[UPDATE October 13, 2015] Here’s a guide on how you can easily, quickly, and cheaply apply for an Australian tourist visa online
[Update: September 15, 2014] Philippine passport holders can now apply for an Australian tourist visa online through the IMMI website. Application fee must be paid via credit card. You can still apply in person through VFS.
I am not a visa officer, nor am I migration agent. I am in no way affiliated with the Australian Embassy Manila nor with the Australian government. This post comes from my experience with preparing and submitting visa applications for family members and for myself. Also note that this entry pertains to my experience in applying for an Australian tourist visa in April 2013. This is geared towards applicants who holds a Philippine passport, though the preparation can be applied for other nationalities as well. The Australian immigration update their forms every 3 months. I will try to answer your questions the best way that I can, but bear in mind that I can’t answer all your questions. If you ask a question I’ve already answered in the post, I will ignore you.
After almost seven years, I finally have an update to my now epic How to Apply for an Australian Tourist Visa series. I have written two posts on the topic, both garnering over a thousand comments, with one getting over 4,500! I have stopped replying to comments, since I don’t think I’m not the best person to be talking about it, as my knowledge of the visa process is largely obsolete, so the visitors have taken upon themselves to answer each other’s questions, with successful applicants coming back to share their good news and help others. It has become a mini forum of sorts and I have to admit I’m happy it turned out that way. I found it to be a great help when I took another chance to apply for an Australian tourist visa once more.
Before I get to the visa application process, here’s some background about me and my circumstances: I am a Philippine passport holder, and have applied and received a visa from Australia before. I have a valid US Visa, with used tourist visas to Canada, Japan, and Myanmar. I also have more than 70 arrival and departure stamps from various countries, and that’s just in one passport. I am single and have my own company registered with the DTI. I have a bank account and a couple of credit cards, and I have two sisters who live in Australia, one of which is a temporary resident and the other a citizen. My intention to visit was for a short break from life in Manila, and to hopefully visit places I missed during my first two trips to the Australia.
Step 1: Download and read the necessary pages, documents, and forms.
This is very important, I can’t stress that enough. It won’t do to just ask questions without reading these web pages and documents first, because you’ll look like an idiot. Majority of your questions would likely be answered by the information written in these files. All these are available for download at the Australian Immigration website, immi.gov.au, and they are all free.
- Visitor Visas (Subclass 600) information page
- Application for a Visitor visa – Tourist stream (Form 1419)
- Visitor visa (Subclass 600) Application document checklist
- Charges and fees (Form 990i)
- Pricing Estimator
There is no need to print all of those pages or forms (unless you prefer to read them off the computer), but the one thing you should print is the visa application form. It’s a fillable form, wherein you can type in your answers on the form itself and print it afterwards. If you use Adobe Reader to open it, it will not save the changes to the form, so fill it out only when you are ready to print and submit. However, if you’re using Foxit PDF Reader, it can save the changes to the form, so you can fill it out and edit it later on before printing.
Step 2: Gather the required documents
Page 15 of Form 1419, Part M is actually an application check list. The column on the left lists all the required documents, while the column on the right lists the additional documents you may submit.
Here are the documents I submitted:
- Certified true copy of the identity page and pages with visa stamps of my valid passport
- Recent passport photo taken within the last six months
- Visa application charge in manager’s or cashier’s check
The Australian embassy do not affix visa labels anymore, so there’s no need to send your passport when you apply, unless you specify that you want a visa label. I would have done this, but the label costs AU$70.
Step 3: Gather your supporting documents
Here are the supporting documents I submitted. Remember that this vary depending on your circumstance. You’re not required to submit all of these, but it is advised that you submit as much supporting documents as you can to prove that you can fund your trip to Australia, and that you have a strong reason to come back to the Philippines.
- Birth certificate printed on security paper
- Certified true copy of my DTI Registration
- Certified true copy of my BIR Registration (Form 2303)
- Certified true copy of my Income Tax Return (From 1701)
- Certified true copy of the invitation letter from my sister
- Certified true copy of my sister’s pay slip
- Certified true copy of my sister’s passport bio page and employee ID
- NBI Clearance
- Bank statement
- Credit card statement
- Itinerary
The Australian immigration require that all photocopied documents you submit are certified true copies. You can do this by going to the Notary Public.
