Thanks @Captain_A for the response. I appreciate it.
I'm a bit worried if I apply her too close to the expiration since I'm planning to have the visitor visa 600 12months and this will definitely require medicals.

bridging visa gives you rights to stay until visa decision arrives.
we were given bridging visa when the applicant is on australia and still has a valid visitor visa. this is our experience, more likely ganyan din sa in law mo..
to be 100% sure you may call immig.
all the best

@Captain_A I called them and yes you are correct. Thanks!
Other thing immig mentioned that she should not stay for more that 12 consecutive months. So if my mom-in-law was here Aug 2019 and if she gets extended by the new visitor visa that I will be applying, it will most likely be approved for only until Aug 2020.
But I told immig that mom-in-law went home Jan 2020 for just a week and asked I asked them if will it reset the 12 consecutive months. Immig said yes it should reset but it will depend now on the case officer. What was your case in this scenario?

hindi ko pala tlga sya na try sa parent.
pero afaik, 12 months always starts from the entry date.
so if january 2020 pumasok sa Australia, she may stay until January 2021, given na 12months ang binigay ni case officer.

i suggest apply as planned, then sa grant notice, it will mention until when she may stay, if unclear sa nakasulat sa grant notice or to decide when to book her plane tickets, you may call immig again to be sure na hindi sya lumampas sa allowed stay nya.

Hi, need lang po ng advise about applying tourist visa - on shore. I have tried to apply a tourist visa for my mom - Visitor visa (subclass 600) - Tourist stream (apply in Australia). Kaya lang sa payment $145 pa din lumalabas instead na 365aud. What I did is click yung apply link dun sa page ng Visitor visa (subclass 600) - Tourist stream (apply in Australia). Then I was redirected sa immiaccount, then next, then yung option ko is standart "Tourist stream (tourism/visit family or friends)". Hindi nakalagay na apply in australia. Thanks in advance.

Check the website for list of requirements. No approval is being issued this time. My sister's application is still pending and was ready to be approved since March 2020. Usually, medical exam is required for stays longer than 3 mos or depending on the applicant's age. You can immediately see if medical exam is required once you submit the application.

Hello po! Anyone who has done TV application for their parents recently? I'm planning to get both my parents to visit next year ang prob lang is they don't have much to show for like finances etc. Me and my partner along with my auntie and uncle will be sponsoring and shouldering their travel expenses while they are here.

May tanong lang ako sa Tourist Visa sa nanay ko. Medyo nalilito lang ako.
Siya mismo yun Applicant at gusto ko ilagay na ako yun Travelling companion niya ay ako (Anak na lalaki).
Anong ilalagay sa "Relationship to the applicant"?
tapos same din sa "Non-accompanying members of the family unit"
_Does the applicant have any members of their family unit not travelling to Australia who are not Australian citizens or Australian permanent residents?

Ilalagay ko naman mga lalaki kong kapatid na di naman sasama.
