@princessrhej or your agent didnt submit at all? can you ask for the acknowledgement letter from your agent please?

princessrhej · March 2019

Na.submit naman nya agad kac nag.email sya samin. Nag.agent kami kac will be applying for a spouse visa right after then just to make sure lng na may guidance kami kac di masyado madali yung spouse visa unlike dun sa skilled independent visa na inapply ko dati.

dee0829 · March 2019

princessrhej · March 2019

She said na may na.process na din dw sya na more than 1month.

@princessrhej
did you received an email with subject "IMMI Acknowledgement of Application Received"?
or was the email you mentioned was directly from your agent?

@princessrhej Visitor Visa (600) ba yung ni lodge nyo? I had mine approved after a week lang.

BrizyFilo · April 2019

It only take 3 working days sa Sister ko at na grant din Visitor visa 600. Hindi siya nag agent. DIY lang/

Tsunade · April 2019

Hi. Ask ko lang po. Kaka submit ko lang ng application ko for tourist visa,but Im planning to take a 2 week medical leave habang nag pprocess,iveverify ba ng embassy sa work ko if naka medical leave ako or ivverify lang naman if employed ako sa company? Thank you

@Tsunade I doubt if they even do the verification. Random siguro for audit purposes. Sa experience ko dito they put greater emphasis on what you put and sign in your application as a legal document. If later on it is discovered that you misrepresented something in a document that you signed, it will come back to you.

Besides, wala naman pong issue if you go on medical leave to process your papers. That would be an issue between you and your company if they chose to make it so.

gudeve po, ask ko lang pag po ba ganito

date grant 16 may 2019

1 year pong visa grant to di ba?ty

tska po meron ba ditong nag exit lang lets say sa malaysia or singapore then enter ulit ng autsralia after 2 days..nag iisip kasi ako bka ma question ako ng immig kung bakit la ako return ticket mula malyasia to phil..balak ko kasi gold coast na lang tpos to malaysia.

maraming salamat po

cucci · May 2019

@vanessajoy Yes, visa is valid for 1 year with a maximum of 3 months stay per visit. Regarding a short exit tapos balik agad, technically, pwede... pero pwede kang maharang sa immigration at kailangan mong patunayan na "valid tourism" activity ang pagbabalik mo.

hi @cucci

Have you ever met or read about someone who applied for PR while on a tourist visa? Sounds crazy but I haven't really thought of it before.

Like currently on a 1 year TV, eoi was applied offshore, invited offshore, flew to AU then lodged PR. Possible?

cucci · May 2019

@dy3p Been waiting for someone to post an experience like that. Visitor (600) to 457, yes, because that's what happened to me.

Since there seems to be no restriction about lodging a PR visa (186, 189, 190) onshore, nor expressed conditions on Visitor visa holders not to lodge a permanent visa while onshore, I think it is possible. I have read some posts that prospective marriage visas need that the applicant be outside Au at the time of grant, as such informs applicants who are onshore to exit.

Also, when I was on visitor visa and applied for 457 while onshore, a BVA without work rights was issued, but I was able to request work rights by applying and submitting proof of financial hardship. I guess, the same can happen to a visitor visa holder applying for PR visa onshore.

Just to be clear, this is not dogma... just sharing my thoughts.

dy3p · May 2019

@cucci Thanks. Were you given the working rights after applying for financial hardship?

vanessajoy · May 2019

@cucci thanks cucci, so mga ideally balik ako after a week or 2 weeks or 1 month?

cucci · May 2019

@dy3p Nope... they approved my 457... hehe.

cucci · May 2019

@vanessajoy As long as your entry is a valid tourism activity, you can come back anytime during the validity of your visa but you may stopped and questioned by immigration and asked to provide proof.

vanessajoy · May 2019

@cucci, thank you very much.bbisitahin ko ulit ung jowa ko. kung matanong ako ano kaya pwdng proof na ipakita ko?ty

may number po b kau ng immigration dito?kasi sinubukan kotwagan ung nsa website nla using my phone pero nag ca call ended lang xa.pls help

cucci · May 2019

@vanessajoy Since it is a social visit, kung tanungin just tell the immigration officer the reason... pag may doubt sila tatawagan naman si bf to confirm your story. At least yan napapanood ko sa Border Security tv show.

Ang iniiwasan kasi ay yung mga naka-visitor visa at nagtatrabaho ka kaya exit at bumalik agad kasi matatapos na ang 3 months max stay per visit.

vanessajoy · May 2019

@cucci thank you very much

Godbless you

great help

kimpoy · May 2019

Good day po. Hingi po sana kami ng advise regarding sa future trip namin to AU this Aug 2019

1. May pending Visa 489 application kami lodged Dec 2018 (till now wala pang reply).
2. Plan namin kumuha ulit ng tourist visa kasi wala pang outcome yung visa489 namin.

Mizai01 · May 2019

Hi, tanong ko lang kung may nakakaalam dito kung possible ba magwork for ph employer while I'm on tourist visa in au? Parang nagwork from home lang ako if ever.
Salamat sa makakapagshare ng experiences.

AkawntantAnne · June 2019

Pls I need your help po. Nag online po ako ng TV then may question na ganito..

Does the applicant know the dates of entry for each occasion after first entry to Australia? Yes or No?

Ano po ilalagay dito?

Salamat

Admin · June 2019

@Mizai01 is your employer in AU?

dee0829 · June 2019

@AkawntantAnne i'd No.

cucci · June 2019

@AkawntantAnne If I understood correctly, this question is relevant if you intend to apply for a long term visitor visa. Like if you intend to go back after the initial 3 months or if applying for more than the regular 3 months to 1 year validity. As such, you are being asked about the significant dates that you intend to enter Au again. If you don't intend to re-enter after the initial three months or you are not sure a NO answer would suffice.

Mizai01 · June 2019

@Admin ph po employer ko though affiliated sa au company. Payroll ko ph pa rin.

AkawntantAnne · June 2019

@cucci thanks!

Hi everyone! I need help po. How can I follow up the visit visa of my daughter. I lodged May 16, but until now no response parin po. Thanks for your responses.

joethemobile · June 2019

Ask ko lang, I currently have Tourist Visa (multiple entry) and travelling to Australia ngaun friday however, may pending Student Visa application ako (waiting for decision nalang), okay lang ba un papasok ng Australia using Tourist Visa (valid pa naman until oct 2019 and may return ticket to philippines din ako if ever di ma approve student visa)?

Enrolled na ako sa University, naka pag book kasi ako ng ticket way way back before ako nag plan na mag school.

Walang "NO FURTHER STAY" sa VISA conditions ko as Tourist.