If you look at the form, it doesn’t list the birth certificate as part of the documents needed. I included it anyway, since I have an extra copy. Also, when I called to have my document picked up, they mentioned something about the NSO and I asked if I still need to get another since I already have a SECPA copy. They said I can include my copy instead of getting a new one.
Supplementary reading: How to apply for birth, death, and marriage documents in the Philippines – National Statistics Office (NSO)
The NBI clearance isn’t really required either, but I included it since I have it anyway. I got it because it was required in the previous form, 48R. A medical isn’t required, but you may be required to get one if you are applying for a 6-month visa, or if you’re over 75 years old. The medical is only done through accredited clinics. From what I understand, you have to submit your application and use the reference code the embassy will give you when you go for your medical.
I also included a cover letter [Download sample of intent letter] explaining the purpose of my trip and that I wish to get a multiple-entry visa, since I want to make a side trip to New Zealand. This isn’t really necessary, since the form now asks for your trip’s purpose. You are also asked to provide an itinerary of your trip, though you are not required nor advised to make any bookings until your visa is approved.
Step 4: Buy a manager’s check for the visa fee
The visa fee is AU$115, which is Php 5,100, based on the conversion rate at the time. Please double check the fees and the conversion rate, as this can change anytime. I bought my manager’s check from BDO, since I have an account there. Based on the comments in the previous blog posts, there are banks that would not let you buy a manager’s check if you don’t have an account with them. Best to call and inquire with the banks in your area if they’ll let you buy a manager’s check from them even if you don’t have an account.
Step 5: Lodge your application
Required reading: Where to Apply
You don’t have to go to the embassy to submit your application. There are two ways to submit: you can either call the embassy hotline and have them pick up your documents or submit them in person at the VIA Center.
I opted to go with the call center, since it was summer and don’t want to be away for too long from my electric fan. Calling the hotline costs Php 32 per minute, not including the charges from your network provider, if you are calling from a mobile phone. My phone call took about 10 minutes (which included a long wait for them to finish a spiel, and another wait for an operator to be available), and cost me Php 339.29. If you’re going this route, listen closely at the start of the spiel, because there is an option to skip that and go directly to request for a pick up.
The courier fee for Metro Manila is Php 320, paid directly to the messenger who will pick up your documents. This fee covers both pick up and delivery after your application as been processed.
VIA Center have offices in Makati and Cebu.
Step 6: Wait for your visa
Visa processing takes about ten days all the way to 30 days. I called to have my documents picked up on Tuesday, April 2, 2013. It was almost 5pm when I called, and was told that they have already reached the quota for pick up the follwing day. My documents were picked up on Thursday, April 4. I received a text from the embassy that my documents were received on Monday, April 8.
By the third week of April, I was wondering what’s happening to my application. Someone who commented on my previous post said her application was received around the same time and she already has her visa. I started worrying when someone who submitted a week after I did said she already got her visa grant. That’s when I also found out that the embassy conducts phone interviews.
Apparently, they don’t do this to all applicants, only for those they feel they need to clarify certain answers to the application form. Worry changed to distress when I missed not one, but FOUR calls from the embassy. The first call was to our house phone, and my sister gave them my mobile number since I was out of the house. The first call to my mobile came while I was struggling to get off a packed LRT, so I had to cancel it. The next two came when the phone was in silent mode because I was at an event. You can just imagine how frantic I was.
I ended up calling the number, but it was the consulate’s trunkline number. I was told to just call the visa information number (845 9200). Because I do not know how to follow instructions, I called the hotline instead, and was told to send them an e-mail, which can be found on the immigration website. I sent an e-mail using the contact form there, and did not receive any response.
On May 7, just a day shy of one month since they received my documents, I called the hotline again, after getting no response or call from the embassy. The operator took pity and gave me a number to contact, which is the consulate hotline. I wasn’t able to talk to anybody, but I did get an e-mail address. I sent another e-mail, which again did not receive any response.
I finally got a text on May 14 that my documents have been dispatched to the courier for delivery. It did not mention if my visa was granted or not. My documents came the following day, and I was so relieved that my application was granted. It wasn’t a multiple entry visa, as I was hoping for. The visa was granted on May 10, and since it was a long weekend, it wasn’t dispatched until after election day.
