@batman when is the best time to process via if by the end of august ang travel?

batman · October 2018

@reena_june24 you can calculate, cost of hotel, kong may shopping ka pa, food mo, transport cost etc. depends sa itinerary mo. we applied our 6 months befoe the travel kasi may plan b kami na ibang bansa if in case di ma approve AU.

Hays. 31 days na nakakaraan, wala paring update sa visa application ng lola ko. Ano kaya nangyari? Wala namang further requirements.

batman · November 2018

@deaddisco hindi nag ask ng medical? how old si Lola?

deaddisco · November 2018

@batman No eh/ She's only 73. I think pag 75 ata mag aask ng Medical. Gah. This worries me. Sana naman may email na denied sia hindi yung nagaanta kami sa wala. Ano kaya nangyari? I sent them an email for a follow up but wala paring reply.

Good morning po! We just arrived 2 mos ago dito sa Oz. Would like to ask for help po
sana on how to secure a Tv for my Mother & Sister using my own immi account, may mga forms po kase and it’s quite confusing since it’s my first time po. If I am applying on their behalf po, ano po ba duon sa mga forms ang dapat ko fill up? Salamat po in advance.

I noticed po na yung email address ng employer ko sa visa application ko is mali. Can I still correct it pa kaya? Typographical Error lang naman sya.

Hi,

Question po, I wam trying to apply for Tourist Visa and an officer sent me an email today with this message:

A) Please upload the following documents.
- For self-employed applicant, please provide copy of business profile
- For employee, please provide employment letter indicating relevant employment details and leave approval for the intended trip (not work contract, leave application or email)

She asked me to upload within 3 days from the email.

My question is I already uploaded yung Certificate of Employment ko with Job Description position and all. Iba pa po ba yung Employment Letter? I can understand sa leave approval na hindi ako nagsubmit but I don't understand po yung sa Employment Letter.. Thanks!

Hello, may nakapag-apply po ba dito ng tourist visa successfully with less than 50k sa bank account?

Thank you po sa sasagot.

snuffbox · February 2019

I have a question po. My family wanted to apply for a tourist visa. Need po bang gumawa kami ng immig account individually? The group consist of me my wife and my 2 kids which are minor at the moment. Thank you in advance.

snuffbox · February 2019

Additional question po pala. Anyone encountered this scenario? di kasi lumilitaw Philippines para office, hanggang china lang lumilitaw. Thanks po ulit.

Hello everyone! just a few questions. I'm applying for a tourist visa for my mom. She actually had a previous tourist visa, one year, multiple entry (expired last Aug 2018). Here are my questions:

1. Part of the recommended documents was an Evidence of Family Composition. How did you supply this one? When we applied before, it was not part of the recommended documents. (And since it is just recommended, would it be fine to skip it?)
2. I am on student visa. The reason why she's applying is to accompany me on my first few weeks in Australia so I can settle. Where should this one be declared? Kasi hindi naman ako part nung not coming to Australia, or should I indicate it on persons travelling with her?)

Thank you very much.

Hello everyone. Hope someone can share their experience with regards to IO from ph. My husband has resigned from his job. Tatanungin pa ba cya ng IO about his job? I remember meron departure slip na ibibigay sa knila which is may tanung dun about work/occupation. Employed si husband nun nag apply sya ng tv nya then ngayun nag resign na cya pra ma maximise namin ung visa nya. My husband was granted multiple entry visa for 1yr sc600. Sana meron mkasagot po sainyo. Thank you in advance!

1. its better to include this, just download the form and fillout
2. there's a question on dates that the applicant must be on australia, you can mention the dates that your mom will assist you and state a brief reason.

Captain_A · February 2019

@ozsome in my knowledge and exp from my family visiting, IO from ph will not asked for any employment docs, your hubby just need to show the visa grant and return tickets,it should be fine.

snuffbox · February 2019

@Captain_A thank you so much. Already filed my visa this february 14 and hoping for a positive response from the officer.

Captain_A · February 2019

@snuffbox late n pla reply ko, hehehe
anyway, all the best.

snuffbox · February 2019

Di ko lang alam ilagay na docs para sa mga kids ko for financial capacity. Wala pa sila accounts eh.

swish19 · February 2019

anyone already applied before for a relative sponsor visa na nasa labas pa ng AU? Di pa nagbBM but planning to bring along relative to help sa pagalaga ng bata for a while. Since wala pa AU address paano kaya application? unemployed ang relative btw. TIA!

amari0527 · February 2019

Hi, ask ko lang po, balak ko mag apply ng tourist visa this may.

1. Wala po bang magiging problema kung ako lang mag isa ang pupunta ng australia at di kasama ang asawa at anak ko?
2. Wala po akong savings account pero may salary card po ako. ok lang ba ung bank statement ng asawa ko ung gamitin ko?
3. If magrant po ako ng TV, pwede po ba akong pumunta ng australia by August? Ilang months po ba ung usual na validity ng na grant na ng TV?

thank you in advance.

amari0527 · February 2019

Hi po sir @batman. nabasa ko kasi tong convo nyo. same case kasi kami kaso ang sakin balak namin is ako lang ung magaapply ng TV. May bank statement naman ako kaso maliit lang kasi sahod ko so balak ko isama ung bank statement ng asawa ko. wala bang magiging problema dun?

snuffbox · February 2019

@amari0527 different po ata case nyo maam. Mukhang mahihirapan if ikaw lang mag TV. Better get a family TV. Kasi magtata ka CO if ikaw lang aalis. Too doubtful that your just the only one going to tour. Mabilis sila mag grant if complete papers. Just follow the steps here and you won't go wrong. Our TV was granted 7 days lang
