[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?

i just want to share my own experience about getting a tourist visa subclass 600 . hope this will help for those who wants to lodge their application.
I Lodged my application january 15 at via centre allegro, the nextday(January. 16) I received a text from PIASI that my application has been received by the australian embassy..I waited for their call for 4 days…but I didnt received any..even text from them..until january 21 ..at 10 am in the morning I received a text again from PIASI..that my application has been dispatched to the courier and will be delivered in a few days. But I was so surprised after 1 hour that I received a text from PIASI..here comes the air21 with the result…. 🙂 i thought i was going to wait for 3 days for them to deliver it to me..
anyway i wasnt even confident about the visa if it will be granted..i keep on praying and asking God for a miracle…
why??
I only submitted
the form..
photocopy of my passport(scan lang yun)
photocopy of my birth certificate
picture naming dalawa ni hubby sa palawan.
picture (passport size)
letter of intent..
bukod dun wala na. wala nga akong sinubmit na bank statements kasi wala akong pera sa savings account ko..even sa work wala din akong work dito sa pilipinas..
but si hubby ko is kumpleto sa mga documents nya. i thought i have to wait for 1 month or two kasi nga di naman ako kumpleto sa requirements… but thanks god..kasi in just 6 days lang na approve visa ko for 3 months .for those na first time pa lang mg apply ng tourist visa. dont lose hope… hindi naman ganun kahirap.keep on praying guys .goodluck and godbless us all.
Catcraig congrats sis! question how long is the eligibility of the visa given to you? plus do you have a “no further stay” condition?
wow, thanks for this post sis catcraig, good thing i stumbled on ur comment. nabuhayan ako ng loob. im not exactly sure what to send kac, i was confused about my employment status since I am a freelancer and working online. i am going t0 lodge my application by the end of this month (february) and hoping to fly in April. Wish me luck. *crossing fingers*
Btw, for the intent letter does it have to be long-winded, elaborated, as to how i met my fiance or pwede lang po ba specific info why do I want to visit OZ? Anyone who could post here a sample would be much appreciated. Thanks thanks thanks much po. This site is really a big help for me.

ay wow jan kana plaa pinas rose? musta na pmv mo tanggap mo naba? hope soon sis. sensya na now ko lang nabasa reps mo sakin sis wala kasing notification dun sa email ko. thanks sis ha sa idea kala ko kc 1 yr ako mag antay b4 apply new visa. plan ko kc sis pag-uwi ko pinas by feb 23 by first week of march siguro plan ko apply ng multiple visa sis while waiting for my annulment dito ko nlang antayin sa oz. tsaka kung pwede kami makasal dito ng kahit under multiple tv ako after ko matanggap resolution for my annulment dito nalang din ako pachange ng surename ko sa brisbane phil consulate from xhusband name to single pero wait pala me 6 to 8 weeks bago makuha new passport. tsaka medyo mahal pala dito apply for partner visa after wedding namin it cost 4,500 kc tv holder lang unlike if pmv holder 1,400 lang ata yon diba? sabi kc ng fiancee ko sis pag mag-apply daw kami ng pmv sa pinas after my annulment it takes maximum 8 months pa daw unlike if while waiting for my annulment here in oz diretso nalang daw pakasal. im not really sure sis is panu ba. no idea pa nga me ng about sa NOIM. sya nga pala sis if ever machange yong mind ko at need ko ng pmv application yong yong NOIM sis kasama ba yon sa requirements talaga? it means kailangan pala ng finacee ko punta sa registry birth sa kanila para magfile kc parang kasama ata to sa requirements eh. Yon nga ang iniiwasan ng fiancee ko kc madami daw masyado requirements sa pmv hehehehhe But God knows kung anung will nya para sa next step na gawin ko sis.
Amping diha sis
angel hello musta na/..? oo sis dito na ako sa pinas, 2 days more to go feb na! lol.. ung sa pmv qo stil waiting sis, pero ung co nag email sa akin after 1 week daw finalized niya pmv, qo.im excited but at the same time kinakabahan din,,. pray for me gel.. gdluck 2me.. update ko kayo pag na receive ko na pmv qo…
anaway about sa tanung mo sis. oo sis kailgan mo talaga kumuha nang noim kasi kasama yan sa requrement for pmv.. yan nga ang hiingi sa co ko ung addtional docs na hiningi sa co ko.. at doon ko pinadala sa oz by post office.. kasi nasa oz ako dat time as tv/.. madali lang nman kunin yan sis.. ung f mo pumunta don sa civil registry may fill upan kayo don na form.. then makuha mo agad2x ung noim, may bayad sis 100 plus atah in aus kalimutan ko .. basta around 100 sis….