Unlike before, the embassy not just issue visa grant letters for tourists. You need to bring this when you leave Manila, as the local immigration would ask for your visa before they stamp you out of the country. Also, instead of having a one-year validity, my Australian tourist visa is only valid until November 2013.

I hope you find this helpful. I would also suggest you check the previous entries, How to apply for an Australian visa and Applying for an Australian tourist visa, because the discussions over there are a great resource, as it have inputs from applicants with different circumstances.
You’re welcome to post your questions here, but please read the entire blog post and read all the documents I linked to before asking. Did you apply for an Australian tourist visa recently? How was your experience?

[…] How to apply for an Australian Tourist Visa (2013 edition) […]
Good evening… may I ask kng ang lawyer ba tlaga ang dapat gagawa ng letter for reference sa family? Like sa Parents and siblings… nakagawa na kase ako ready to print out then pinigilan ako ng friend ko kase dapat sa lawyer daw ako mgpagawa at mgpastamp dun. Bawal pala kng kaw lng yung gumawa then print mo lng tapos pirmahan nila. Thanks a lot. Nalilito kase ako natatkot naman ako baka bawal na ako lng gumawa at yung parents at mga kapatid ko. Dapat tlga s mismong lawyer? @_____@
hi Dominique, ok lang naman pag ikaw n ung gumawa, tapos papirmahan mo n lng sa parents or siblings mo..ganun din yung sa akin, approved naman visa ko 🙂
hi sis Ms. Yap mag e-email cla if need ng another documents. pag pass ka ng additional documents may fifil-apan ka sa VFS, tapos sa over ng envelope ilalagay ng vfs na supporting or another documents.
Si Ruby, what if hindi naman sila humingi sakin, gusto ko lang magadditional, can I add more by sending it sa immigration email? Thanks.
*cover i mean po.
Sis. Ano ba mga pinasa mo po? Halos magkasunod lang tayo nagpasa. Buti ka pa approved ka na agad.
hi sis Yap, oo prang mgkasunod lng tau, mabili lng result sa akin kc sabi nila case to case basis daw un, depende un sa laman ng intent letter mo, worried nga ako eh kc hndi completo docs ni partner. pero binasihan ng CO ang intent letter ko, invitation letter ni partner at nag submit din kasi ako ng another letter from my sis na nagpapatunay n tlagang uuwi ako (aatend kasi ako ng kasal nya) tapos nag submit din ako ng reference letter from my mama. kompleto lahat ng docs ko nun, ka partner lang kulang..ok lng mghintay ka sa result sis bsta grant un, positive lng.
Ano ang kulang ng sponsor mo sis?
pinadala nya lahat ng documents nya sa akin, pero sabi nya sa time n isusubmit ko n application ko wag ko daw isali ang bank statement nya, kasi daw may CO daw n minsan kapag alam nilang magkanu ang laman ng pera ng sponsor mo idedeny daw or refuse ang result pra daw apply ka ulit, pero pg mag e-email daw cla at tlgang kukunin un, dun p lng daw dpat ibigay. hehe, thanks god at grant naman.
Sis Ruby, pero unemployed ka db? Galing naman. Send mo naman sakin mga pinasa mo pls. Compare ko lang sa pinasa ko. Thanks. 🙂
Hello mga sis, oo hindi ko sinubmit ang bank statement ni partner, prero pinadala nya sa akin statement nya, hindi ko lang pinasa ksi suggestion n na pg hihingin dw, dun p lng ipapahabol ng subit, kasi daw my CO daw n pg nalalaman nilang malaki ang laman ng pera, deny ka nila pra apply ka ulit (so another manager’s cheque LOL) pero nag submit nman ng letter si partner n galing sa work nya, nilagay ng boss nya n magkano ang gross profit nya every year. ang sinubmit ko lng ung xerox copy ng dalawang credit card (atm) nya haha. case to case basis, now ko lng tlaga nalalaman n ang ibang CO ay babase sa letter mo (heavy reason why u wanted to visit their country) at reason kung bakit ka tlaga babalik dito. hindi n nila hahanapin ang slip/statement ng sponsor, according to my partner “its none of their business daw, understood n yun n kaya taung sponsoran kc nga ininvite tau sa country nila hehe.
