[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?

Hello mga sis.. ask ko lng mgupdate ba ang Embassy sayo kase sa akin ngpasa ako 2 weeks na kaso yung auto generated email lng nareceive ko na may tracking number.. yung lng ba ang email binibigay nila? Thanks po
Hello sis dyan mo lang e update ang visa status mo kasi binigyan kaman nila ng tracking number. Kasi jan mo din malalaman if finalized na yong visa mo at being forwarded sa saiyo kung ano result. Mine kasi before forwarded nila thru 2Go courier ang grant visa notice ko, hindi sa email. But my extension tv grant when I extend my visa in Aus, they email me the result of my visa grant. Thank you and have a nice day

Okay lang kung magkakaiba ng dates. For Form 1419, if you are not applying online, it has to be the latest version (they change the form often). So if you downloaded the form more than 3 months ago, you need to get the lastest version.

Iam a tourist visa holder now..kasi po dati way back 2011 nakapagtourist na kasi ako sa Dubai but I got there and i came here in pilippines nov.2012,. Im afraid kasi ung mga nababasa ko about oflloading..ang mahal pa nmn ng ticket..
Hi, Tanong ko lng sana po if d ba masyado strict ang airport immigration dito sa pinas going to Australia?. I had a visa already,tourist visa.kasi po dati way back 2011 nakapagtourist na kasi ako sa Dubai but I got a job there and i came here in pilippines nov.2012,. Im afraid kasi ung mga nababasa ko about oflloading..
Hi sis Jian, hindi naman sis kasi may Visa ka naman. Sakin tinanong lang kung ilang taon ako haha. 22 lang kasi ako and magisa papunta Australia, so yun lang tanong sakin tapos passport ko lang kinuha, hindi din tiningnan yung Visa or plane ticket ko. Siguro depende, pag mukha ka na kabado, baka tanungin ka pa nila kung ano-ano. Basta smile lang and be confident.
Hi Ms. Yap..Thank you.. less worry na ako now. hehe..My nakasabay kasi ako kanina sa ticketing outlet nagparebook kasi offload sila but not going to Australia parang Dubai ata yun.
Pag kasi Middle East mahigpit talaga ang Immigration kasi mostly talaga napunta dun na with Tourist visa ay maghahanap ng work. Iniingatan lang nila Pinoy sa Human Trafficking plus kahit paalisin ka nila pag dating mo naman Dubai hindi ka tanggapin ng Dubai Immigration, pababalikin ka lang din dito so dito pa lang hindi na nila pinapaalis.
Hi Sis Jian, passport lang kailangan sa immigration manila at ticket. Pagdating mo sa Australia immigration airport yon meron pa magtatanong sau , kung sino pupuntahan mo doon.ilang buwan ka mag stay. At etc. Pero mababait . Gudluck sis xxx

ces_fs@yahoo.com thank you sis
Hi sis Mikaela,
Kaka-lodged ko lang nung Wednesday. Pero before nung 2012-2014 5 days pinaka mabilis na grant application and pinaka matagal is 18 days.
Last year 39 days before I received yung grant notice. I don’t know if dahil ba boyfriend ko ang sponsor ko or mabagal lang talaga ang processing.
Sis MGC… Jan 5 na pick up sakin tapos Jan 8 nareceive ng Embassy. Visa grant Jan 21… kala ko aabot ng 1 month pero hindi.. 3 months entry lng kase nka state sa letter ko balik ako dahil attend ako reunion namin at bday ng parents ko sa May kaya siguro 3 months lng pero atleast no 8503 condition.. pwede extend2 hehehe thank God!
Yes sis! Extend na lang, apply for 9 months multiple entry if gusto mo umuwi dito sa Pinas. San ka sa Australia? Have a safe flight! 🙂
Ang Bilis naman sis Bianca.Congrats. Perth puntahan ko. Ano suburb mo . Cheers
Sino taga Perth dito?? Hope to meet you all! To God be the Glory!!! Thank God
Perth ako, Coogee. San ka sis?

