Ano ung exact ANZSCO na gusto mo i-nominate?
Honestly, following your queries here, medyo kalat ung mga tanong mo and I can feel you're lost, baka gusto mo ng i-consider mag agent? : )

@Janry Yeah, look for your nominated occupation here: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/working-in-australia/skill-occupation-list. I-base mo sa duties ng occupation, wag sa title. Once you find the closest match sa list, makikita mo rin dyan available visa options mo—if you're going for GSM. If you're going for work sponsorship, that's really more a game of luck I would say since the local workforce is prioritised, and businesses have to provide proof na wala silang ma-source locally hence the sponsorship of an offshore/foreign worker. So you need to apply and look for employers, if yan ang gagawin mo. These are two different paths: GSM and work sponsorship.
If GSM ka, a "freelancer" is just a generalised job title/setup. You need to be more specific. Ano bang ginagawa mo as a freelancer? Nagf-freelance ka as what? For example, there are freelance photographers, writers, designers, etc. Ano yung sayo?

You've mentioned that you're a freelancer. Typically you would be issuing invoices to your clients (your employer) about the work that you do, whether it's per-hour or per-project basis. The invoice is a proof that you are offering a service to someone and that you expect to get paid for it. It's similar to a timesheet/payslip when you're employed in a company, where you see the hours you've worked and hourly/daily wage.
When I do my freelance work I would issue an invoice to my client that will include the my details, my customer's details (company name, address, contact numbers), description of work and the associated cost, plus mode of payment (bank transfer and terms of payment). After I get paid, I would issue a receipt to the client to acknowledge that they've paid me, so both parties have tax invoices (I have proof that I rendered a service, and my client has proof that they hired me).
Do you not have the same set up with your clients? Receiving money in your bank (or Paypal) monthly doesn't really show a work history. I.e., a friend can send me money every month, but those payments doesn't automatically translate that I'm being paid for work.
Bank statement in the Australian context is an official document sent to you by your bank, about all the transactions pertinent to your account. So any money you've received and taken out (or withdrawn) will reflect on this statement. If you've received payment for something, usually the name of the person/entity that paid you will reflect on this statement.

GSM = General Skilled Migration. Walang freelancer visa under GSM, pero if you secure a PR visa under GSM, I think you can work sa Australia as a freelancer. I think you are a bit confused, or baka I'm not getting your question. Ano nang pinasa mo, VETASSESS skills assessment ba?
If freelance photo retoucher ka, ang equivalent occupation mo under GSM siguro ay Photo Developer, something like that. Walang merit kung freelancer/self-employed ka or employed ka, kasi eligible naman yan basta masubmit mo requirements for skills assessment. So if your question is if may chance ka kahit freelancer ka now, yes, IF you nominate the closely related occupation and submit substantial documentation to back up your work expi as a freelancer.
And wala. In Progress means assigned na yan and tinitignan na, so you can only wait, I'm afraid. Check back in 3 months from date na sinubmit mo, kasi yun ang usual processing time ni VETASSESS. Although recently mas tumagal.

Also, if you are a freelancer, you technically do not have an employer, since di ka employee. Yung US company na you work with is your CLIENT, not your employer. With freelancing, you employ yourself (self-employed). Might help with the confusion.

Nabanggit mo a few posts back na Vetassess has already provided comments. Ilang araw ang binigay nila para i-provide mo yung additional documents na hinihingi nila? Baka kasi mas maigi na kumausap ka na ng registered migration agent para maipakita mo yung exact documents that you submitted & yung comments ng Vetassess, tapos mapag-usapan nyo ng maigi yung work experience mo. Tumatakbo na rin kasi ang oras, para mahabol mo pa yung deadline for the additional documents.