sis Yap tama ka, unemployed ako, pinag resign n ako ni partner before ako nag process ng TV..eto mga sinubmit ko:
-original birth cert
-two valid iDs
-passport copy
-intent letter
intent letter from my sis (to proof that i will be going to come back before her wedding)
-reference letter from my mom (to proof na cya muna mag aalaga ng anak ko hbang nsa australia ako)
-birth cert ng anak ko at nka attach din picture ng anak ko with me, with my fiance, with my mom
-convo namin ni partner sa ym at skype (9 pages lng)
-western union resibo
-pics ko with my family (to proof the strong family ties)
-pics namin ni partner during engagement party
-checklist form (na dapat daw complete sa pgsagot mo)
-form 1419
-manager’s cheque
yan sis hehhe. advice kasi s akin ni partner nun n dapat ang ilagay ko daw sa letter ang very important reason kung bakit makalipad ako agad hehe. tapos categorize ko lahat, nilagyan ng clip.
sa pagkaka-alam ko pg refuse ka tapos may agent kang kinuha, pwede mo ipapa follow-up ang form mo. kasi gnyan din experienced ng cousin ko..may agent clang kinuha, refuse ang result..pina follow-up ng agent at 3 days ang hintay grant n cya 🙂
Thank you sis Ruby. Pwede ko po ba makita yung letter ng mother mo na pinasa mo sa kanila? Send mo naman sis sa email ko po kung pwede? bernadette.yap92@gmail.com
Gusto ko sana magadditional ng documents para may basehan lang po ako. Thank you!
Ako didn sis Ruby, pwede? yung letter ng mum mo… delete the important details lng for security… I want to know din kase dahil hindi ko alam panu ko contruct at sisimulan ang letter sa mga reference dahil nalilito ako.. Thank you sis karlettnaval@gmail.com
Hi sis Yap and Ruby! Ask ko lng no need ba ang bank account statement to submit? Kase nabasa ko sa comment mo kng kelan lng sila mg request… so may posibility pala na yung bank statement cause of refusal if ever.. so payslip and certificate of employment is okay lng as long as you prove to them na may work si bf and kaya kang suporthana pag nandun kana? Thanks!
Hi Thea, case to case basis.
Ayon kay sis Ruby and JM, hindi sila nagpasa ng Bank Statement ng sponsor nila and if ever magrerequest si CO mo kung kulang.
Pero in other scenario, what if hindi sila humingi? Tapos nag decide na agad si CO na refused ka kasi kulang documents ng sponsor mo. I’m also confused now! lol
That’s why it’s important to include as many supporting documents as you can with your application. Mas maigi nang sobra, kesa kulang 😉
Kaya nga mga sis, thanks sis Yap, Ruby and Miss Nina… pati ako naguguluhan baka kase ma question eh hindi masyado kalakihan yung pera ni bf.. kng hindi mo i declare eh baka timing sayo na un ang cause of refusal while on the other hand okay lng na wala sa iba.. depende din ata sa CO. malas mo naman kng nataon sayo pero wag naman sana! naguguluhan din ako pero go go go! @_@
Hello Girls!
Need to ask. My bf is an Australian citizen. Pinag aapply niya ako ng tourist visa para mas malaking chance na matanggap kapag inapplyan niya na ako ng Fiance visa. But unfortunately, passport nso other government ids and bank cerft lang ang docs ko. Unemployed kasi ako since never ako nag apply after ko grumaduate a year ago and wala din ako business. Ano pa po ba ang docs na pwede ko ipresent? Okay na po ba ang affidavit of support, bank cert, itr, payslip, saln, bills ng father ko?
Yung sa bf ko po since sponsoran niya ako. Bank cert, Coe, payslip, passport and contract nila sa apartment (proof lang na matagl na sila nakatira dun)
invitation letter galing sakanya and proof ng relationship namin.
Meron pa po ba na kulang? Salamat po.