Wow Congrats
hello sis josephine, may idea ka ba how long its takes pag mag apply ng fiancee visa sis…thanks!
Hi sis sigie. Processing time ng fiancee visa it takes one year
Sis Mary ano requirements na submit mo sa embassy?
hi sis lene, yung mga required documents na importante notarized bio page passport, birth certificate, marriage contract namin tapos yung sa husband ko invitation letter, pay slip, bio page ng passport niya at mga stamps ng travel niya, property title namin, pictures namin as family, passport size picture, credit card statement, bank certificate, certificate of employment and leave approval ko saka intent letter at yung mga stamps ng passport namin previous travel. ganun din nilagay ko sa anak ko.
Hi to all! Ask ko lng, in your honest opinion anu mas maganda na entry.. Single or Multiple? Single entry lng kase sakin sa pinsan ko is Multiple.. which is more privilege? Kase sabi nya mas maganda yung sakin which is single para extend nlng daw ako sa kanya kase mas magastos dahil need to excit every 3 months.. Hehe thanks! Like ko sana yung Multiple kaso Single entry lng binigay.. pero ang pinaka importante is granted yung visa ko.. aarte pa ba ako! Hahahaha
thanks sis josephine, matagal pala mag apply nang fiancee visa dito.. ano ba mas maganda sis josephine mag tourist nalang ako at mag extend nang stay aust.. or mas maganda pa din mag apply ng fiancee visa kahit matagal? pacencia sis, nagulohan kasi ako kong ano gagawin namin ni bf…thank you at God bless sayo’
Hi Sis sigie, sabihin mo sa bf mo na ganun ka tagal processing time ng fiancee. At kung ano gusto niya fiancee ba or tourist nalang. Lahat maganda naman kahit matagal , bf mo nalang pa puntahin mo dito sa Pinas. Hehehe. At sa pagkaka alam ko pwdi mo rin isabay pag apply yong tourist mo at fiancee visa mo. Tourist ka muna while waiting ka sa fiancee visa mo.cheers

Then uwi kami dito sa Pinas last December 1 lang. Tpz pina apply na naman ako ni bf ng Tourist Visa ko. Tourist2 muna ako hehe. Sana e grant ang Visa ko. Cheers…

Hello po ask ko lang po pag nag apply po ba ng tourist visa dapat po ba lahat ng document naka notaryo? At anu ano po ba mga requirements. Confused po tlga ako
Sis Azi, no need na. I’ve lodged my application pang 5th time na to, I just scan all the documents that’s needed. Goodluck! 🙂
Hello po MGC online po ba kau nag apply? Then ask ko lang po kase ung bf ko sana mag send sakin ng invitation kaso wala xa work ngaun. Ok lng po ba un? Bale my money naman ako sa account ko dto sa pinas. Ano ano po ba requirements na nid nya ibgay sakin. Salamat sa sagot?
As long he can support you sa Australia walang problem. Just tell him to send his Bank Statement, Land Title if ever meron siya. Any evidence na kaya ka niya support while andun ka sa Australia. You can try to apply for multiple pero if first time mo like what other said just apply for 3 months muna, but it’s up to you if you want to try to apply for 3 months and multiple. Goodluck! 🙂
Ayaw nya kase ako pag applyin muna kase wala nga daw xa work then nakikitira lng muna xa sa kamag anak nya. Nakakainis ako lang gumagawa ng way? Anyway, ang gastos kase kung mag three months lage ng tourist visa eh. Mahal ticket?. My nangyari na ba na 3 months lang inapply pro 1 yr or 6 months na grant visa nila? Salamat senyo mga sis

Hi sissies!!
Good news! I got my visa just now. Wohooo! Thank you lord. First time I applied for multiple and they granted it. Omg! So happy. This is my 5th application, 1st-3rd application my sponsor is my Auntie, 4th and this 5th sponsor ako ng bf ko.
For me it’s better to lodge personally than online, sa sobrang dami nag apply online I think mas mabilis pag sa VFS.
God is good! Goodluck sa mga mag apply and waiting.
🙂
congratz sis MGC
Thanks sis lyn! 🙂
Sissies,
Here are the documents i submitted for my application.
Passport Bio Page
Stamps when I travelled in other countries
Old Visa
Bank Statement
Intent Letter
Proof of our business
NBI
Drivers License
NSO Birth Certificate
Family pictures
Me and My boyfriend pictures
Itinerary under my name when we travel in Bohol and Cebu
From my Sponsor
Passport Bio Page