about nman sa, multiple sis.. nka depende din yan sa case officer na naghandle sa app.. mo.. may iba ngah kahit 3 months lang ung kinuha nila but pero binigyan cila nnang multiple like dessy.. 1st niya mag aply biigyan ciya multiple sis.. oo sis pueding2x ka din, magpaksala dyan while ur tv holder, then f ung tv mo f wla sa condition no further stay u can lodge onshore sis.. paga natapos na ung annulment mo..hope soon matapos na din ung annulment mo sis.. nka depende din kasi an process sa pmv sis.. may iba it take 3 months grant agad, may iba din 8 or 9 months.. pero nka dsepende yan sa requrements na sinubmit mo at sa case officer din sis.. hope it helps.. lets just keep in touch here sis.. ikaw din sis god bless and amping sad !
hi sis rose, ibig sabihin ba nun if yong multiple entry visa ko if walang condition na NO FURTHER STAY yon yung sabi mo na pwede me apply ng onshore? anu yon onshore sis? tsaka yon ba yong para hindi ko na kailangan mag exit every 3 months? if ever naman magexit every 3 months saang country kaya pwede? anu kaya sa new zealand kung pupwede kaya yon kc malapit lng eh kahit balik agad bast lang ba nakaexit diba? or singapore talaga ako exit. sa ngayon sis pinag-iisipan ko pa kung anung visa applayan ko pagdating ko pinas kc ang plan namin f ko while waiting for my annulment apply ako mulitple visa para kung sakaling ok na annulment ko dito nalang kami pakasal. then apply for partner visa. yon bang partner visa sis yon na ba yong tinatawag na temporary 820 ata yon kasama na permanent sa application. ang tanung ko naman kc pag naglodge na kami dito oz ng partner visa ilan gmonths na naman kaya antayin namin nun? then ang issue pa kc while on process here ang partner visa di pwede pagwork, unlike if dumating ka dito under pmv allowed ka magwork. Hay naku sis tiyagaan lang talaga noh? but atleast im happy now kc im with my fiancee sinulit sulit ko talaga sis sayan gnga at diko macompleto 3 months dito kc need ko na bumalik pinas for my court appearance. minsan naman skype tayo sis. pahinge skype id mo sis email u nalang pls sa youtube account ko. salamat si, i will pray na ok na pmv mo
god bless
angel musta na? btw about sa tanong mo ung onshore sis is dyan ka sa oz maglodge submit sa documents mo sis for ur pv, if offshore nman, sa pinas ka maglodge.. if wlang no further stay condition sa tv mo pueding2x ka mag lodge sa oz.. f may nkalagay no further stay sa tv mo dapat ka umuwi at sa pinas ka maglodge sis.. f multiple ung tv mo pudi ka sa singapore na mag exit as long as may tatak sa pasport mo. na nag exit ka!.. if sa newzealand ka mag exit u need a visa sis.. mas mabuti sa sinagpore ka nlang mag exit.. at ung process nman sa partner visa sis 6-9 months pero nka depinde din sa documents na sinubmit mo at sa case officer.
.at yes pueding2x ka mag work while partner visa ung hawak mo .. pero f tv nman hawak mo di ka pa puedi mag work sis..yong temporary 820 sis. is temporary vsa yan sis.. after 2 years maghintay ka para permanent.. f ung plano niyo.. na f multiple ung visa mo at wlang nkalagay na no futher stay sa tv mo. pueding2x ka sa oz magpaksal, at sa oz na din maglodge sa spouse visa mo once natapos na ung annulment mo sis.. then exit ka sa sinagpore after stay mo dyan ervy 3 months din balik ulit sa oz.. 1 year kasi ung validity nang multiple tv sis.. pag uwi mo aply ka nang multiple sabihin mo nlang sa form na may plano din kayo pumunta like newzealand, for holiday.. im sure bibigyan ka nang multiple sis.. btw god bless sis ingat!
ah ganun pala yon sis if duon sa condition walang no further stay pwede dito na me maglodge ng onshore but if may nakalagay na no further stay it means sa pinas pala talaga maglodge. pero yong multiple visa sis walang kinalaman eto sa onshore? kc akala ko yong multiple visa every 3 months ka lang exit. medyo naguguluhan lang me sis kc sabi nila if nagpakasal daw me dito oz under tv visa after kasal so need ko apply for pv pero sabi nila while waiting dun sa pv need to daw bridging visa for the main time while they are studying my application for pv. tsaka not allowed daw pala magwork eve on process na pv kailangan pa pala antayin yong granted kana sa pv para makapagwork. unlike if pmv holder ka from pinas then pagdating mo dito oz anytime ka makawork. medyo nalito tuloy ako now. ang reason kc bakit multiple visa applayan ko para may time pa ako while waiting for my annulment here in oz then if may result na tsaka ora mismo kami pakasal after machange yong surename passport ko. kc kung uuwi pa me jan pinas then lodge pmv takes 6 to 8 months pa daw bago magrant so medyo matagal sya. sya nga pala sis kelan balak nyo pakasal dito oz? after nuon apply na kayo pv (temporary & permanent) anu naman yong bridging na tinatawag nila?