Hello, sis Ruby and sis Yap. Btw, through online kayo? I think mas mabilis pag walk in ata kase mostly after 24 hours may result na pero it depends din ata sa mga documents na pinasa kng kulang may delayed so better make sure na kumpleto at sobar2x kesa kulang. Hehe I am planning to lodge din I am gathering all the requirements and documents needed bahala na sobrang dami.. hehe good luck to us

Ohh… Hopefully, I get it in time for our departure… Crossing all my fingers and toes! 🙂
You’ll have it in time don’t worry.Cheers.
Thanks Lene! 🙂 I’ll keep this blog posted.
No worries.take it easy

Hello po. .as ko lang if kailangan pa bang e attach yung form 1419 kahit thru online via immi. .
Ms. Nina ask ko lang po about dun sa payslip ng sponsor niyo. Yung recent payslip lang po ba or yung 3 months payslip niya? Yung sponsor ko po kasi weekly ang pay sakanya. Paano po kaya yun? Yung 3 weeks niyang payslip or kahit isang payslip per month? Msyado po kasi madami kung buong 3 months issubmit e limited lang yung file kapag online mag aapply. Thanks in advance!
Hi Lee,
Each pdf file is max of 5mb. You can scan all 3months payslip in 1 pdf file. Just check the file size,must not exceed 5mb. I have 14 pages scanned of travel history of my partner in 1 pdf file and thats about 3.5mb. I have scanned12 pages of random photos in 1 pdf file,each page has 4 different photos and it’s 4.5mb etc. 22 total files attached.
Cheers!!
Thanks for the info Ms. Kay! Another question pa po kung required ba talaga na 3 months payslip? Worried lang po kami kasi na injury yung sponsor ko so nag light duty siya at bumaba ang rate. Mag 1 month pa lang na full duty siya ulit. Baka po kasi makaapekto yun. Okay lang po kaya yung kahit 1month niya na payslip since every week yung pay saknya. Thanks!
Hi Lee,
You’re welcome. I guess okay lang ang 1 month payslip. Instead,ITR and COE might help a lot. Hindi kasi ako nagsubmit ng payslip ng partner ko. COE,Bank Statement. Makikita naman nila kasi ung monthly pay nya sa bank statement kaya walang payslip. 🙂
Gals ano pwede ipasa na supporting docs pag unemployed at walang business? Thanx!
Hi G. Assets like land titles or car registration. Pwede rin affidavit of support from parents. Do you have a sponsor?
Hi sis Sakura what are the samples of affidavit of support from parents? Litong lito ako dito sa visa pero kaya naman basta basahin mo lng mabuti from the very start… ^_^ thanks
Hi Ms. Sakura! Anong reqs kapag support from parents? Mother ko housewife, Father ko lang ang may work. Thanks!
Hi Sakura88,
musta po app mo? 1 week ka ahead sakin through immi. still app received pa din ang status ng akin.
Hi sis Kay, still the same. Application received. Hay nakakafrustrate na nga. Pinarebook na Ng partner ko ticket ko and nagbayad na naman sya. Sana ma grant this week or early next week. Goodluck satin.
Sis G and Shane, you can get affidavit of support from a lawyer, saying na your mother or father that is employed is supporting you. Or malaking tulong din yung receipt of money transfer from your sponsor in oz.
Sis Shane meron akong post dito Ng documents that I have submitted for tourist visa. Unemployed din ako. First lodgement ko yun thru Paper application. 1 day lang that time granted na visa ko for a 3-month stay. Unlike now, grabe almost 4 weeks na wala pang result. Online ako nag apply this time. As what Ms Nina said, you need to make sure that your documents are complete prior to lodging because they will entirely base their decision on our papers. Goodluck! You can do it, a lot of people here took time to read and asked questions. It can be stressful sometimes but all your efforts will pay off one day. Cheers! 🙂
hi can i asked po kung pwede ako agad mag appply ulit kaka refuse ko lang this week so plan to apply next month to spend christmas with my bf. i been there 5 times and this application got refused.can you help me ?
Hi ron! Can I ask you kung ano ang reason ng refusal ng tv mo kung 5 times kna nakapuntang Oz?
Hello ron… anu cause ng refusal mo? katakot naman mg lodge pa lng ako by next week! Waaaah
Ron when is the last time nag punta ka Australia? Baka kasi sa sa one year maraming beses ka nag punta? I think sa one year 3 times lang ang allowed eh.
