Tourist Visa

wakka · June 2017

ask lang po malaki po ba chance if mag stay ako sa AUS for about 2 months, then mag apply ako for work? may mga company ba na willing to give us working visa kahit visit visa lang hawak for now? salamat po sa mga sasagot!

Good morning everyone

Question po, may nakapag apply na ba sa inyo ng Tourist Visa with a stay period of 6 months?

Kapag po ba 6 months ang pinili, required po ba mag undergo ng medical exam?

Thanks in advance

@peach17 Wala pong medical ang tourist. health declaration lang. honesty lang.... maluwag sila pag tourist at business.

@wakka slim to impossible chance. companies are strict when it comes to employ people on visit visa. you can try though. yet its risky.

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!

paano po yung health declaration? 1 week lang naman po ang pag stay ko sa aussie if ever ma approved.
ibang part ba sya ng sinasagutan sa immi account?
saan po na-aacess yun?

ang isa ko pang problem ung itenerary.
sa december pa kasi ang plano ko magbakasyon. pero ngayon palang nag ttry nko mag apply. to be honest ang papasyalan namin dun ung mga scenic spot na halos wala ka babayadan pasyal lang tlaga at kain sa mga resto at konting shopping lang.

i need to write reason bakit wla akong attachment sa "Planned Activities/itenerary" help naman po. anu pwde ko i-reason?
(kabado ako at first time)

Hello.. ask ko lang po baka meron may alam dito....

nag lodge po ako ng application for Student Visa last July 18, then August 1st week pa ako nakapagpa medical. Until now still waiting pa din po, which is okay pa naman kasi di pa naman po nare-reach yung maximum processing time.

Pero okay lang po ba mag apply ng Tourist Visa while waiting for my Student Visa?

@axlrose hi. Sorry to interrupt with you. But regards to your answer. Does it mean ba na pag granted ka ng multiple entry allowed ka to re-enter Australia kahit ilan beses as long as di lalagpas ng 3mos and hindi lalagpas sa date na provided bg immigration? Thanks

marchbaby · December 2017

Good day po. Ask ko lang po. Plan ng bf ko magvisit sa Aus probably mid next year. bago lang po kami. may pera ako sa bank na pwede ko transfer sa knya or open a joint. PHP200k. uNDER Student Visa po ako- nominated sponsor is my aunt. Pwede bang si tita ko rin(aus Citizen) ang magsend sa bf ko ng letter of invitation and sponsorshipo? btw may fulltime job po siya sa Pinas and genuine visit lang po talaga sya for a week. Salamat po sa makakapagbigay ng idea.

@batman Ask ko lang if pede makapag-apply for bridging if the visa is visitor Class FA, conditions are 8101-no work and 8201-max 3 mos study? Since it is not specifically stated the 'no further stay' imposition to the visa. Any advise? Salamat much

batman · January 2018

@athan2017 sorry about extension ng visit visa or bridging di ko aware about e. pero per my understanding kong initial entry mo is for visit purpose lang at hindi for longer stay i dont think pede ka extend kasi in the first instance dapat clear ka na ng intention mo na short stay lang otherwise you should have applied for a different type of visa. just my thought.

Bridging Visa is only issued when you are applying for another visa for you to remain lawful while waiting for the new visa result. In your case on a tourist visa, once you lodge another visa application( not an extension of a tourist visa), a bridging visa is automatically generated and will only take effect once your tourist visa expires and the new visa application hasn't been decided yet. If your purpose is to come and look for work hoping that someone will sponsor you for a work visa, i guess the possibility is very small. Employers will not entertain your application if they found out that you are on a tourist visa unless na siguro kung very impressive ang credentials mo and they cannot find any locally. If you are qualified to apply for a migrant visa, you can come on a tourist visa and apply here but why not apply in Ph and live and work indefinitely in Au once the visa is granted. Baka maging issue pa later na you originally intended to come on holiday and here you are looking for work.

@batman and @fgs I really appreciate all your advise

Hi, share ko lang po yong experience ko when I applied for tourist visa last Friday (Feb2) and granted nong Monday(Feb) agad. One working day lang po yong processing sakin and multiple entries po sya.

About sa mga requirements po, I think the more the better and big chance na Ma grant agad. Basta submit lang lahat Ng docs na nakalagay sa checklist nila and may intention kang bumalik sa country of residence mo.

Btw, I applied it online and thank God talaga ang bilis ng approval.

callmejeje · February 2018

Hi guys, does anyone working here in upwork (homebased job). What did you provide to grant for tv? Thanks!

dee0829 · February 2018

@callmejeje sis ko bale nag submit lang sya ng statement of acct then booking iti to oz

dee0829 · February 2018

Hello may malaking chance ba na maggrant nga tourista visa 600 kung iinvite ko aunt ko to oz? Ako na ang magapply thru immi acct. pls advise? Thanks

wondergari · February 2018

@dee0829 yes, malaki ang chance. Just attach an invitation letter from her sa application mo as well as both of your bank statements and payslips if possible or kahit yung sayo lang if enough na. It also helps if you will include title deed, cartificate of employment, etc

simple_lady · February 2018

dee0829 · February 2018

@simple_lady Do you mean TRN? Transaction Reference Number? you can check through VEVO:

simple_lady · February 2018

simple_lady · February 2018

nung triny ko pala sa vivo invalid xa walang lumalabas i dont know kung trn tlga dapat ilagay wala kasi akong makitang trn # don sa papel.

simple_lady · February 2018

vfs manila already replied but unfortunately they refer me naman to email the immigration.Is there anyone here po ba pwede magsend ng sample decision received lodge last year? I just want to compare don sa paper na binigay sakin kahit pahide po personal details.mukhang mahirap magverify.thank u po...pwede ko din po pala send dito un paper baka may mcheck nto if legit or hindi.may barcode po ba un sa taas kasi ung akin wala.

MorenangPinay · February 2018

@simple_lady , tama si @dee0829 check through VEVO.. You should just apply online by yourself, it’s easy and fast. As long as you provide as much documents as you can if you are applying for tourist visa. The more documents or proof that you have strong ties to your country of residence the better chances you have to get your visa application approved.

lashes · February 2018

Hello po
Tanong lang po if u apply visa600 need pa bang mag bio metrics? If applying from PH? Kasi yung saken from Sg nagbiometrics ako i apply ko sana sister ko.
Not sure if i need to use new immi accnt for her tapos need nya mag biometrics.

Also ilang days po ang processing from submission to approval?

ishtar · February 2018

Hi! Currently I filed my resignation already pero magrender pako ng 30days. Pag nagapply po ba ako ng visa 600 magging problem po ba un sa employment status ko? Mattrace ba nila na resignee nako? Although I got recent COE naman. Hope someone may give an advice. Thank you!
