Were you permanently employed when you were approved? Can you tell me a lil bout your supporting docs? I have quit my job to spend the holidays overseas last year since hindi ako pinayagan magleave ng company ko.
I wanted to find out if a job offer be enough incentive to return? I have no assets under my name yet.
My current bank account has only enough for pocket money. no credit card. It's my bf who is an Australian that is going to sponsor my trip.

Ganito kasi yon, ni lodge namin Yong application Jan 13. Naka attach na sa docs namin Yong job contract ko stating na my contract will be up to Jan 15. Fortunately, by Jan 17, na approve na Yong visa for multiple entry pa, good for a year. So there, to answer your question, I don't have a permanent job na at that time kasi galing na din ako sa Oz last Sept 13, nag vacay lang ako for 16 days. Then went home, looked for another temporary job, then applied for another visa at eto, na approvan ng multiple entry.
From what I heard, having a job there isn't the only thing they're basing at, so long as your sponsor have enough money to support you during your stay, then they will surely approve it. Na worry kasi ako non baka kasi Yong temporary job ko ang basis nila pag ma dedeny ang application ko, pero Sabi nong kaibigan kong Pinay, may kilala daw siya na Pinay na walang trabaho Jan, na naka Puna rin dito..

Hi lhanz23, to share my experience with you, the agent who processed my visitor visa (business stream tho) advised me to have at least aud5000 in my bank account. BF, has of course much larger amount than mine.. hope that helps

Senxa, Hindi po ako via Mnl, Ceb-SG-Perth po ako. Wala naman silang supporting documents na hinanap sa kin. 1st visit ko last 13 Sept 2016 ai Hindi rin cla nag ask, pro I assume they have the records na. Also I just showed the printed letter lang from immigration. It's my 3rd visit na and so far so good.
PS: if youre on tourist visa, make sure may return ticket ka.

Naiisip ko po kasi kay bf pa invite if possible para mabigyan sana multiple entry. Though nahihiya po ako magsabi sa kanya kasi for the last time I visit , invite po ng kapatid ko Yun.
Ayoko na din po kasi pa invite sa ate ko kasi nag submit na sya application for my mum ei.
Otherwise I’ll do it on my own. I just want to know how much minimum fund I should have. Para po ma approve tourist visa ko na Hindi invite ng kapatid or ni bf?
(Just want to show that I’m capable po hehe)
Salamat po ng madame

I'm still currently employed in Manila, but I was wondering if there's a chance that I will be denied given that I have a work visa application pending.
For reference, I have multiple schengen visas and an active US visa right now (tourist, 10 years validity). Not sure if that will help my case.
Thanks in advance!