daghan kaayo salamat rose ha? atleast na share nimo imo idea sa ako.
at salamat din sa site na’to ni ms nena
god bless
angel bringing visa means is if sa oz tayo nag lodge while wala pa ung result sa 820 mo.. bibigyan ka nang bringing visa, before if malapit na expire ung partner visa, mo . para f gusto mong lumabas nang bansa like going holiday, puding2x puedi ka makalabas kasi grant nman ung bringing visa na binigay sa embassy sa yo.. nlaman ko lang din nman to sa forum, at sa mga kaibigan ko sa oz.. fiancee visa cila after nila makasal, nag aply din cila 820.. for tr.. then f wla pa ung result bibigyan ka nang bringing visa.. yan ang pagkakaintindi qo.. pag multiple ung tv mo pudi ka sa oz magpaksal while ur tv, and maglodge na din. at sa singapore ka mag exit afte 3 months din balik ulit sa oz..
no worries gel share ko lang ang mga nalalaman qo/. hope it helps.. god bless xxooo.. ikaw din ingat
hi sis rose, thanks sa info sis, kaya nga medyo malito lang me pero atleast medyo naliwanagan ako sa reply best adviser ka talaga sis rose. musta na pala update visa mo tanggap mo na sis? sya nga pala sis if magrequest na yong co. natin ng medical pila napud ato magasto bayad sis?
no worries angel share ko lang mga nlalalman qo.. god bless sis
angel no worries share ko lang mga nalalaman qo.. ayaw ko din maging selfish sa kapwa pinay na humingi nang tulong sa atin.. anaway about sa medical sis, 2680 psos ang nabayad ko medical ko sis last year.. wala pa sis eh! hoping to see more visa grant pmv today until nextweek i keep on praying here sis yesterday pumunta ako sa santo nino dito malapit sa amin na nag mimilagro, nag wish ako sis.. sana dumating na pmv qo.. ds week, o ds month bsta approve.. god bless sis
Hi sis rose,
kaya nga thanks sis rose. sana dumating na visa mo sis. i will pray for that sis always na matanggap mo na. sya nga pala sis nalito ako duon sa tv holder na nagpakasal dito oz kc umuwi pa daw sya pinas at naglodge sa pinas ng partner visa nya. kala ko kc sis after got married here in oz pwede kana apply agad ng partner visa no need na uwi pinas kc diba multiple entry naman me. thanks you sis
angel thankyou sis 🙂 .. baka ung nalaman mo single entry lang ung tv niya.. at may nakalagay sa condition no further stay kaya di talaga puedi na sa oz ciya mag lodge for her spouse.. yan din kasi sa akin sis.. single enty ung tv ko umuwi ako sa pinas para dito maglodge.. f multiple nman ung tv mo puedi ka maglodge sa oz sis.. at puedi din na di kana sa pinas mag exit then balik ulit sa oz…
siguro nga sis baka single entry lang sya. naguluhan nga ko kc yon din pagkaka-alam ko na if multiple tv holder pwede maglodge ng PV kaso sabi nila pag naglodge daw PV automatic notvalid na daw yong multiple visa kaya back to phils daw. hehehe then mag issue daw ng bridging visa a then bridging visa b naman if gusto ko magtravel. tsaka di pala pwede magwork while on process ang PV unless tanggap mo muna temporary visa allowed na magwork. sy anga pala sis alin kaya mas mabilis process if pinas maglodge? PARTNER OR PMV? then yong mga requirements halos the same naman noh? nalito lang ako duon sa booklet na sabi need health check all members family. aang pagkakaintindi ko baka yong dependent lang diba? like my daughter and mom. pero baka madami pa kc hingiin na documents if partner visa applayan
thanks sis
ah okay sis kala ko kc pag naglodge via center compulsory ang managers check. same lang pala tayo sis ako sis yong f ko lng din nagbayad dito oz using his card then scan nya lang sa akin yong receipt. if nag-apply kaya me ng pmv or partner visa sis then dependent ko daughter ko 10 yrs old diba free ata yon unless if she is over 18 y.o…..ngayon panu kaya ang mangyari sis if approved na visa namin pero di ko pa sya pwede isama kc diba for a start need ko settle life ko with my husband tsaka di kc me makapagwork if isama ko sya. If darating na time na stable na me dito oz let say in 2 yrs ok na lahat then tsaka ko pa sya kunin valid pa kaya yong visa na na-aaproved or apply na naman me ng panibago tapos baka may bayad na?