Apply ka na lang ulit I’m sure naman ma-approved ka since you’ve been here na.
Good luck! 🙂
Hi Ron why ka na refused?tru vfs ka ba nag apply?on line or walk in?
Tanong ko lang sa mga may experience na magrant ng visa, pag through VFS po ba, naguupdate po ba talaga yung sa website nila sa application tracking kung halimbawa ay nasend na sayo ng CO ang result? Or kahit nareceive nyo na ang email ni CO, same status pa din na on process nakalagay. Salamat sa sasagot! 🙂
Pag nasend na ni CO yung result, pag track mo siya nakalagay dun nasend na sa email mo or if wala contact mo sila para masend ulit.
Thank you!
Sometimes hindi daw nagbabago yung sa status sa website, pero minsan after na send ng Case Officer tsaka lang mag change. Just check your email from time to time. Goodluck! 🙂
Thank you MGC and Marie x
Hi mga sis,
Meron po ba dito from Queensland?
🙂
Visitor Visa subclasa600 Granted!???
Thank you JustWandering/Ms. Nina and all my sissies na nakilala ko dito! I’ll be keeping in touch with you guys! ?
Nung una, natatakot ako magfollow up kasi baka makulitan sila at since Nov.02 baka kasi holiday pa. Pero sinubukan ko pa din. 🙂
I lodged it on September 30 via VFS, nareceived ng Immigration October 01, granted visa November 02 (31 days).
Nagfollow up lang ako through email: Immigration.manila@dfat.gov.au
And they messaged back right away (5minutes) saying that the decision has been made for my application.Visitor Visa subclasa600 Granted!???
Submitted Documents:
– Filled out application form 1419
– Tourist Visa subclass 600 Checklist
– Letter of Intent with Signature
– Certified true copies of my passport bio page and relevant travel pages
– Certificate of Employment and Approved Vacation Leave
– Certified true copy of my company ID & payslip
– Bank Certificate Original Copy
– Birthcertificate (NSO certified)
– 2pcs of recent passport size photograph
– Latest Income Tax Return (BIR Form 2316)
– Proposed Itinerary via Philippines Airlines
– Manager’s check for the visa application fee
(Sponsor) documents:
– Invitation Letter with Signature
– Certified true copy of my sponsor’s Statutory Declaration
– Proof of financial capacity – Bank Accounts/Statement (Screenshot only), Payslip, Business Card
– Rental Payment History
– Proof of identity of my partner’s passport bio page
– Proof of relationship (Photos together)
– Traveling itinerary with bf from our previous travelling (Domestic)
Since medyo nagiisip ako kung tama na ba or kulang pa ang documents ko. Based sa research ko, you can send more additional documents hanggang wala ka pa visa if you lodged it at VFS by sending it sa immigration email (Immigration.manila@dfat.gov.au)
Additional Documents sent October 24:
– Approved Leave of my Sponsor;
– Photos from work, like events I had;
– Future Calendar of Events lined up at work which I will be handling when I get back to the Philippines;
– Letter of Support with Signature (Father)
– Another Letter of Intent in relation to my additional documents (with Signature)
Good luck guys sa mga waiting pa!
See you in Australia! And ofcourse, ingat tayo sa tanim-bala sa NAIA. lol x

Hi Marie! Granted na visa mo? Me I’m still waiting Pero sana ma grant na this week. San ka sa Australia sis? You can add me sa Facebook ko Kristine Lalic. Thanks sis!
Hello Kristine! Yup granted na. Anong email mo or alin dun kasi medyo marami yung Kristine Lalic na lumabas 🙂
Melbourne ako sis Marie. Ikaw?
Hi Ms. Yap! Pag na grant visa ko this week I’ll book my flight this Saturday then pag next week na grant I’m planning na Saturday din. San ka sa Australia sis? You can add me sa Facebook para mas makapag usap tayo sis. Here’s my Facebook Kristine Lalic. Thanks sis! Wish to hear from you.
Hi sis Kristine. When ka nag submit Ng application?
