@rojo87 hi. are you in oz na po ? ask lg po ano ang hinanap sayo ng immi sa airport?

passport and visa. actually d nmn na required yung print out ng visa kasi linked nmn na un sa passport number so dapat pag scan nila sa passport mo makikita na nila un. pero dala ka n lng for emergency incase hanapin jan sa pinas.

@Xiaomau82 ...tinitingnan pa rin nila ang print out ng visa namin sa immigration ng pinas...iba iba din kasi sila...sa line up ng mga anak ko hanap at tanong nila kung kelan kami babalik...pero sa line up namin ng bunso ko hindi wala na...so better to print out pa din ng visa just incase...hope makatulong...

Hello can my fiance and I get married in Australia under tourist visa? My fiance is not an Australian, a french citizen. If so, how can we get married in Australia? Thank you

yup depende sa immigration officer, wala nmn kasi transparent procedure sa pinas.

Hello to everyone, tanong ko lang po if the Travel History can affect the approval of the TV. Isa lang po kasi napuntahan kong bansa and nung last May of this year po sya. I'm about to lodge my TV pero I'm having doubts. Also, nag lodge kami dati ng dependent visa pero withdrawn sya since hindi namin ma po provide yung ibang requirements. Makaka apekto kaya yon? Thank you.

Ask lng po required ba sa immigration mg provide ng travel insurance? Isa ba yun sa papers na hahanapin aside from visa, ticket and passport?

kamusta ung mga nag-apply gamit ang ImmiAccount nila, ano po pwede ilagay na attachment sa Planned Tourism activities, or itenerary? (wla pa naman talaga saan ang siguradong papasyalan.) malaking factor ba kapag di ko nilagayan ng attachment yun ma deny ako?

i dont think malaking factor to, yung iba ko ngang kilala d na nagsusubmit nito though factor din kasi they are applying from Singapore and not from Pinas.

Hello,

I want to apply for an Australian tourist visa. I'm a CSR working for more than a year now and I also have a part-time job, I'm teaching Japanese students English. I have a friend from Aussie (he's an Australian citizen) which will help me get a visa. If ever, this is going to be my first time travelling abroad since I don't have any travel history outside of the country yet. I am employed but I don't have enough funds sa bank to cover the show money but my friend told me that he will transfer some of his money sa bank account ko for the sake of having an approved visa. My question is, will my application be approved considering I haven't traveled abroad yet? If ever, I will have enough funds naman to cover my whole stay in Aussie. Also, do I also need to ask my friend to provide an invitation letter to get more chances of getting approved? I might be staying in Sydney for a week and I might have a fund worth, 150k. Would that be enough?

Hoping to get a response.
Thank you!

depends on the case officer. they will check whether you have reasons or intention to return to your home country. mejo risky but you can try since your sponsor is an Australian citizen

Hi guys! Anyone here lodge their visa application this july? I applied for subclass 600 for my iron bridging course.. i am currently overseas. I appear in VFS UAE for my biometrics.. after that checked my immiaccount and status still in "assesment in progress". It will be almost a month since i lodge my application.. any idea from the cause
Of delay and approval? Biometrics is the only message needed to comply from my immiaccount.. and i am done with it..

revsky · August 2017

kmusta ang travel history mo? minsan kasi kinoconsider nila ung traveling pattern ng applicant to make sure na uuwi ka tlaga sa pinas or country of origin. apparently, hindi enough na may trabaho ka lang sa pinas since high risk country tayo.

mejmej41 · August 2017

@Xiaomau82 actually yun palang sana ang magiging first travel ko, sayang nga ih, naiisip ko what if mag HongKong muna ako for 2-3 days then reapply ako after 2 months, enough na kaya sa kanila yun?

Hi @mejmej41 ganyan din nangyari sa bestfriend ko but this happened 2 years ago..nung hndi pa available ang online application..yan din ang nasilip sa kanya at never pa syang nkapgtravel sa ibang bansa pero kaibahan nga lang matagal na sya sa work nya at single kc sya, only child at wlang anak kya sabi sa knya bka hndi na bumalik sa pinas kya na deny sya..lahat provided namin maski invitation and bank statement naming mag asawa dto na sasagot sa knya, na deny parin sya..hopefully iaaccept na sya this time kc nkapag travel narin sya ng HK, SG at cambodia after ma deny ung visa nya..she just passed her application yesterday at tinodo ko na ang evidence from our side dto..sa mga may bf/ partner na dto, mas linient sila kahit 1st time traveller ang applicant kahit hindi pa ngmmeet..katulad sa case ko dati, first time palang namin magkikita in person ng soon-to-be husband ko noon at never pako nkapgtravel sa ibang bansa pero na grant ako but this was 5 years ago..gano nga pla katagal inintay mo bago mo nalaman ang decision? online ka rin ba ngapply?

goodluck sa application mo and try nalang ulit ;-)

Hello, did anybody applied tourist visa in behalf of their friends?

regarding question:
#19 What is the purpose of your stay in your current location and what is
your visa status?

Since PH Citizen naman sya sa PH anong ilalagay dito?

Paano yung payment sa visa fee, pwede bang gamitin ang credit card namin in their behalf?

Please advise. Thanks

Hi @mariem I just applied for my best friend's visa 2 weeks ago and it was approved after a week (thank God!) lol!

Just put "I was born, grew up and currently working/ studying here as a citizen of the Philippines."

Yep, pedeng debit or credit card mo gamitin or even paypal..I used my debit card and lahat nman ng card and paypal mode of payment may small fee..ung sakin ay CBA at may extra fee of a $1 something lang nman..hope that helps..goodluck ;-)

Guys Patulong naman...nasa VFS biometric appointment na ko( actually may schedule na ko....tanong ko lang anong mga requirements dapat dalhin. Specially nandito sa Dubai nagprocess ng application or kahit saang bansa pareho lang naman siguro di ba subclass visa 600. Salamat

rosie_sg · August 2017

@docinco - sorry mgtatanong din ako sayo since nakapag biometric ka na dito sa Dubai. Anong dapat dalhin na mga documents pag nagpunta ka sa VFS center.

rojo87 · August 2017

rosie_sg · August 2017

@docinco- yap dinala ko na lang lahat para just in case. Yon nga ang hiningi lang nila letter from Immigration. Tas few minutes lang tapos na. Kamusta naman ang application mo?

rosie_sg · August 2017

Patulong naman...baka may nakaexperience nasa sa inyo dito. Plan ko kase uuwi muna ng pinas ng 10days kase halos ganun lang din ang ticket then saka mag-Australia tas balik dito sa Dubai. Wala ba yong hassle kung sakali.

mariem · August 2017

@Aiza05 Thanks for your reply. Still working on all docs to be attached.

Did you submitted a Form 956a Appointment or withdrawal of an authorised recipient? Since me and my husband naman ang mag-aapply for them through our immiaccount.

They already bought a ticket, which category did you attached it? Thanks

Shouldn’t be a problem. Mejo maluwag namn na sa immigration natin sa pinas.
