Not sure if this is the right thread to ask but:
Yung employer ko po kasi is trying to check other option, Gusto nya ako magtourist visa and then apply for a VISA 186 DE at the same time kukuha siya ng Bridging visa para kapag expire na yung tourist visa ko ay pwde pa ako mgstay sa AU.Since Onshore daw ay mas mabilis.
1) Is it legally possible to shift from tourist visa >bridging visa>working visa (186DE)
2) If so, pwede ba ako magwork while on a bridging visa.
Original option is to lodge 186DE and wait.
Yung Agent nya kasi nagtitingin ng ibang ways to fast track yung process to obtain working visa.
I'm Offshore (sg based).
Thank you.

Sakin ang tanong lang saan ang punta, gaano katagal, and patingin ng company ID and visa. But I prepared all my documents, including an itinerary, and memorised details, like hotel name and address.
Sa Aus IO, ang tanong lang is if I'm alone and patingin visa.

Hello mga Kababayans,
Hope someone can help. Planning to apply for DIY tourist visas for my parents.
Question: Who decides how many months of stay every arrival if multiple entries in a year ang visa granted?
Is there a way in the application to submit a request for more than 3months stay?
Thank you for the answers.

Make sure the applicant can prove genuine temporary visit like having a job to go back to and has sufficient funds to support himself on the duration of the visit.

Wag mo declare na spouse or de facto si bf. At this point, wala sya (bf) bearing sa application mo unless sakanya ka magsstay during your visit.

Si VFS ang mag uupdate ng biometrics data sa account mo. Yung button na "I confirm" if my understanding is correct, this relates to the documents you submitted. So only click this if you are 100% sure that you have submitted all requirements.
