491 Visa Application

donjose · August 2021

Expired na medical namin ng pamilya ko naka one year na di pa rin open ang application ng visa center sa Pinas. Na eexpired na lahat ng mga docs namin para sa 491 visa application. Sayang ang ginastos..

I feel u. I been waiting for 20 months. Received parin. Just hoping and praying na maging okay na lahat. On the bright side, okay parin na hindi ka na gagrant pa, since temp skilled visa cant enter Australia kahit magrant pa. So kung magrant ka ng hindi pa sila nagpapasok. Tumatakbo yung time mo, and u need at least 2 years na stay in Australia para maging PR. Kapit lang tayu. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Nung naapprove kami ng 491 nung May 2021 expired na yung medical namin. Akala ko nga din maguulit kami. Pray lang tayo. Hoping na yung CO iapprove na nila agad.

sponsorship depends on several factors. as far as I know dapat first level uncle like kapatid ng either mother or father mo

@nutzagi26 nasagot na po ni @rellim115 yung tanong nyo po.

Pero kung naguguluhan pa po kayo eto po yung link.

https://liveinmelbourne.vic.gov.au/migrate/skilled-migration-visas/registration-of-interest-for-victorian-state-visa-nomination

Pero sa Victoria po yan.

DIY lang po ako sa lahat. Basa basa lang sa website. Ang mahal kasi ng agent fee.

Hi @rrrosiiieee - from the start (skills assessment) DIY lang po kayo lahat? Thanks.
Pwedeng humingi ng tips? thank you in advance.

Hi mga Kabayan! I'm planning to lodge my EOI next yr. How much po kaya yung show money na kailangan na meron sa bank if magaapply for 491 visa as main applicant?

Btw, wala po kasi akong kamag-anak sa Oz. Kaya sariling sikap talaga. Gusto ko sana sa WA at nalula ako na 20,000 AUD ang need. Ganun din ba sa offshore applicants?

Yes. Most of the time hindi hinahanap yung show money. But kung matyempuhan kang hingan ng CO then wala kang maipakita, magkakaptoblema kang maghanap ng pera to show. Minsan need pa ung money na nasa account mo at least 3-6months. I would recommend u to start saving for this. Hndi man hanapin, at least u have money to start ur life in Australia.

Hi po, anong minimum or safe amount po ng show money enough for married couple applying for VISA?

It varies sa state na inaaplyan mo. You can check on each website kung how much for couple.

So far, I've seen NSW po ang walang show money requirement. It depends din daw po if hihingin, when do you recommend po na latest masecure po namin yung proof of funds? Is it needed po ba prior lodging visa application or ROI application pa lang dapat meron na po? Malaki din po kasi yung requirement ng karamihan sa mga states

Hi all, been a while since I was in the forum! A lot of things happened since I arrived here 2.5 years ago, and now my 491 visa is granted. I'll try to answer any questions about the application here to pay it forward. Parang kelan lang nagbabasa basa pa ako how to migrate to Aus, ngayon katotohanan na haha

Not really sure. Best way is to read each website very clearly. In my opinion, yes your relatives should be in the same state you're applying , otherwise maku question yung intention mo kung tlagang magstay ka dun for good or you will move to other state after mong makuha yung citizenship mo.

Yung relative na magssponsor is need din sa regional area pero not necessarily on the same state. I know someone na ang sponsor is WA but she's staying in VIC.

If open kayu sa ibang state try niyo rin. Start saving na ung pocket money kasi for sure we need that kung mag sisimula ka ng buhay sa Australia. Ung occupation namon nag open before pandemic kaya kami na invite. Up until now received parin ung application namin. Wala pang contact from CO. Blessed lang tlaga na bago mangyari pandemic nainvite na kami. Waiting nlng ng pag grant. Good luck

mikelle · September 2021

Just wondering po, for those nominated by other states, aside from NSW, hiningan po ba kayo ng proof of funds? If yes po, what state, year, and how much po yung minimum amount required? Just checking po if same yung nirequire from what is posted on their websites. Thank you po.

Hindi ka nila hihingan ng proof upon lodging pero you have to be ready if ever na marandom ka ng CO at hingan ka ng proof of funds.

Hi po, thank you for sharing. What if di po maapprove ng one state, can we still apply po ba to other states? Or it gives a negative impression na on our application pag ganun po ang mangyari? Honestly, sobrang laki po kasi ng required POF in majority of the states, as posted in their websites.

You can apply multiple states at the same time wala naman problema dun.

Need niyo po talaga ito pag handaan. Not because its required, but if ever dunating kayu ng Australia, you need money kasi hndi naman agad agad may employment. Madaming adjustment po.

Hi, we understand naman po that funds are necessary to support our needs upon starting our new life in Au. We're just surprised sa laki ng POF na required ng majority of the states. We have watched several Youtube videos of some of our kababayans where they brought funds just half of the required POF amount, that's what actually were planning to prepare and bring po sana.

Ung POF issubmit ko din po upon lodging ng EOI, tama po ba?

Oks lang po ba kaya kung PHP ang currency?

Pinakamahal yata sa NT which is 35k AUD. Okay lang din ba magsubmit sa ibang states kahit di nareached ung POF? Pang WA lang talaga yung sagad na keri ko. Huhu
