How to Apply Online for an Australian Tourist Visa - Step By Step Guide

wondergari · February 2018

@MissAussie Hello! Yes, okay lang yung proof of funds from your relatives. Indicate mo lang din yun sa application mo sa part na hinihingi yung source of funds na willing sila to support you

MissAussie · February 2018

@wondergari thank you! Done na ako ng medical ko nung Monday sa st. Lukes, advisable na bang maglodge ng visa or antayin ko na lang maforward nila to embassy? Thank you

simple_lady · February 2018

hello po newbie here.would like to seek some help with regards to my tourist visa application.upon application po kasi sa online forn on immi account may questions don na:
*HAS THE APPLICANT PREV.TRAVELLED TO AU OR PREV.APPLIED FOR A VISA?
*HAS THE APPLICANT EVER HAD A VISA FOR AU OR ANY OTHER COUNTRY REFUSED OR CANCELLED?
now my dilemma po is nag engage kami early last year ng asawa ko sa isang "agent"bale tao lang xa pra mag-asikaso tourist visa namin.nagtiwala kami ng sobra kasi that time wala pa kami idea about online application and pano process giving her all docs she requires and ung full payment.hindi ganon ka transparent ung nangyari kasi sabi nya sya na bahala sa lahat and wait nalang limanas result till dumating ung result and sabi "denied"daw application namin hiningan namin xa ng proof pero ang napakita nya lang na papel is d ko sure f legit kasi walang sealed or mismong stamp na galing sa embassy hanggang sa di na namin xa makontak.

question ko po is gusto kong sagutan ng "NO" ung question sa taas kasi malakas loob ko na d nya tlga na file and niloko lang nya kami pero worry ko what if nafile naman tlga nya and denied tlga.makakaapekto po kaya kung iba ang sagot ko versus record ng embassy?ano po kaya maganda gawin?hoping to hear all your insights reg.my concern.thank u and god bless

@MissAussie yung sa Uncle ko, yung case officer mismo ang nagrequire sa kanila for medical kaya after medical wala na silang ginawa sa application nila, naghintay na lang sila ng result. Sa case mo na inuna yung medical, hindi ko lang alam. Required ba ang medical sayo?

wondergari · February 2018

@simple_lady Since kahit isagot mo ay YES sa questions with regards to previously applying for a visa, wala pa din mapapakitang proof or anything, better apply as a first timer. Pwede ka din tumawag sa VFS Global, nag-eentertain sila ng questions kahit hindi ka sa kanila nag-apply for the visa.

sweet_lady · February 2018

hi @wondergari.yes tumawag po ako sa vfs kaya lang wala na silang makitang record last year forwarded na daw kay immigration then nag email naman ako kay immigration may auto reply na hindi nila maaaccomodate for the meantime due to number of enquiries.may big effect ba if i put NO then may record naman pala pr d ganon ka big deal.please help po.

thank you po.

Walang makakasagot sa mga ganyang tanong. You better apply and find out. If valid naman reason mo and based on what you mentioned, i guess you have a big chance to get approved. I guess it more appropriate to apply under Business Stream Tourist Visa

wondergari · March 2018

@sweet_lady but the problem is whether you answer yes or no, wala pa din mabibigay na proof. Hindi naman magmamatter basta pakita lang na merong sufficient funds at babalik talaga ng PH after. Give them a good reason or the purpose for your travel, yun naman mahalaga

sweet_lady · March 2018

hi po ask ko lang f normal na may request ng health assessment sa immi account for tourist visa 6 months lang request and no medical history 30 years old palang.please see attached po.ang alam ko po kasi walang medical pagtourist pag 6 months lang.magkano po kaya?thanks po sa magbigay ng info.

sweet_lady · March 2018

@wondergari thanks for the advice.luckily nagreply na si immigration kaya ok na ung problem ko about that.

