1. gaano katagal ang processing if I apply for a 3 months tourist visa?
2. kung Feb 2014 pa yung departure tapos plan mag stay dun hanggang May 2014, pwede na ba mag apply ng tourist visa sa December 2013? paano ba yung counting ng 3 months tourist visa. from visa grant ba yung counting or from arrival in Australia. halimbawa apply ng December tapos ma grant ng December, meaning ba na hanggang March 2014 lang validity ng visa eventhough Feb na dumating ng Australia?

madali na lang naman po yan, unlike before na may court hearing pa..
mali din ang spelling ng middle name ko dati sa BC, at pinapalitan naman sa local registry office kung saan sya pinanganak, kailangan mo alng magbayad (5-10k yata)..
pag napalitan na, magkakaron ng Corretion Notes or parang remarks sa gilid ng BC na "eto na ang tamang spelling"... then pwede nyo na i-apply ng passport..
please check with them kung anung tamang process..

Pano po ung Health Insurance? Dapat makakuha na ng ganun bago mag apply ng visa? Kasama sya sa isusubmit na requirements sa immigration? Or antayin muna irequire ng immigration/CO bago kumuha ng health insurance?
Thanks po ulit.

If I apply for a student visa or a student guardian visa while I am in Australia, do I need to hold a current visa?
If you are applying for a student visa in Australia you must either:
• currently hold a qualifying visa or
• have previously held a certain visa and lodge an application within 28 days from the date that visa ends.
What is a qualifying visa?
…….
Visitor visa (subclass 600)*
……
* holders of this visa can only apply for a student visa by lodging paper application form 157A 'Application for a student visa' until further notice.