This is my 5th time applying for visa and first time I applied for multiple entry.
4th application boyfriend ko ang sponsor ko and this application siya pa din.
I lodged mine last week sa VFS MAKATI.
Jan 21- received by the embassy
Jan 26- I received a phone call telling me that my visa was approved and they will send me the grant notice this week, but when I checked my email it was already there.
Goodluck!
Hi sis MGC, congrats sayo! Napakabihira naman ata na tatawag ang CO to inform you na granted na visa mo to think na TV lang apply mo. I think mostly tatawag lang sila kung may kulang sa documents mo. First time ba sila na tumawag sa 5 times mo na apply? Thank you.
Hi everyone. When I used to apply TV, minsan tatawag talga ang CO to confirm or clarify some details you provided in your app. Happened when my first app,2009, and later on 2013, just always be ready to be on your phone and dapat straight answer after that they will tell u, ur docs will be delivered soon
Since then 2014 ,2015 including my kids,no calls na. And now we are on partner visa onshore. .
Congrats everyone .. Whoever going through with their apps, positive lang.one at a time at the right time….
Hi Josephine.. Miss vibering with u.. When u balik ?
Ize xxx
Ms Yap! Last year they called me also, just asked my Address and Birthday then after that they already sent me the grant notice. Hindi ko alam why they called but nung Auntie ko yung sponsor ko they didn’t call. Just last year and today sila nag call. But it’s ok no harmed naman and better they called mas naging surprising yung sakanila galing na they grant my visa. Hehe 🙂
Hello sis MGC.. Congrats! Ako thru pick up sakin dahil malayo ako sa Manila part of mindanao area.. granted din ako 10 days lng.. kala ko matagal pa hindi ko din expect pero confident ako sa pinasa ko dahil kumpleto.. Brisbane punta ko.. kaw?
Hi sis Blair, sa Darwin lang ako. Wala pang one week yung saken and I got the grant notice na. 🙂
congrats sis MGC…..wow ang bilis nagrant ng sayo sis….last week ka lng nag lodged di ba?…..anyways congrats ulit sis….
Hi sis Ashi! Yes last week lang 5 days lang after na-received ng Embassy granted na. Goodluck sayo! 🙂
Hello sis MGC, CONGRATS. ILANG DAYS LANG SAYO SIS NA GRANT KAAGAD? THANKS
Hi sis Josephine, nung 20th ako nag lodged sa VFS MAKATI then 21st received na ng Australian Embassy and just today nag call yung case officer for verification daw. He just asked my address and birthday then told me na wait daw this week lalabas yung notice but when I checked my mail it was already there.
Goodluck sayo! I’m sure ikaw na next. 🙂
Wow sis MGC ,sarap naman ng pakiramdam nuh na grant kaagad visa mo. Akin last friday jan 22 pa na being processed sa Australian Embassy manila. . Ang lucky mo sis. Congratulations again.
Si Josephine, next ka na! :DDD
Sis MGC, what’s your viber po? Please send me your number sa email ko, dealingwithlongdistance@gmail.com. May tatanong lang po ako. Salamat!
Hi Ms Yap! I think si sis Jenny already gave my number to you before. Nag message ka sa viber ko before your flight and you asked me some questions about sa immigration and what kind of stuff are allowed to bring sa Australia. If you can remember. 😉
Ms Yap! Sis, I don’t know if na post ba dito yung reply ko sayo or not. But if you can remember, Jenny gave my number to you. I’m the one who you asked about sa immigration here and sa Australia. If you still have my number just message me but if you don’t just reply to this and I’ll email you my number. 🙂
Sis MGC. I’m saving real name kasi sa phone ko not name na nandito sa blog di ko mahanap sa Viber. Please send me your number na lang po. Salamat sis! ?
I email you na sis. 🙂
@ sis Pinky hala madami na grant kahit hindi pa ng meet sis kase yung tumulong sakin sa visa is na denied siya twice dahil wala siya work dito sa pinas at hindi pa sila ng meet dahil may sakit ung sponsor niya… reason of refusal is family ties kase hindi siya ngpasa ng family pictures sa mga applications niya twice kaya denied ung 3rd time is same padin ung pinasa kaso nglagay siya ng family pictures madami granted siya.. ng explain din siya kng bakit hindi mka punta sponsor niya dahil may sakit bawal sa airplane etc… ngpasa sila medical record.. after that granted siya.. bsta siguro maganda pagka explain sa letter and convincing.. siya walang anak at walang property.. may chance ka tlga kase may mga anak ka dito and ung ang reason mo na babalik ka.. dami naman ng apply granted kahit hindi pa ng meet.. madami akong nabasa tska ung tumulong sakin sa visa ko hindi din sila ng meet.. granted sila. bsta provide everything needed bahala sumobra wag lng mgkulang at gandahan ang letter.. dapat match ang letter nyo ng sponsor mo at state nya na kaya ka nyang supportahan pag nasa Australia kna. Don’t lose hope sis kase dami din na deny pero they never give up.