Heprex · March 2018

@sweet_lady pag more than 3 months stay ata, need ng medical. Not sure kung san ko nabasa to. Since 6 months request mo, baka need.

hello,

pls advise:

situation is i applied for my mother first but the original plan is that i want to invite both my mom and aunt to oz. pero inuna ko muna ang mom ko applyan para sure.

my question is ang nilagay ko as answer sa question na ito is NO

Are there any other persons travelling with the applicant to Australia? (Family members who want to
travel to Australia with the applicant must lodge separate visa applications. They cannot be included
in this application.)

then na grant na po is ok.

next is my aunt na, so gusto ko ilagay sa question is YES. did it sound fraud? or will this cause a redflag sa immig?

can you advise me pls. thanks.

Pag tinanong ka ng CO then just answer na nagchange ang plan. I doubt di na yan tatanungin. In my case 3TVs na YES ang sinagot ko don sa tanong na Is there any member of the family not travelling with you? kasi di sasama yong isa at nakalagay pa name nya don as not travelling family member. then after approval nung tatlo, nagbago ang plan na sasama na lang at inaplayan ko nga ng visa ang isa at wala naman prob

cucci · March 2018

@dee0829 Will you be inviting/sponsoring your aunt too? I think that the question is relevant if you will be submitting their visa application together, but since that of your mom is already granted I don't really see any problem, however, your personal funds must show that you will be able to support both of them during their visit.

Now, if your aunt can show some personal financial documents and properties as proof that she has ties to the Philippines for her not to break the terms of her visa grant, then there should be no problem.

Just my 2 cents...

dee0829 · March 2018

thanks @cucci and @fgs for your input. xx

tots · March 2018

thanks guys was able to be granted 1 year travel visa!!

mrsespejo · March 2018

is it possible na mag apply for extension from tourist stream to business stream? thanks!

lashes · March 2018

Sa nag apply po ng tv for minor nag attached po ba kayo ng form 1257 kahit travelling naman ang both parents sa child?

cucci · March 2018

@lashes From the instruction, no need na po.

Who should use this form?
This form is to be completed by the person (21 years or older)
who has been nominated by parent(s) or legal guardian(s) to be
responsible for a child/children (under 18 years of age) who:
• intend to stay in Australia; and
• whose stay will not be in the company of one, or both of
his/her parent(s) or legal guardian(s); and
• who will not be staying with a relative; and
• who is not a member of an organised tour providing adequate
maintenance and support arrangements for their stay in
Australia.

lashes · March 2018

@cucci thanks po, form is required 1229 pede po bang hindi hand written pen ang gamitin dito? Na eedit po kasi ang pdf form then e-sign may issues po kaya dito?

lashes · March 2018

@rojo87 hello ask ko lang po if may hiniging form for minor? Kasi yung sa case po namin approved na lahat in 1 working pero pending yung sa minor. Ano kayang kulang hindi ako nag attached ng form1257 kasi travelling naman both parents.ang mga form nyo po ba is handwritten like form 1229?naka required po kasi siya sa attached docs.tia

rojo87 · March 2018

Antayin mo lang sis gnyan den sakin. Nauna yung app ko tapos after 5 working days na grant na yung Visa ng anak ko.

Marcbehm · March 2018

Ask ko lang po about our tourist visit kasama ko anak na 1 year old kaya lang nag eerror siya sa 4/20. Ito po ang sabi "Based on the entered passport details, applicant Maria Astrid Miranda is not eligible to apply for this visa using this online service. Ensure the passport details have been entered exactly as they appear in the applicant's passport. The applicant will not be able to continue and should review the eligibility information on our website."
Pero tama naman po lahat ng details. Kailangan pa po ba talaga ng visa ang 1 year old kong anak ?

batman · March 2018

@Marcbehm yes all that are travelling to AU dapat meron visa. baka internet connection lang error. or medyo matagal kang idle. try mo ulit.

dee0829 · March 2018

@Marcbehm hello, nagawa ko to dati. kasi dapat 0-zero nailagay ko na letter O. check nalang ulit po. baka na wrong lang ng input yung mga digits sa passport
