents naman ang iscan at iattach ko sa application? Anong experience nyo regarding this? Salamat ng marami! :)

    Normally yes, 4-6 weeks from the date of acknowledgment. That’s what happened sa friend ko, lagpas na sa date ng travel namin, wala pa rin result ung tourist visa nia, from PH din inapply. Hopefully yours is within 4 weeks pa din namn.

    Usually 1 month stay. the validity and whether multiple or single entry depends on the case officer.

    @Jhona as long as you can justify na babalik kayo at hindi magoverstay sa Oz then your application should be fine

    @jen_abe of course. Pero you still need to go through the process of applying.. Kailangan mo lang iprove na babalik ka pa ng Pinas and with enough funds to support your tourist stay in oz.

    Hello everyone., Can anyone give me a compelling reason para ma-grant ang visa aside from tour, sightseeing, and the like., Yun bang tipong pag nabasa ng case officer parang 50% chance na na ma-grant. Thanks po sa mga magbibigay ng feedback., God bless to us all

    u need a bank statement to prove na u are financially capable na maging tourist, of course they wouldnt want someone to enter Australia then mag work dun ilegally or engage in any ilegal activity just to survive when in Australia. if u dont have a bank statement, then u can get your partner to provide the bank statement as your sponsor.