may idea ka bout that sis?
thanks sis rose
hello sis rose ask lang if naglodge ba ng pmv or partner visa via center yong term of payment sis anu gamit mo? yong sa tv ko kc dati dito lng nagbayad f aussie using his card. then application ko nuon for pick up air21. if lodge via center ba needs talaga ng manager’s check? yong sayo sis managers check gamit mo or same before ur f card lng din din oz sya nagbayad?
thanks
angel sa via center ako nagsubmit then ung payment ung f ko ang bumayad sa oz using his card pareho lang diin sa inyo never ako nka trry mag pa manger cheque sis, even noong aply koo tv twice lagi ang f ko nagbabayd using his card din pinadala lang niya sa akin ang resebo..
oo sis di ka puedi mag work f di ka pa pmv holder or spouse kahit na on process na ung pv mo, kasi sa record nila tv ka pa sis.. sabi nila f sa pnas ka maglodge sis, mabilis daw.. dependi sa requements sis, at sa co.. if may anak ka sis kahit di kasama sa aplication mo, they stil need to undergo medical sis..
angel dati kasi free ang dependent… now may bayad na kasi sis pero di ko alam magkano. kasi mag friend ako kakaparoved lang nang pmv niya last month, may dependent ciya sinama niya sa application, may bayad daw sis.. di bali nagtanung ako sa knya.. puedi nman sis na mo pa ciya puedi isama sa application mo pero i think kaiilagan mo gumawa nang explanation letter sis kong bakit di mo pa ciya isama sa application mo.. then after 2 years puedi mo na ciya ikuha, kailagan mo ciya i aply nang pnibago visa sis.. di ko alam anung tawag wala ako idea sa ganyan sis.. kahit mo mo ciya kasama sa application mo sis she stil need to undergo as well a medical sis…
sad ngah ako today sis kasi di pa nga dumating pmv qo plus ung close ate ko umalis na din pabalik La .. ciya lang kasi ung kapatid ko na laging umitindi laging kumausap sa akin psotive person kasi un, mabait ung isa ko sis walang pakialam .. sana dumating na pmv qo. ciya kasi ung nag encourage sa kin lagi.. anaway sis god bless ingat

hi may tanong ako mga sis,nbasa ko lahat ng mga comments nyo,nkakatuwa,me and my fiance planned to apply for tv,and we use agent to help us,sbi ng agent nmin next week issubmit na nila yung documents ko,andami nmin kinailangan for tv,,ang nklgay na departure ko sa form is march 15,…kapg first timer ba mhirap mgrant ng visa?i pray na mgrant ang tv ko,give me comment nman pampalakas loob,
hi sis angie..sa experience ko…share ko lang. first time ko ng apply ng tourist visa..at di kame kumuha ng agent ..ako talaga ng asikaso at ng lodge.sakin kasi di din ako kumpleto ng requirements nila..sa tingin ko lang di naman sila ganun ka strict..6 days lang na grant na agad ung tourist visa ko. just be positive..basta kumpleto ung documents ng hubby mu..ok na un.keep on praying sis…prayer works. goodluck
halimbawa ngrant ang tv ko,may nklgay ba don na date kung kelan ako dpat umalis ng pinas or depende un sakin?
alam na nung embassy un kung kaylan alis mu.nakasulat naman cguro un sa statutory declaration ng hubby mu at letter of intent na pinasa mu.yung sakin kasi walang nakalagay dun.ang nakalagay lang kung kaylan ako dapat bumalik dito pilipinas.
sakin kc sis april 11 nilagay ko ..kaya nung ma grant.ng pa book kami agad ng april 11.naka book naba flight mu?
hindi pa sis,advice kasi ng agent nmin mgpabook ako kpag ngrant na ang visa ko. dun sa form ko ang nklgay na alis ko ay march 15, this week issubmit na ng agent nmin yung tv application ko. sana mgrant ako.
ma gra grant yan sis for sure..keep on praying..and be positive…pag na grant pwedi na kau magpa book ng flight march 15 or 16.
goodluck 🙂
actually sis ganito kc un,this feb.15 dating ng fiance ko,stay sya dito ng 3 weeks for our wedding,kya ngapply muna kmi ng tv so i can come to oz and be wth my hubby as newly wedd,i stay positive and pray na mgrant tv ko.
