Ask ko lang po, i am currently in Macau and apply subclass 600 visa through Immiaccount base in Hongkong. It says Finalised pero I haven't receive any spam msg or grant visa through my immiaccount.
I try contacting na ata lahat pero kasi via email lahat no direct call or anything.
Can anyone help me? Or had this experience?
Kasi its more than a month na, i submitted it nung March 22 2018 and says finalised on April 6 2018.
Thank you po ☺️

First time to file it online before via VFS kami or manual. It took us 30days in manual application bago dumating ang grant. Sa Online 17-29 days nakalagay na processing times. Hopefully, ma approve ang sister ko:)

1. Ask ko lang po if mas ok ba yung plane ticket na bilhin ko eh sa karatig bansa muna natin, like SG or KL. Di ko kasi alam if mahigpit IO ng Cebu pag ang ticket mo ay papuntang AU agad.
2. Malalaman ba ng IO kung nagrant ka ng tourist visa sa isang bansa kahit di mo i-declare? Not sure if meron silang access sa ganung information. Gusto ko lang po kasi maghanda in case interviewhin pa sa immigration.

Please excuse my ignorance and hindi ako sure if naitanong na to dito.
Question:
First time ko mag-apply ng year-long tourist visa for my brother. He was granted a visa today and I'm not quite sure about the duration "length of stay: 3 months from the date of each arrival"...that means ba na 3 months max lang sya pede mgstay then he needs to exit then he can just return here anytime in a year? For those na naka experience with this kind of visa, can u kindly share what u did after 3 months? Like do u have to go back to Phils.then after 2 days balik na dito etc. Thanks in advance! :-)

@chyrstheen , nung nag-apply kasi ako ng au visa, meron pa ako work. tapos nagresign ako a month later. Ayun na nga, hinarang ako ng IO sa Pinas. Di daw sapat na may enough travel funds, kelangan proof of ties to PH - like job or business. Nakipag-reason ako sa kanya at buti na lang pinagbigyan nya ako. Ngayon, nasa labas na ako ng ph pero paalis pa lang ako for au.
May tanong sana akong immigration related. PM nyo naman ako pls kung meron maalam dito abt this, para private na lang yung convo. Salamat po in advance.

I work from home with Australian employers for about a year now. They are planning to take us to Melbourne for a week by September or October. If they will sponsor the visa, do we have to submit bank details po? I'm worried kasi we don't have enough savings now due to personal reasons but I have travelled na din po to several asian countries including japan. And if walang bank certificate may chance po kaya ma approve yung visa?
