Visitor Visa for My Girlfriend In The Philippines

jbhamto · November 2018

Magandang araw mga Kabayan!

Nagpaplano kami ng aking girlfriend para sa kanyang Visitor Visa at target naming i-lodge this 1st week of December.

Na-grant ang visa ko na TSS 482 (Previously PR 457) Medium Term at may contract sa company ng up to 4 years.

Halos kumpleto na ang mga documents at may ilang concerns lang ako bago iattach ang mga kulang. Makitulungan naman po ako na masagot ito:

1st, pwede po bang i-state sa Evidence of Planned Tourism Activities in Australia na one month stay lang siya magstay (para di hanapan ng malaking funds sa bank) pero kung maapproved ang visa she'll stay here up to 3 months?

2nd, di po ba after ang Australian Government sa actual return flight at mas magprefer sa consistency ng documents na iattached like invitation from me me at financial status/funds for visit?

3rd, medyo mahirapan ang girlfriend ko to get her ITR mula sa previous employer niya.
Malaki ba maging effect sa approval ng visa kung di maiattach ang documents na ito?

Maraming salamat po sa pagbasa at sa magiging advice niyo po sa amin.
God bless.

Hi @jbhamto, here’s my own inputs for your concern as per my experience.

1. Doesn’t matter the timespan for your itinerary. Basta make sure to state specific places on where youre planning to go to. Na parang magiging tourist talaga yung gf mo ng Australia. Also you can state there na you’ll be visiting friends or families.

2. No need to buy the ticket upon application of the visa. If you will be the sponsor, aside from the invitation letter wherein youll state there na youll be shouldering all her expenses during her stay, you will also be required to provide financial/supporting documents such as banks statements or payslips.

3. Is she going to resign from work or just file a long leave? If she will be resigning, no need to attach any employment background as long as you will be the sponsor, but if she will just take a leave, she will be needing the letter from her company approving her leave.

Hi @kazelcee.
First of all, maraming salamat sa pagsagot ng mga concerns ko.
Napaka-helpful ng mga sagot mo.

1. Well noted. It's included on my invitation at inespecify ko din.
2. Inattached ko din ang mga supporting docs na kailangan para mas matibay ang invi.
3. Mag-file siya ng leave, hopefully maapproved ang VL niya.

God bless and have a great day!

@jbhamto Just noting that unlike @kazelcee said you are not a sponsor. You're only inviting your girlfriend kasi technically with your visa status you cannot sponsor.

Make sure Subclass 600 na tourism stream ang applyan niyo at baka magkamali pa...

Same case here. Planning to apply for tourist visa my bf holds 482 visa as well. I am employed but planning to resign soon. Pero if maglodge ako ng application ko na hindi pa ako actually resigned, magatach pa po ba ako ng employment docs or magapply ako as if unemployed and maglagay nalang na to be sponsored ako ng boyfriend ko. May treshold p or salary range na need masatisfy ng bf ko para makapagsponsor sya? or anyone there can sponsor? Or magkano kaya dapat na nasa bank accpunt ng bf ko para convincing na he can afford to sponsor me? Aside sa sponsorship docs, ano pa po pwd ko ilagay ba proof? contract to sell ng house pwde po b yun? Thank you so much

Tama si @Mia, only PR and citizen can be a sponsor for a family sponsored visa 600. Your BF can only provide an invitation letter with employment support but this is not a guarantee na maaapprove ang visa. There are 2 types of Visa 600, isa non is the family sponsored( might ask for a bond) and yong regular TV600. Dont mention na magreresign ka na sa work, apply as if employed pa. There is no published amount ng pera na nasa bank ng bf mo. A stable job will do but it all depends sa circumstances mo not him. If you are planning to stay here indifinitely with him, kailangan applyan ka din ng 482 visa as a defacto.

Thank you @fgs. Bale regular tv600 po ang applyan ko? Invitation letter lng po and employment docs no bf ang need? Ang prob ko po
if magapply ako as employed, hindi ako nkakapagprovide ng doc na approved ang leave ko kasi hindi papayagan ng company kaya po I am resigning. Planning din na magapply as subsequent entrant kaso nagiipon p ng proof, and we think na makakahelp if makapag tourist visa muna ako doon.

Yan lang mahirap mga employers sa atin..sumbit ka na lang ng payslips, not necessary na approved leave. Wag mo imention na nagresign ka na kasi magkakaroon ng negative connotatiob sa intention mo na visit lang..any latest payslip will do at bank statements na makikita na may pumapasok na sweldo

Pahelp naman po.. Anong visa po ba ang pwede sa mother ko.. gusto ko syang kuhanin para mag tourist dito sa au.. I'm on a 457 visa that will expire on 2021.. Wala syang bank account sa pinas, can I say I will fund her travel or need nya may bank account na ipakita?

udonggo · October 2019

vanessajoy · October 2019

My sponsor for the TV I have now is my BF (Australian citizen), we want to have longer time pa sna before getting married so i'm thinking of applying for the extension then after that extension, will apply for Prospective marriage.
thank you very much
