@irenesky Hi sa tingin ko hindi sya 489 visa maybe another visa kasi wala pa sya sa website. I know malaking tulong yung Medicare for 489 visa holders but then lets hope meron na nga available. Better inquire Medicare office regarding this issue par…

Oo pwede i-attach yung dating IELTS. Siguro mga 2 yrs and 3 months yung binigay ko bale yun na lahat ng work experience ko at iisa lang employer ko. Ang alam ko as long as more than 1,820 hrs (52wks x 35hrs) ang work mo ok na yun. Yung sakin kasi ha…
Hi all, just asking if we have to provide evidence of residency for all the years of residency in Australia? We will be submitting our documents this coming 10th April (our 4th yr in Australia), here is our situation:
- we didn't have any formal doc…
@ubejam Di ko lang sure kung lahat nga ng documents kelangan nga JP signature, but as much as possible yung documents lalo na yung galing sa Pinas ipina JP ko para lang sure. No need to take IELTS for 887 visa; NBI clearance kelangan mo para sa mga …
@ubejam I think the most important documents to submit are evidence of residency and work. Make sure makikita dun yung number of hours sa evidence of work mo like payslip. Yung residency pwede rin ang telephone bills, car rego, rent certificates, cr…
@marimari I think pwede naman wala naman nakalagay na age requirements sa 887 visa as it was not mentioned on their website. Kindly check if I am wrong. Goodluck.
@ubejam I think as long as ma-hit mo more than 1,820 hours (35hrsx52wks) before ka maglodge ng 887 pwede na masatisfy yung work mo. My working hours before varies between 20 to 40 hrs per week mostly mas marami yung below 35 hrs per week but since n…
@lccnsrsnn how old is your mother-in-law? Its ok to support her financially hindi mo kelangan ng source of income nya as long as may valid reason sya for an extended stay. I got my father here with only 50k pesos (kami na lang naghulog nun pambili n…
@lccnsrsnn Why don't you try tourist visa 600? Di mo na kelangan mag sponsor but you can include yourself as immediate contact person sa Australia. That's what we did when we're still on 489. Hope this helps. Cheers
@toAustraliaandbeyond wala eh but I know gmail talaga gamit nilang domain kasi maliit lang sila. They're ok as far as I know. Mas tutok sila sa mga client since mas filtered lang ang tinatanggap nila.
Hi guys, I have a question, me and my wife traveled back to Philippines last February to June 2017 (5 months) and it was the only time we traveled outside Australia since April 2014. My question is do we still need to provide NBI clearance for citiz…
Hehe ganyang ganyan din ako sa IELTS ko nadala ako, ang problema first take lang ako at di na sumubok ulit. Ang alam ko additional 5 pts pa kung yung partner mo ay may IELTS. It might help. Anyways kung nagmamadali na kayo pumunta dito australia kun…
@kymme may nakuha na ba kayo visa? If may na issue na sa inyo na 489 then you have no choice but to fulfill 2 years regional then 1 yr work then apply for 887 visa (PR). If wala pa visa try nyo na agad yung 190. I don't think there's a way for a 489…
Wow, ang taas na pala ng fee nila ngayon. Way back 2011, 60k pesos lang ang fee nila. Anyway, they have a really great customer service. They will not stop sending you e-mails and text messages until you give them the documents and other necessary p…
I'm not discouraging those who applied for 489 visa, I just wanted to share my experience having the said visa. I did not retake my IELTS (I got a band of 6), nanghinayang din ako sa exam kasi 10k pesos din yun tsaka tinamad na ko sabi ko pwede na y…
Hi for those who are taking subclass 489 visas make sure na talagang wala na kayong option to get a permanent visa (e.g. 190 or 189) otherwise kung may chance na makakuha kayo permanent resident thru extra points like IELTS or PTE take the chance ka…
Hi everyone, mabilis na ba talaga ang processing ng tourist visa (600) ngayon? Kasi ini apply ko yung father ko last saturday, nakuha ko na yung visa kaninang hapon lang. I wonder kung ano naging reason kung bakit ganun kabilis. Last year yung mothe…
