Tourist Visa (Business Stream) - Employer Requirements

sskngm76 · September 4

Hi, I'm working permanent full time and directly for my employer who is based Australia - I am based in the Philippines. I've been invited to attend a conference for November 2024. I know what is required of me for the application, but not entirely sure what else my employer needs to provide as supporting documents? I saw online and on Immi Website itself that an invitation, letter from employer stating reason for visit, conference details, itinerary, employment contract, documents showing that the company is actively operating (business registration certificate or annual reports) would work. Aside from these, is there anything other supporting document my employer need to provide? I'm anxious that by giving only what is in the Immi list might not suffice. Thank you and looking forward to all your thoughts on this.

Add proof of home times, Form 54 (downloadable in DHA website). Include other visas and/or entry-exit stamps in your passport. If you already have a flight reservation (esp return), you can include this as well.

Thank you! On my employer's end what else do I need to ask from them, what else to provide? I saw they also submitted a Statutory Declaration and Affidavit of Support (not entirely sure if I need to ask the latter from my employer because they will only cover the cost of the conference and local tickets - Syd, Gold Coast and Melbourne).