Thank you sis Ozelle,nag submit naman ako ng pictures namin mag iina and ung sa business ko kaso Wala xa passport that time but this time kumuha xa sis naawa ako sa kanya kasi talagang Di xa fit to travel,and I commit daw Nya ung kanyang health just to see me
Okay lng yan sis bsta maganda lng ata pagka explain sa letter.. may friend din ako ka msg ko sa fb twice na refused dahil hindi pa sila ng meet… may work siya tapos complete pinasa niya at may sakit ung sponsor niya kaya hindi mkapunta.. ng agent siya first then second time is siya lng gumawa kase mahal mg agent sayang pera.. denied pa din family ties reason then ung pinsan niya granted kahit hindi pa din ng meet ng sponsor nya.. baka sa pag explain ng letter yung convincing tlga… even ng submit siya ng family pictures din eh denied pa din.. same lng ung reason bakit na denied family ties.. or kulang lng tlga sa explanation. Sino CO mo? kase same lng yung humawak sa application nya puro denied.
Sis Ozelle may smart ka?or viber?thanks ha
Hello granted visa ko………….!!!! Thank you God for all the showered blessings. Walang update sa email or dun sa vfs tracking later on ng iba status then after 15 minutes may email immigration manila.. nanginig nga ako sa takot.. haha salamat Lord! Pansin ko mga hapon lumabas ang result noh? heheh ever 3pm on wards. Sa wakas stress free na. Good luck sa lahat
Ask ko pa mga sis pag nag walk in ba kylangan i submit na lahat ng mga reuqirements sa araw na yon? Or papabalikin kpa? Nid ba ng medical?
Yup! You need to gather all the documents before you lodge your application. Just make sure photocopy lang lahat submit mo. You don’t need medical if 3 months lang ang stay mo sa Australia.
Mas gusto ko mgpasa thru pick up.. for me lng ha kase onhand yun application tapos hindi limited same sa online but it depends.. kaso ako meticulous when it comes sa ganito dapat perfectly clean and organized hehe tapos ako tlga ng aarrange sa lahat check ko bawat sulok ng application ko na madaling iaccess.. or it depends din sa documents na pinasa.. some cause of delays daw kase is yung lack of documentations minsan ung ibang CO hindi na nang hihingi ng additional documents diretso bigay ng result. Malayo ako sa Manila eh kaya pick up ung akin.. hehe
Congrats sis Nadia! Congrats saten! Hehe
Yup either walk in or courier is better than online, that’s my opinion.
Sis MGC, tumawag sayo? sakin wala diretso email lng. Hahaha 1 way lng din kase ung avail ko eh..sa tracking lng ako nkadepende everyday dun nakoi nakatambay sa email ko. Haha then nagulat ako dahil ng iba na ung status haha pag check ko sa email wala pa after ilan minutes nandun na may ng email immigration.. dadalawang isip pako kase kinakabahan akong buksan pero thank God granted.. wala akong reaksyon kase kinakabahan ako sa nginig hahahaha
12 months yung click mo sis MGC? nanghingi ba sila ng medical? sakin 3 months lng kase para hindi halata hehe extend2x nlng buti no 8503 condition
Yes sis Nadia, 3 months yung nilagay ko. I don’t have 8503 din. I can’t stay sa Australia more than 3 months kaya mas ok saken multiple. Si sis Danica, she asked for 6 months so she need medical kasi walang uwian. 🙂
Salamat sa mga sagot nyo mga sis ?
Hi mga sis, 1st time ko po magaapply ng TV pero were planning na mgapply po sana ng Partner Visa (subclass 820) habang nasa australia po ako, ano po ba ang mga kaylangan or any tips sa pag apply po ng PV onshore? Thank you.
Just gather all the docs. No tips actually, cause processing all the same depends to your situation .
Hi Sis Ai, I miss you. Sa wakas nakita na kita dito sa blog again. Nag viber ako gamit ang Philippine number ko sis, pero parang matagal na hindi muna ginamit viber mo. Pagbalik ko sa Oz tatawagan kita. Mga March balik ako if maawa ang embassy e grant tv ko sis Ai.Cheers!
