visa600 · July 2016

@batman Sana naman kung bibilangin ko working day 13th day palang. First nila mag holiday abroad. Any suggestion kung anong airline maganda kasi baka mastress ang mga parents ko ahhhaha konti lang english na baon. I am thinking Qantas tapos request ako ng assistance.

batman · July 2016

@visa600 di ko pa na try Qantas. pero sabi nila okay daw yun. nag PAL kami nun sa amin. kaso walang TV hehe.

visa600 · July 2016

Ang PAL ba ang walang television? o Qantas. kasi medyo mura eh hahahahah kaso i transfer pa nila bagahe to domestic going to Brisbane. Instruct ko nalang at ask ako assistance sa Qantas.

batman · July 2016

@visa600 ang PAL ang walang TV.

Until now the status of my parents application still " RECEIVED" since July 04,2016. Its been 3 weeks now. Just worried na baka may kulang na docs. but at least sana maglagay ng new status at least alam ko na gumagalaw ang application.

batman · July 2016

@visa600 kelan travel date nyo?

visa600 · July 2016

My parents Tourist Visa iniintay ko anytime, ibili ko sla ng ticket. Excited na sila eh.
Kami Australian Citizen since 2012. Gusto ko lng mag holiday sila for 3 months, pra ma -experience holiday abroad. First time nila travel abroad. Sana naman this week na. Hindi pa ako bumibili ticket kasi intay ko pa Visa. Pero anytime sana.

batman · July 2016

@visa600 I mean doon sa application ano date na declare mo na target travel dates. kasi minsan priority din nila kong very soon na ang planned travel as per application doon sa visit visa.

visa600 · July 2016

Nilagay ko lang na Aug 3 sana andito na sila. Tapos makahabol ng winter time, at Wedding anniversary gift ko sa kanila yun July kasi Anniversary nila. Pero sana maiba manlang status diba? Received padin, 22 days na.

Congrats on the Visa Grant for the parents!

By the way, my experience with PAL last March is good enough. No TV however they let you borrow iPADs. If your parents have iPads already, ask them to download the PAL app so they can access the free media available in the plane which have wifi..

However you mentioned that your parents will go to brisbane right? not sure as of this moment however only Melbourne and Sydney have direct flights thus they need to transfer to domestic terminal and manually do another check in of luggage.

My experience with QANTAS domestic flights is that they have a single luggage check in limit, this was last year so better check their website once again.

I would recommend going with QANTAS and book the whole trip in one seating from Manila to Brisbane therefore even if there are transfers and even if they have more than one luggage, the check in transfers will be automatic. Also International to Domestic transfer in Sydney is well organized for QANTAS..

Hope this helps

Enjoy!

whizler · July 2016

@visa600 oops.. my reply is too late..

which airline did you get?

visa600 · July 2016

@whizler Hi i booked QANTAS and will email them for assistance even meet and greet. Because its their first time to travel.

batman · July 2016

@visa600 congrats! multiple binigay?

visa600 · July 2016

Oo multiple pero 1 year lang ok na yun sobrang saya na nila..

poochy500 · August 2016

Tanong ko lang po kung may possibility kaya na ma-approved ng visitor visa yung dad ko kahit may emphysema sya? Tapos na sya magpa-medical pero pinapabalik sya dahil kelangan daw nya mag submit ng medical certificate na meron syang tinetake na maintenance para sa emphysema nya..

Posible bang madeny sya because of his emphysema? pero hindi naman nakakahawa yung sakit nya.

iheartau · August 2016

Hi guys!
For online application, anong answer nyo sa question na to:
Does the applicant have health insurance arranged for their stay in Australia? Yes or No
We will get health insurance if nirequire or kung ma-approve na. So, sa application ba, i-'No' muna?

KatAmogawin · August 2016

Hi guys, we are new here in Sydney, Australia. Kakarating lang last Feb and planning to ask mom to help us look after our 3 y.old. mahal po ang day care. Gumawa aku immiaccount under my name. if iaapply ko mama ko, dapat ba sya ang may immiaccount para iprocess ang TV600/sponsorship nya or puede aku gumawa
ng application, need your guidance lang po. Salamat in advance!

iheartau · August 2016

@KatAmogawin you can use your immi account. going through the same process myself.

KatAmogawin · August 2016

@iheartau thank you for your reply. Anything I need to prepare like documents pati papa medical ko pa ba ang mama Ko?

iheartau · August 2016

@KatAmogawin just had my parent-IL's visa granted.
applied online: 13-Aug
visa grant: 19-Aug.
multiple entry, 6 monts maximum per stay. Although, 12 months yung inappy ko. They were not required to do any medicals. Last Monday, I saw that there was a requirement for medicals in the online account. We were planning to do it next week pero hindi na lang kasi na-grant na.

For the docs:

filipinacpa · August 2016

hi guys, how much ang bank balance dapat ng parent and yung bank balance ng magsponsor? thanks

dee0829 · August 2016

@iheartau hi. are you PR already? im asking this because PR na kami pero di pa kami umabot ng 2 years to sponsor/invite my mum.. yes, day care is expensive. appreciate your reply. thanks

dee0829 · August 2016

@KatAmogawin hello, any news?

tito123 · August 2016

@filipinacpa wala namang set amount na required pero siyempre kung mas malaki balance mo, much better. hindi na kami nagsubmit ng bank balance or kahit property ng applicant, ang sinubmit lang namin yung bank statement ng SPONSOR, ok na yun, since sponsor naman sasagot ng accommodation, expenses, etc. 10 business days lang nakuha na namin visa grant. good for 3 years multiple entry visa. good luck!

jedh_g · August 2016

@tito123 bro would it be possible to apply for both my parents while I am still here in the Philippines. Already received our family visa grant 189 already. Planning to have my parents be applied for their tourist visa kasi mahirap mag asikaso once nakaalis na kami. Could I show my present company payslips combined with our family business income? Thanks in advance. Would they be required for medical still?

iheartau · August 2016

@dee0829 Yes, I'm a PR here. Almost 4 years but I did not apply for the sponsored family stream. Just the basic subclass 600.

iheartau · August 2016

@tito123 how did you get 3 years multiple entry? Has the applicant been to AU before?

yummy143 · August 2016