If I understand it right, I think @Janry is asking whether they can continue to work as a freelancer for a US company while being a PR in Australia. Basically, working for a non Australian employer and I wonder how the tax rule works for this. @Janry, if ever this is allowed make sure to register as self-employed and pay the taxes in Australia, otherwise you may be putting yourself in a difficult situation once you intend to apply for the citizenship as one of the things they will look at to test your link to Australia is if you have a job in Australia and your income tax payment (https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/citizenship/become-a-citizen/permanent-resident#Eligibility). Not sure din kung may punishment ang di pagbayad ng tax sa AU, haha, unlike sa PH kasi daming nakakatakas sa tax as freelancers.

@era222 Nagkamali or naguluhan kac ako sa term na ginamit ko, akala ko kac pagworking ka at may nagpapasahod sau, employee ako, parang katulad sa Pinas. Pero nung humingi ako ng payslip sa employer ko, kac nga nakailng ulit ako nagpatulong sa payslip at bankstatement, sab nya contractor/freelancer/independent ako, kaya ngaun ko lng nagets na freelancer pla tlga ako, na cnab mo din. Akala ko kac pag freelancer tinatawag ka lng pag may papagawa, eh ung employer ko naun, every day naman ako nagwowork, kaya akala ko full time ako at employee ako, pero sab nya hndi daw ako employee, kac per photo bayad nya sa kin at un lng binabayaran sakin.
Ayaw ko mag pa agent kc wala akong pera at nagawa din naman ng iba na DIY, so try ko lng din. Nag tanung dati ako sa agent sa fb, sab di daw ako pwede, mag student visa daw ako, eh may nakausap ako na teacher na nagaaply ng student visa naka 300k na at madadagdagan pa daw un.
Nag pa Skill Assessment ako for General Occupation sa vetassess, Photo grpher's assistant ako kac dun mas malapit ung description ng work ko.
Pano ba ung cnasab mo na secure PR Visa under GSM? pwede ako makapunta sa Australia working as Freelancer?

I'll try to simplify everyone's statements kasi naguguluhan ka ata:
It doesn't matter kung free lancer ka o hindi, ang way para makapunta ka ng Australia is if mainvite ka sa mga General skilled migration visa.
Para mainvite ka dyan, need mo muna ng positive assessment sa VETASSESS. So magfocus ka muna dyan sa step na yan. Hangga't wala kang positive assessment, hindi mo magagawa yung mga susunod na steps.

Yan ang steps generally. Wag mo na muna isipin yung "makakapunta ako sa Australia working as a freelancer" kasi maguguluhan ka lang. Focus ka sa skills assessment mo. Basta tama ang nominated occupation na napili mo at basta masubmit mo lahat ng requirements ng maayos, freelancer ka man o hindi, may chance na ma-approve ang skills assessment mo. Hindi ka makakapunta ng Australia hangga't wala kang valid visa, at hindi ka makakakuha ng valid visa as a skilled worker hangga't hindi positive ang skills assessment mo, dahil makakausad ka lang sa proseso kapag positive yan.

Also, mura lang ang pagapply sa student visa, hindi aabot dapat ng 300k. Pero ang pagsustento nun, aabot halos ng 1M dahil magbabayad ka ng tuition, etc. Di talaga yun recommended, unless kaya/gusto mo talaga. Pero ang pagapply ng skilled worker visa (GSM, yang ginagawa mo) would cost 300k halos from start to end. Ang agent at least 100k minimum ang fee na nakikita ko. For GSM ito ah.
Magbasa-basa ka sa Department of Home Affairs website. Ito example: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/skilled-nominated-190. Andyan lahat ng info na need mo about GSM. Yan ang official URL, yang "immi.homeaffairs.gov.au". Sa YouTube, try mo panoorin si Karl Konrad, super helpful din nun. Need mo maging pursigido sa pagbabasa and research kapag DIY. Tapos if need mo ng further clarification, ask ka dito sa forum.
Pero for now, skills assessment muna asikasuhin mo para di ka maguluhan. Then kapag okay na, magsched and prepare ka na for IELTS or PTE.

