Tourist Visa

wyseman · November 2016

Hi @batman thanks for your reply.

I don't think we'll be able to add or include her job in case makakuha nga siya before the flight. Since ang graduation nila ay end of January pa next year, and we're planning to apply her a visa nextweek already. And regarding attending special occassions. Walang occassions e, gusto lang talaga maexperience ang Australia. Ano kaya kung palabasin namin na yung cousin namin sa AU ang bahala sa gastusin niya kunwari?

Do you think her current status is not enough to get her a visa approval?

engineer20 · November 2016

@wyseman masyadong malaki yung 200k for 2 weeks na visit. baka isipin nila may plan na magstay ng mas matagal.

wyseman · November 2016

@engineer20 sorry for the late reply, ngayon lang ulit naka visit dito sa forum.

Hmmmm, I would say buffer yung iba. Saka we have plans kasi to visit Tasmania din and Sydney maliban sa Melbourne. Pero may point po kayo. We'll look into that.

Thank you for your reply!

Hello, I'm planning to apply for a tourist visa next month. Mainly for travel lang talaga. Kaso I'm travelling on July 2017 pa. If ever na ma grant ako ng visa, ilang months ang validity? No sponsors here, travelling on my own; been to other countries too.

Hello po, ask ko lang po kung anong chance maapprove ang tourist visa ng sister ko. Plan kasi namin is siya nalang magdadala sa baby namin before the required initial entry date. Nauna kasi kami mag-asawa..naiwan muna si baby. We are just one month here in AU.

1. My sister has no work since housewife lang siya
2. She is incharge of her kids since husband in on overseas
3. She doesn't need to be here for more than 3 months.

It really depends on the case officer.. but my sister who has no job and no money on the bank got approved... we just submitted all the required document like payslip , bank statement and a invitation and statutory letter that we will be giving her food and accommodation ( our payslip etc )

@JCsantos regarding ur sister, ilan taon na po cya nun ngrant po un TV nya at ilan un kinuha nyong duration ng stay nya? thanks

Anybody here in the Philippines who successfully traveled to and from Australia, I need an answer for this paragraph from my Visa Grant Fact Sheet. It says there, "There are guidelines on departure formalities for all international bound Philippine nationals", and when I opened the link it provided this is the message from the Australian Embassy in the Philippines' website:

"There are guidelines on departure formalities for all international bound Philippine nationals
The Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) conducts a mandatory Guidance and Counselling Program for departing Filippino spouses, fiance and other partners of foreign nationals.

All Philippines nationals travelling to Australia should check with the CFO in order to comply with exit requirements. This applies equally to whether you hold a temporary or permanent Australian visa.

Failure to comply with the CFO requirements may result in delays departing the Philippines.

Further information can be found on the following Philippines Government websites:

See: Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO)

See: Bureau of Immigration (BI)

See: Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA)"

Do I need to arrange an appointment with CFO prior departure? My flight is already on Wednesday, I am really worried about this.

Thanks you for your answers "kababayan".

God bless us all

@hopefully ano pala yung visa mo? tourist visa lng ba or yung 189 or 190, if tourist lng di na kailangan yan, pero if immigrant visa at galing ka ng pinas, yun kailangan mo ng pdos

hopefully · December 2016

@FrankAbignale ., Tourist Visa Subclass 600 po. Para sa pdos po ba yung tinutukoy dun?

FrankAbignale · December 2016

@hopefully Uu para sa pdos yan, pag galing ka pinas tapos mag migrate ka...

FrankAbignale · December 2016

@hopefully ito news dati... Ewan ko lng kung may nagbago, sa akin dati nung nagpunta ako hindi naman ako hinanapan

Hi, anyone here who can recommend a migration agent for tourist and spouse visa, how much is the fee?

oninz · December 2016

May business permit po ako na sinubmit at dti kaso ung business ko po itatayo pa lang. requirements po kac un bago ka mka open ng business eh..

thanks po!

batman · December 2016

@twotrickpony when we had our TV application it was 5 month before the travel. It was granted 17 days after application. valid for 1 year.