Hi sissies ask ko lang if required ba ilagay yung reason bat babalik ng pinas. Nag dadalawang isip ako ilagay. Balak ko kasi mag extend kapag na approve visa ko. Baka hindi nila ako ipa extend dahil ang reason ko ay dahil election may tatakbo sa family ko. Thanks!
Ah. I’m leaving on 12th.
Kristine: I tried to find you, diko makita Facebook mo. I’ll send you email na lang sis.
Hi Ms Yap. Baka next week alis ko. Ikaw?
Next week din ako sis Sakura88. Direct flight to Melbourne.
Sis Sakura, when ka na aalis?
G. Oo. Mahalaga na ilagay mo ang mga reasons na babalik ka pinas. Like special ocassions, or kung may tatakbo sa family mo ilagay mo din yun. Pwede ka din siguro magpagawa ng Letter galing sa Family Member mo na tatakbo na need ka nya sa campaign period.
Kung balak mo naman magextend sa AU at hindi talaga reason mo yung may tatakbo sa family mo.
Basta ang mahalaga, maapprove ka ng visa at patunayan mo na babalik ka saka mo na isipin ang extension, pag andun ka na you can reason out naman ng bago. Ang mahalaga, nandun ka na sa Australia at maappove ka!
hi sis Sg, saang province ka? province din ako pero if complete docs lng mdali lng nman, wag n mag agent pra save.
Sis Ruby san ka sa province? Mindanao ako… hehehe

Hello po. Would like to ask for more tips on how we can secure an Aussie visa. Planning to go there by Oct next year pa naman. Me and my husband are going. Here’s our profile:
Husband
-works as an IT person in an IO for almost 4yrs
-travelled to BKK, HK, SG, Amsterdam and Switzerland with stopover to Paris, Schengen visa holder
-no ITR cert since hindi sila required to submit dahil IO
Me
-housewife and stay at home mom to our 2 kids, ages 6 and 3. Our 6y/o is a special needs kid
-online biz pero not DTI or BIR registered
-licensed Chem Engr ako but I did not practice it ever since
-travelled to BKK, HK, SG pa lang
Questions:
* Can we apply as early as January for visa?
* Should we look for a sponsor na nasa Aussie? Wala kasi kaming close relatives doon pero I have high school friends there..
* Okay na po bang intent yung sightseeing lang talaga?
* A friend na housewife din said na when they applied for visa, they showed proof na daddy niya ang magsupport ng travel nila tapos pinakita yung bank statements niya. Wala rin silang sponsor from aussie. Okay din po ba ganun gawin?
Thanks so much!
You don’t need to have relatives or sponsor to apply for a visa to Australia.
You would need to provide evidence of you and your husband’s income and savings. This can be in the form of savings account, payslips, employment certificate.
I have read accounts online of people applying as early as 6 months before your trip, which is better because it eliminates stress on your part if the processing takes more than a month. This also gives you time to reapply if your application is denied.
You can now apply online for a visa: https://justwandering.org/2015/preparation/australia-tourist-visa-online/
Hi sis Paola. Do you mean mag exit ka lang sa New Zealand then Balik din immediately sa oz? I have done that. I didn’t acquire a visa. I just stayed inside the airport then waited for my flight back to oz. If you want naman meron din transit visa para nakapunta ka sa New Zealand. I think aud100+. Not sure. You can call the New Zealand embassy. That’s what I did before I flew to Auckland.

sis Leslie https://www.facebook.com/loving2322
Hi mnga sis 🙂
Andito ako now sa Perth, mag 3 months na ko dito in 3 weeks so kailangan na umuwi. I have a 1 year multiple entry (valid 3 months per entry) Tourist Visa tas walang 8503 condition imposed.
Ask ko lang may nag try na ba kunwari mag exit, punta Bali/Singapore/HK (kahit saang malapit) for a few days tas nag enter ng Australia without being questioned? Kung meron, ilan beses nyo na-try?
Mas mahal kasi mangaling sa Pinas at mas matagal hihintayinbago magkasama ulit kasi anlayo + kailangan pag ipunan ung ticket.
Pls help at super depressed na ako na uuwi ako 🙁
Sis Jenny multiple na grant su.ano reason mo sa intent letter mo?
