@lucid2010 hi! ask ko lang po.. si mama kasi 61 y/o na, wala naman high risk medical condition, only the usual high blood pressure and high cholesterol for seniors. we can put money on her account. unfortunately, she doesnt have any land title, car or anything she can provide to say thay she will be coming back to pinas. any suggestions what we can provide?
lucid2010Hong Kong Island Posts: 160Member Joined: Jan 07, 2016
@mahbi i suggest ilagay mo sa invitation letter mo how long she will stay sa Australia. Provide reserved ticket from Airline dates To and From para sure na uuwi sya ng pinas. State mo sa letter mo na "I will be inviting my Mother from these dates attached is her itinerary from this airline" I assure that she will just stay here for vacation to visit me and not overstay. Tpos lagay mo na ikaw ung magsusupport sa accomodation nya and other stuff . Kunan mo sya ng insurance while she stay sa AU? mejo may edad na kasi si mama for ur protection lng din . Okay lang kahit walang mga land title. Bank account mama okay na un tapos sana mapakita mo at least 3 months na pinapadalhan mo sya ng pera para malaman na nisusupport nyo sya sa pinas. And that uuwi pa din sya.

hello guys, nag apply ako TV last October 20, until now received status pa rin siya. I didn't attach the roundtrip ticket dahil hindi pa naman ako kumuha, I was also not able to attach travel history dahil hindi ko na mahanap yung old passport ko, kaka renew ko lang kasi ng passport this year.
caramel11Makati Posts: 13Member Joined: Jun 20, 2016
Ang na attached ko na travel history is travel Log ng PAL Mabuhay miles, although andun naman naka record yung travels ko outside the country. yung bank statement ko is screenshot lang ng online banking, although I was able to attached my credit card statement, hope ma approve ang TV, I heard na marami na a approved within 2-3 days, so hopefully ma approved din ako.
lucid2010Hong Kong Island Posts: 160Member Joined: Jan 07, 2016
wait mo lang up to 29 days ang approval time

@lucid2010 sobrang salamat sa reply... ask ko lang, will it matter ba kung yung tinutuluyan namen ngayon is family friend namen? we plan to relocate kasi pagdating ni mother.. kasi 3 weeks shutdown sa december... salamat ulit ah!
lucid2010Hong Kong Island Posts: 160Member Joined: Jan 07, 2016
okay lang un. kung ano ang nilagay nyo na tutuluyan dun sa pagapply nyo ng visa at naapprove ok na un. Pag permanently na kayo sa tutuluyan nyo update nyo lang ung circumstance altho ndi naman nagmamatter na din. Basta may TV na valid kahit saan state pwede na yan at kahit saan pa kayo stay enjoy

Hi po share ko lang yung ongoing application ko, i have a fiance who’s sponsoring my stay in AU, I am unemployed because i am the carer of his 3yr old australian daughter who’s currently with me here in PH, thus i’ll be travelling with his child once granted. I applied my tourist visa last Oct 19 thru VFS global makati and until now no results yet. I am nervous because i’ve read in the forum that there are denial of application for unemployed. Are there people here with same case? Thanks in advance.

@fi0na03 wow congrats ☺️ Thankyou for updating. Btw ilan days exactly bilang mo ma'am mula nung niloadge nyo application?
Hi guys! Hope someone can share advice or their similar experience. My boyfriend plans to visit me here in Sydney for 2 weeks, he's a photographer there in MNL. Under his employment, not sure if he should put that he's self-employed, then put the details of his studio? Kaso kasi hindi registered si studio, so he won't be able to present an ITR. He can provide a certificate saying he's a photographer for that studio (signed by his co-owner), but I'm not sure if that's enough. Or should he select "Others" then say he does freelance photography? He was actually able to ask for a certification from the studios he worked for (in addition to his studio), listing the shoots he had in the past, and also scheduled shoot for 2018. Or should he select both self-employed and others (freelance)? We have prepared docs for his application, natatakot lang ako na he'll get denied just because mali ideclare sa employment, so hopefully someone can help shed some light
These are the docs we've prepared so far: - Passport/travel history - Bank certificate (2 banks, savings over 100k) - For employer reference, certification from studios he worked for listing his past and scheduled shoots for 2018 - Property title - Wedding Invitation of a friend to be wed on Manila (additional proof that he needs to go back) - Concert tickets (since we're scheduled to watch a concert here haha) - Letter of invitation from me (I said that he's staying with me, we're attending a concert, date of a family event here that we're going to attend, I also said that I will go back to the PH with him since we're both attending the wedding) - My passport + NSW ID + driver's license - Proof of my visa (I'm a PR) - Tenancy agreement - Employment verification - Payslip - RT Plane Tickets (actually, we haven't bought yet, but I'm tempted for us to buy na lalo na may seat sale)
Thanks so much in advance!

Good day! Magtatanong lang po sana sa may idea. Kakabalik ko lang from Australia with 3months stay nung Oct. 27. Kelan po ako pwedeng magreapply ulit for another tv? Pero this time 12month multiple entry sana. At anong chance po na magrant ng 12months? TIA po sa lahat.
hi po, mag aaply po ako ng TV online. Kailangan pa ba ang cover letter? San ko iaatach. First time ko mag abroad. Ano po ibibigay ko na document para sa "Evidence of travel"?
MeeshaaMelbourne Posts: 28Member Joined: Nov 27, 2017
@mai13 hi... as of my experience I don’t remember I submitted a cover letter... magbasa basa ka muna online kung ano at pano gagawin mo. Evidence of travel, wala para sayo kasi sabi mo 1st time mo pa lang. just provide docs na kaya mong suportahan travel mo ngayon.
Hello guys!!! I just need a help about better understanding on tourist visa we lodged last Nov 24 ( online ). I created an application online myself and my kids. It was an individual application but there's a group ID attached to each of our reference app number. The problem is i got my grant noticed but my 2 kids is still on receive status. Is there any possibility that their application will be refuse? Im a bit worry because I will not leave without them, they are my dependents. I wanna hear experiences similar to mine and if the grant of kid(s) follow after like few days or weeks. We wanna catch cheaper airfare on or before xmas.Thanks heaps

@rojo87 hi... i had a quite similar experience with regards to tourist visa... try to call them and ask for update about your application for your kids.
@Meeshaa how to call them? I tried once and i was routed to a customer service in vfs manila? I had no chance to talk to any of the case officer.
MeeshaaMelbourne Posts: 28Member Joined: Nov 27, 2017
@rojo87 just follow instructions until you get the option of talking to the operator and when you do give them your application numbers or passport number ng anak mo and date kelan ka nag lodge.