@wyseman sorry for late reply, how was the visa application?

which country ka based?

batman · December 2016

@oninz sorry but I really don't have any idea as we have not attached any business permit during our application. Kasi wala namn kami business sa pinas. Actually for OFW who are applying, parang hindi sila mahigpit. kasi kami we just provided our employment contract na hanggang next pa matatapos, tpos employment certificates. as proof na babalik pa kami.

oninz · December 2016

@batman 2nd try ko na po kac to. i also submitted the supporting docs that you have mentioned but then they still refused my application. kac po daw walang strong ties na babalik po ako nang pinas.

batman · December 2016

@oninz bakit pinas diba Dubai ka, dapat ang proof na send mo is yung proof na babalik kapa ng Dubai. Like contract ng employer, certification from employer nang leave entitlement mo. ganun mga docs na provide ko. Although nag attached din kami ng documents ng kakilala naming from AU. Citizen na sila. and distant relative ni wife. baka may bearing din yun. Family of 4 yong application nmin. sau ba?

Hello everyone,

If any of you who need dollars (AUD and USD) , just message me thru this number: 09166352597.
The price will be based on forex, I think it's a win-win situation for us. I just want to get rid of my excess dollar from my visit.

Note that it's limited only, so first ring first serve.

God bless everyone and enjoy your trip to Aussie. I just came back from my trip to Sydney and I really want to get back in this place.

Quick question, na-grant po ako ng tourist visa Subclass 600 last Sept 28 2016. It says the following:

Stay For/Until: 3 Month(s)
Entries: Multiple
Last Date to Arrive: 28 September 2017

I toured last November 2016 for a week. Does that mean I'm only allowed until this February 2017 for holidays sake prior to my last trip, which was 3 mos ago? Or until Sept 28th of this year? Planning to book sana come summer time to maximize the use of visa. Thanks in advance.

axlrose · February 2017

@cacophony Since multiple entry ka, you're allowed 3 months PER ENTRY. Hindi ka lang puwede mg-enter sa AU after the 28th of Sept 2017.

ochie8i8 · February 2017

I'm on a vistor visa po kasi andito po ko sa Melbourne ngyon... plan po namin ng tita ko iapply ako ng student visa. May nkapag sabi kc sakin na kasma daw s list of countries ang pinas n hindi pwede ma convert ang tourist visa to student habang andito s oz. Pero sinearch ko sa google wala naman ako makita n info regarding don. Sana po may makasagot ng question ko...

Thank you po sa magrereply in advance...

alexamae · March 2017

Hi, pwede mag tanong. Sino recently nag apply ng tourist visa sa immi account for parent and siblings. Ano po ang processing times ninyo? Onshore ko po ni lodge using my immi account. Salamat!

turtle09 · March 2017

hello po!anyone po na pwede makasagot, im applying tv 600, kung ilang days lang nilagay sa letter na mag stay sa oz yun din po ba ang iaaproved sakin o automatic 3months yun pag naaproved?

axlrose · March 2017

@turtle09 minimum ng 3 months I think ang binbigay nila. Diba sa application form, you'll choose either 3 months, 6 months, or a year..

actually depends, minsan 1 month stay lang binibigay pero i have not heard ng exact date ng declared ang binigay. pinka short na siguro ung 1 month.

turtle09 · March 2017

thanks po @axlrose @Xiaomau82
follow up question lang po, narefused po kc first application ko for the reason of being unemployed kababalik ko lang kc galing ibang bansa so wala ako trabaho dito...need ko lang any suggestion na pwede ko idagdag sa mga documents ko as follows;
-sari-sari store business (with business permit and mayors permit)
-deed of sale (lot) with house
-bank account (150k)
-mutual fund investment sa bank
-birth certificate of 2 kids & their school certification
-statutory declaration of support ng sponsor (with bank statement)
sabi kc sa nabasa ko dito sa forum kung ano yung naging reason ng refusal yun dapat iku-comply, sa tingin ko naman po wala naman company na papayag na 3months mawawala. last question po is makakatulong ba ang itinerary plane ticket papunta sa ibang bansa naman after sana nitong australia trip?thanks in advance po sa mga sasagot.
