Don't do the padulas. Baka lalo kang magkaproblema dyan.
Kapag binigyan ka ng form ng philippine immigration for you to fill-in, i forgot the name of the form but usually they give it to those with tourist ticket/or visa regardless of what country to visit (as part of philippine's campaign for anti-human trafficking), mag-declare ka ng medyo malaking SHOW MONEY. Hindi naman nila tinitingnan ang bank account or cold cash. Basta isulat mo lang ang halaga ok na yun. Kapag naglagay ka ng 8000 pesos siguradong kukwestyunin ka ng immigration. May mga bad experiences kasi ako sa immigration kapag nagdedeclare ako ng maliit na halaga sa show money. Nakakaalis naman ako pero sobrang maraming hassle.

Share ko lang yung first time experience ko with the IO's.
In Philippines: They asked me WHEN, WHERE, and HOW kami nag-meet ng fiance ko. WHEN and WHERE ako nag-graduate and who is the DEAN. . Tapos nanahimik na siya when i gave my documents to him, stat declaration of support ng fiance ko for 3 months and invitation letter. Pero aminado ako na kinabahan talaga ako, medyo ang tagal ko din kasi sa pila;) Thank God and no questions about any proof an babalik ako sa Pinas but may copy din ako nung Fiance visa receipt ko and yung email ng Australian Embassy sa akin;)
In BNE Airport - No questions at all!;) bat ganun? hehe.. The IO just asked me if i speak Tagalog then i replied yes;) then sabi niya Kumusta ka? is it your first time? Good luck!
Thank you sa mga tips po. God bless you all!

pero kung sakaling tanungin ka and walang mag-sponsor sa iyo make sure that you have enough money na naka-depende din sa length of stay mo, kung may sponsor ka hingi ka ng statutory declaration from your sponsor yun kasi yung ilang requirements na ipinakita ko sa IO dito sa Pinas kaya siguro di na rin nag-ask about may money chorva hehe..
kung tanungin ka pa din and kung may atm card ka naman, just tell them na you have enough money in your account.
Good luck! lamig dito ngayon tsk!

i am in the process of applying for a tourist visa, no sponsor, if approved i plan to stay in Australia for one month, here are my questions:
1) since i applied on my own, when i reach Australia will they ask for my financial capacity to stay for one month?
2) should i tell them i will stay for one month or i should just tell them that i will stay for one week to avoid further questions?
3) will they ask for my hotel bookings? i ask this because i have a friend who is willing to accommodate me to her place but she cant act as my sponsor so i just decided to apply for a tourist visa on my own but i will stay in her place while i am there so i do not have hotel booking
4) are there fees that i will need to pay in Australia airport when i arrived? if yes, how much?
these are for now, hopefully someone can help me..... by the way, this is a cool and informative site

1. hindi nila ako tinanong regading this kasi cguro nagstay ako sa fiance ko. cguro hingi ka nlang ng invitation letter sa friend mo indicating na doon ka sa kanya magstay.tapos isulat mo ang complete address niya sa arrival form.
2. uhmmmm...if ako cguro i will wait na magtanong sila.1 week lang ba ang nilagay mo sa form nung nag-apply ka?
3. answer #1.hihihi...
4. sa experience ko wala akong binayaran.
