How to Apply Online for an Australian Tourist Visa - Step By Step Guide
@prcand hello po ulit. got my mom in law's visa last june 23. 1 year multiple. 3 months stay each entry. another question lang po. kase we intend her to stay here most of the time kase to take care of our 3 year old baby. july 5 dating nila dito so until oct. 5 yung validity if 3 months right? how long does she has to stay sa pinas para makapag balik ulit cya dito without any questions? pwede ba after a month balik na cya? thanks in advance

@avp_manaloto first and foremost, congratulations! yeah, if darating siya ng July 5, October 5 most probably last day niya. Pero to play safe, lagyan mo ng buffer of one day or week before just to be sure (i.e., between Sept 28 to Oct 4 departure).
As for coming back, depends sa visa officer sa succeeding entries niya. May mga stories na naque-question sila each and everytime pagbalik after first entry for 3 months (regardless of the day's outside australia after last departure). Pero if it makes you feel any better, meron akong 600 subclass dati bago ako naging PR, and within that one year, 4 na beses ako pabalik balik and in no instance ininterview ako. Ung words lang from them ay "Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Day".
Pero curious lang ako, may program si Australia for parents of PR that have 18 (yes eighteen) months multiple entry validity, but they can stay for up to 12 months straight without leaving. Di ba to na-explore or ung nabigay?

Ang alam ko, reasonable number of days at least 2 weeks. Pero meron ako nakasabay dati literally “umexit” sa Singapore. Arrived in the evening sa Singapore then the next day daw flight na nia pabalik. And according to her, lagi na daw nia ginagawa un. Her daughter is married to an OZ and shes taking care of the child rin. Di ko lang din sure if safe to say na ok siang gawin. Kasi I heard rin stories na naquequestion pag pabalik balik nga sa au

@rhumy hindi naman masyado sila particular sa content. yun sa amin nilagay lng nya na its been a while na di kami nagkikita kaya ininvite nila kami na bisitahin sila sa Au. tpso binanggit nya na pede sa kanila kami mag stay at sabihan lang sila kelan para maka off sila sa work. tapos attached lang naming passport nun ng invite.

@Xiaomau82 thanks po s reply! Im still thinking pa din kasi kng sa pinas ko sya iaaply ng spouse visa or dito na s oz. worried lng kasi ako baka paginapply ko sya ng tourist visa pra dto na un spouse e madeny kc wla pako permanent job or sufficient income to support her... Maybe ill ask my tito na tinitirhan ko dto if pwde sya ang mginvite nlng tutal full time working sya... Problem is baka mbgyan sya ng "no further stay" restriction so di ko dn sya maiaaply ng spouse visa dto if ever kasi need nya umuwi after her tourist visa....

yun nga ang prob kun may visa condition n no further stay. unfortunately, di natin mapredict un or kun atleast sana may indication sila na kun anong type ng application ang binibigyn nila nun kaso wala e. anyway, goodluck sa application ng wife mo.

Hi! I have a girlfriend in AU. Temporary visa holder lang sya kasi she's a student. Qualified ba sya mag invite for Visitor Visa? Anong chances ng approval?
Thanks!

@mj14 you can apply visit visa even without invitation. if someon invites you that increases your chances. though it all depends on your supporting documents - financial capacity while in Australia and most importantly you have reasons/proof to return back to PH once your visit is over.

@batman Thank you! Im currently employed naman, I can provide payslips and ITR. Kaya lang I doubt efficient ung bank account ko pero yung tita ko will support my travel sana kung matuloy ako. Is it okay na ang i-present ko na funds/bank statement is from my tita?
PS: Birthday ko din kasi ng October kaya yun sana reason ng holiday ko.

if u are submitting your aunt's bank statement then might as well ask her to sponsor u. ang problem kasi minsan if applying from PH, they consider your personal assets and reasons kun babalik ka p b or not.
batmanDarwin Australia Posts: 3,532Member, Moderator Joined: Oct 04, 2011
@mj14 , Xiaamau82 is right, just ask your tita na bigyan ka invitation letter stating that she will be incharge for your expenses while you are in AU. so that left the other factor, to prove that you are coming back home. dapat may solid evidence ka. payslip ITR alone not enough. include mo contract showing na bound ka for certain year kong may contract man. or letter from employer. at ari arian din. car, lupa, bahay under your name.

@batman thanks guys! Nandito kasi ung tita ko sa pinas, diba ung invitation letter should come from someone sa AU? Wala ako contract sa employer, pero I can ask a letter na currently employed ako at my leave credits.
batmanDarwin Australia Posts: 3,532Member, Moderator Joined: Oct 04, 2011
@mj14 that made the situation more intricate. pero nasa AU ba sya once nag vacation ka? kong babalik naman sya before ka babakasyon doon pede pa din magbigay ng invitation. pag wala sya doon sa intended bakasyon mo that's another story. letter will do.

Kala namin nagkamali lang or malas na random kame sa bio meterics. Un pla nagchange cla ng rule pag dating sa batch namin. For ur dads case baka ganun talaga pag maritime visa cya.

@Xiaomau82 okay lang ba yun? Yung tita ko andito sa pinas. Sya daw mag sponsor ng trip ko. Ano kelangan ko iprepare na document na lang?
yung tita mo na magsponsor, pr ba sia or citizen ng au? if not, it wont help. mas gugulo ung reason and intention. unless sabay kayo mag aaply ng tita mo for visitor visa then u can make it appear like a family vacation.
U dont need invitation talaga to apply for au visitor visa pero kelangn may maibigy kang evidence na babalik ka pa tlaga. like what @batman said, provide all evidences of your properties would help.
How is your travel history so far? minsan kinoconsider din nila un. if u have previous visa from 1st world country siguro mas makakatulong un.

As for coming back, depends sa visa officer sa succeeding entries niya. May mga stories na naque-question sila each and everytime pagbalik after first entry for 3 months (regardless of the day's outside australia after last departure). Pero if it makes you feel any better, meron akong 600 subclass dati bago ako naging PR, and within that one year, 4 na beses ako pabalik balik and in no instance ininterview ako. Ung words lang from them ay "Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Day".
Pero curious lang ako, may program si Australia for parents of PR that have 18 (yes eighteen) months multiple entry validity, but they can stay for up to 12 months straight without leaving. Di ba to na-explore or ung nabigay?

U dont need invitation talaga to apply for au visitor visa pero kelangn may maibigy kang evidence na babalik ka pa tlaga. like what @batman said, provide all evidences of your properties would help.
How is your travel history so far? minsan kinoconsider din nila un. if u have previous visa from 1st world country siguro mas makakatulong un.