Hindi u ma-question khit exit lng u Hk,Indonesia or Sg just make sure you have a copy of your multiple visa
Tourist lang talaga, nag apply ako 3 months multiple. Tas un na bigay sakin 12 months multiple.
Na try mo na ba sis? Ilang beses? Plan ko kasi mag stay hangang July kaya twice mag exit pag ganun. Ilang araw sis kailangan outside ng Australia?
Khit mag exit lng u sis khit 1day lng importante mkpag exit u ng Aus.Sis ano nilagay mo sa intent letter mo at anu2 docs sinubmit mo?
Sinulat ko lahat ng gusto ko puntahan tska na uuwi ako sa pinas at babalik ako sa Aus sa January for family gathering nya.
May nakapag try na ba dito visa extension ng tourist visa?
Sis Jenny, ano email or number mo? May ask lang po sana ako. Thanks.
Adrian.esdale@gmail.com email ni partner ka nalang mag email, dun ako sagot 🙂
Hi sis jenny. Na try ko na mag exit sa New Zealand. I think 600 yung airfare. Pa book ka earlier para masmura. Hindi ako nag exit sa bali because I heard masmahigpit ang oz immigration pag dun ka nanggaling. Overnight lang ako nagstay. Sa airport lang ako so hindi na ko kumuha Ng transit visa sa nz. Pagbalik ko oz ang question lang is what did I do sa nz. Ang sagot ko coz I had to exit oz to comply with my visa condition that I had to exit every 3 months. Then no more questions asked. No minimum hours or days to stay outside oz, just as long as you will exit.
Hello mga sistah share q lng happiness q today .tv granted po kmi ng anak q lodge online october 1
Naapproved november 7
Hiningi q 3 mos pero ang bibigay ay multiple entry sobrang saya q tlga .sa mga naghihintay sunod na po kayo.
Sis Jenny if no further stay ang visa condition mo pwede mag extend
Sis lene naka try na ka ba mag extend?
Di pa sis pero ung friend ko nag extend xa 1wk before na expire visa nya.ok nman daw sis .
Ay! Talaga? Kwento mo naman sis, anong nirason ng friend mo? Iniisip ko 6 month extension kasi aalis kami sa July para sa family gathering. Masyado ata matagal?
Ang reason nya gusto nya dw dun mag Xmas sis.try mo yun i-reason out mo n attend kp family gathering.
Hi Jenny. Musta? If i were you. Kung gusto u pa mag stay a bit longer sa oz, since u got multiple, do an exit. Kc if u extend by this time, they normaly grant u another multiple within 3 months only. Means in that 3 months you can leave and back to oz within that period. And also you will lose your multiple for 1 year. I hope gets mo q.. Try to exit n lng. Para ma enjoy mo yun 1 year multiple mo.. For me.i did left oz and back again.hanggang on my last 3 months natira, tsaka aq nag extend 😉
. ingat…
Hi Ize, na try mo na ba mag exit? Gano ka ka tagal sa labas ng au? Kaya ren kasi ayaw ko umalis kasi kastress sa airport. Unemployed kasi ako tas 3 months ako dito tas babalik agad after less than 1 month sa pinas?
Hi Jen,
Never pa aq ka try mag exit to nearest country. before kc , always nman aq balik pinas kc i had responsibility there. like nman sabi iba dito na u can exit, im sure that would be easier for u nmn. sayang kc pag mag extend ka tapos e grant nila sau 3 months lng kung un request mo. mawawala n un remaining sa 1 yr multiple u,back to start u ulit apply visa sa pinas,alam u nman ang long waiting now? it depends then sa iba na mabilis 🙂 , 1 time ng nman aq nka pag extend,bali remaining ko lng un sa 1 yr na multiple ko.if u extend,u be ask for a medical xray…haha ang haba na ata ng sinabi ko. na base q lng nmn sa experienced q. 4 times kc aq nag tourist , sa dalawa nun multiple entry for 1 year.. kaya good luck sau.. kung mag exit ka or extend 🙂
Hi Ize, un nga eh. Si partner kc gusto mag extend hangang July 1 para mangaling kami sa AU papuntang UK. Ako simpleng takot either umuwi or mag extend kasi nga baka ma wala 1yr multiple. Ewan ko nalang! Thanks!
