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

Xiaomau82 · March 2018

May nakarxperience ba applying for visit visa na finalised na ung application pero no attachment and correspondence din? I have applied for my niece, the system shows finalised but i dont know whether its approved or not. Has anyone experienced the same? May nakakaalam ba who and which email address to contact? Apparently, there is no case officer and i have only received the auto generated email for application received

@Xiaomau82 Please check sa left corner after pressing View Details kung may nakalagay na Grant Letter.

dee0829 · April 2018

Buti pa kayo

) Ang tipid magbigay ng Auckland consulate...

@Mia try apply online next time

Mia · April 2018

@dee0829 Online application naman din, and meron pa ngang biometrics dito so super hassle. Anyway, try namin mag-apply uli when we visit sa Pinas...

Ask ko lang. Is it easier to apply tourist visa the 2nd time? My first was granted just last november tapos nag stay ako for 2 weeks. Wanted to go back for a holiday in June. Will there be a problem? I just applied again this week.

cucci · April 2018

@orangenarwhal From watching Border Security Australia, I don't think there will be an issue... primarily, you complied naman with the conditions of the first grant, like you did not overstay or work during that 2 week visit.

orangenarwhal · April 2018

@cucci Thanks for replying! Yeah. just visited during the Christmas holidays. Kahit 2nd time ko na, I still feel anxious about my visa grant. Still waiting for it! Been checking my email like every 5 mins HAHA. I think I even put more documents than the first time I applied - like round trip tickets to Korea with my friends as proof of return.

cucci · April 2018

@orangenarwhal haha... same boat pala tayo... hubby and our babygirl applied last week kaya every now and then checking email and immi website...

Yey! Just received Notice of Grant for both of them.

orangenarwhal · April 2018

@cucci congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ilang days all in all yung processing? did you apply by post or online? via VFS ako dito eh - just because "boyfriend" is not on the list ng "What is your relationship to your sponsor?" sa online form. It's been a problem of many people here in the forums.

cucci · April 2018

@orangenarwhal Lodged online Mar 27 and got the grant Apr 6, that's 10 days including weekends and holidays... quite surprised because the posted estimated processing times was 20-31 days... relationship is 'de facto'...

Hi! Need your inputs po sana regarding my tourist visa application via Immiaccount. I have already submitted my application when I realized that I answered NO when asked whether or not I had visa refusal or cancellation before. I thought the question was only referring to Australia and not any other country. I was not granted Korean visa 4 years ago. So on that same day that I submitted my application, I filled out Form 1023 to correct the information given. Do you think this will affect the outcome of my application? I have been around 9 Asian countries in the last 6 years. I am working in the government now and have enough savings/show money in my bank certificate. Thanks in advance for your comments.

Just received my visa! multiple entry

. altho may problem. yung middle name ko sa grant, wrong spelling. pero when I checked VEVO hindi naman nakaindicate dun middle name ko. should I still call the attention of the embassy?

leadme · April 2018

Hello @orangenarwhal ! Congrats! Maybe email VFS? Mabilis naman sila magreply. Just to be sure. Ask ko lang, kailan ka nagpasa sa VFS Manila? Naghihintay pa rin kasi kami up until now. Thanks!

orangenarwhal · April 2018

@leadme hi! April 2 ako nag pass. huhu. 3 weeks ako nag hintay. dati 1 week lang.

2nd ko na to eh.

jojoyjm · April 2018

Hello po! 2nd time ko na mag-aapply for tourist visa, first time was last year. Question po doon sa part ng family composition (form 54), pwede kahit sino yung mag-sign as witness?

Last year kasi parang wala etong requirement na 'to. Thank you in advance po.

leadme · April 2018

@orangenarwhal kami rin, yung iba sa amin 2nd time na rin at wala pa rin kami. Mag 3 weeks kami next week. Hopefully granted.

@jojoyjm hi! Hindi kami nagsubmit ng form na yan. Nasa requirements ba yan? VFS kami.

leadme · April 2018

@jojoyjm kasi hindi naman kami hiningan ng ganyan ng VFS nung chineck nila documents namin. Meron din ata kasing same information na hiningi sa paper application form.

jojoyjm · April 2018

@leadme sa immiaccount po ako. Last year kasi dun na din ako nag-apply granted naman and mas madali. Kaya medyo conuse lang ako bakit kasama na yung ganitong requirements.

jojoyjm · April 2018

Actually yung Family Composition under ng recommended not required
:-/

leadme · April 2018

@jojoyjm ah ok ok, siguro i-accomplish mo na lang din para sigurado. Not sure though who qualifies as a witness. Better have it signed by a notary public.

dee0829 · April 2018

@jojoyjm yung family composition, I just attached birth certificates.

juanmigueldejesus · April 2018

Hi, Has anyone recently lodged an online application and how long it took to have a decision? The current processing time posted in Home Affairs webiste is 17-31 days. I just lodged mine yesterday and hoping (cross-fingers) to get a decision before 15th May.