Hello po. Gusto ko po sana magtanong about sa skills assessment for Teacher of English to Speakers of Other Languages. Bale ito po yung history ko:
First question, paano po magpa assess ng credentials? Like paano po malaman kung comparable ba to an Australian degree yung course ko sa PH?
Second, may TESOL teacher na po ba dito na PR na sa AU?
Thank you po sa mga sasagot. God bless us all!

ok thanks po. hindi po kasi makakuha ng slot sa priority processing.

kung mag pa-assess po ako sa vet ngayon, baka wala na ko sa current work di pa din tapos ang assessment ko.

@Janry I looked at your nominated occupation in the Skilled Occupation List. 187 and 494 visas pala yung pwede sa iyo. After you get a positive skills assessment baka dapat maghanap ka na muna ng employer in a regional area who is willing to sponsor you, bago ka gumastos sa English test. Hindi naman points-based ang employer sponsored visas.

@era222 Yang mga cnab mo na dapat kong gawin, yan tlga ung gagawin ko. Pero naisip ko lng bigla na baka sa freelancer may ibang way para makakuha ng visa, kaya nagtatanung ako dito, hindi ko naman inisip na agad agad akong makakapunta dun, syempre alam ko namang dapat makapasa sa mga assessment at dapat may visa din, para makapunta sa Australia. Nakaexam nanga pla ako sa PTE last year mga Sept.

Ahh, so yung tanong mo pala is if may visa type ba specifically for freelancers. Makes sense na kung bakit ganun yung question mo. Ang alam ko walang visa specifically for freelancers, unfortunately for us Filipinos. Either skilled migration visa or employer sponsorship talaga, if work ang habol mo. Sa Western nationalities kasi mayroon silang parang working holiday visa, yun pwede ka maging freelancer or work while on holiday sa Australia. Pero for your nominated occupation, mukhang regional sponsorship ang available, gaya ng sinabi ni @maguero. So hindi yata nag-aapply sayo yung pag-lodge kaagad ng EOI and so on. Baka good to try na maghanap ng possible sponsors sa LinkedIn or seek.com.au?

Try mo rin siguro magbook ng kahit one-time consultation sa agent? Magbabayad ka nga lang pero at least they can give info or guidance, sulitin mo na lang tapos tadtarin mo na ng mga questions mo siguro para 'di sayang bayad. Not sure how much mga consults na 'to, I've encountered free ones from My Australian Life/Carmine before. I think that's why ni-recommend sayo ng agent na inask mo before ang student visa route, dahil sponsorship visas ang available for your nominated occupation.

@era222 May nabasa kac ako sa google na parang pwede ata freelancer dapat mareach ung salary para sa tax na babayaran? Kaya nagtatanung ako dito kung may idea kau sa freelancer.

Wala kasi yun sa pagiging freelancer (self-employed) or company employed. Technically pwede ka naman mag-work as freelancer / independent contractor in AU as long as you have a working visa. Pero ang isa sa requirement nga para magkaroon ng working visa is meron kang valid skill assessment. Tulad nga ng sinabi sa isang post, dun ka muna mag focus. Kailangan mo i-prove kay VETASSESS na may work experience ka dun sa ni-nominate mo na occupation.

Yeah, this. Pwede kang freelancer sa AU once may valid visa ka, pero walang ibang special way to get a visa as a freelancer. That's why lahat ng sumagot sayo is redirecting you to focus on skills assessment para masecure mo yung visa na need mo. Hope we are helping you.
Mas helpful kung ipost mo dito yang nabasa mo sa Google, mas malilinawan din mga members dito para mas matulungan ka. Hindi kasi naman mawawari kung anong site ba yan, official AU site ba or ano lang.

Pointing out as well na the only visas available to the Photographer's Assistant occupation are 187 and 494. Pareho itong regional employer-sponsored visas. If you are able to get either of these visas, kailangan mong magtrabaho for a certain period of time as an employee of the company that sponsored your visa. Hindi ka pwede maging freelancer agad dito. For 494 in particular, you can't even change employers until maging PR ka.