Congrats sa wedding nyu sis. be confident..complete naman cguro ung documents ng hubby mu tska may agent pa kayo na ng aasikaso.so im sure approved un. anyway ilang months ba request ng tourist visa mu? 6 months?
sis catcraig first time mo rin pla,ang nilgay mong alis is april 11,kelan ka nglodge ng tv mo,ang ur blessed to received grant letter in 6 days.
yes sis first time ko yun.. nitong january 15 ako ng lodged ng application ko sa allegro via centre sa makati. naka received ako ng text from PIASI na na received na ng Australian embassy yong application ko january 16,nag wait ako ng 4 days..pagka january 21 naka received ulit ako ng text from PIASI na dispatched na daw ung documents ko and for delivery na in just few days..tapos after 1 hour mula ng ma received ko yong text from PIASI dumating na agad yung air 21 with the result..i thought mag aantay pa ko ng ilang days ulit..unexpected sya for me 🙂 kasi first time ko and i was expecting siguro aabutin ng 1 month bago ko makuha yung resulta..but thanks God.. 6 days lang na grant sya . balitaan mu ako ng resulta sayo ah…wag mu isipin masyado kasi approve naman yan..keep on praying sis.
hi sis angie, about your quiry sis madali lang sis depende lang din kc yan sa co na may hawak ng application mo. yong sa akin dati sis for pick up ng air21 then 10 days approved visa basta surprised nalang kc wala man sila text kung approved. ask lang how much bayad sa agent? package na ba sis?
salamat sis

Hi all… nakita ko po tong site na ito. I tried to read all the post in here kaso ang haba na po… May gusto lang po ako malaman. Ung bf ko kasi Australiano and gusto nya papuntahin ako dun for 3 months sa australia. Nagsent na say skin mga docs niya.. pati letter of invitation and etcs.. Ung sa akin na lang po kulang. Tanung ko lang, once ma comply ko na ung mga docs ko, from here, where will I go? Meron ba forms na dapat ko fill-upan? kung meron, where can I get it? and how about ung submission po ng mga reqs? Who can help me with detailed step by step kung panu mag apply for a tourist visa will much be appreciated. Thanks.

pa print mu sya saka ka mg fill out..tapos lagay mu ung form sa brown envelope, kasama ng mga requirements mu..at ung mga documents na na-e send na sayo ng bf mu. pagsama samahin mu sila lahat..tapos mg pa issue ka ng managers cheque at pwedi ka ng pumunta sa via centre sa allegro sis..hanapin mu ung complete address sa google sis..pag andun kana sa allegro ibigay mu sa kanila ung documents mu..tapos e-aasist ka nila..u need to pay P700 for the handling fee pero kung gusto mu pa pick up…if ever malayo ka sa makati…u need to pay also..di ko alam kung magkano.pag na lodge mu na antayin mu lang text ng PIASI …hope this help sis and goodluck..

hi mga sis myroon ba sa inyo dito na approved ng tourist visa for 3 months at nakapag extend ng another 3 months ulit? anu mga kaylangan ipasa sa embassy ..
at san kami pwedi magbayad.. single entry lang ako at walang no further stay na nkalagay sa visa conditions ko .di ko kasi mahanap sa internet.
Hello mga ateng, binasa ko ho lahat nang mga comments and replies ninyo, salamat po they are really helpful.. Heto po ako almost 3am na di pa po ako makatulog, lately na stress po ako sa visa na to, I always tell myself to be patient pero im so restless talaga i really crack under pressure nagka pimples na nga po ako.. Meron po akong Migration Agent, so me and bf started gathering all requirements since last month at last na i lodge napo yung TV application namin nung monday (Feb. 3) then I got a text from PIASI na all my docs are already in the Australian Embassy kahapon (Feb.5) lagi po akong nag aalala, I really want to buy gifts to my bf’s kids already and sa parent’s and sis nya kasi i dont wanna meet them the first time that I am empty handed, pero pinipigilan ko po sarili ko, andami ko na pong gustong gawin pero ayaw ko po ma disappoint if things will go wrong sa visa ko po masasaktan po talaga ako.. My bf always tell me, it’ll be alright, it’ll work out okay? Just be patient we are almost there, we are almost done.. I was hoping to spend Valentine with my bf if God will allow this will be the first time i get to spend Valentine’s day with someone I love.. I ask prayers mga sis. I am kind of distress po kasi.. :(.. I pray for the Officer who is handling my documents that God will touch his/her heart and soul to approve my visa, this prayer will be for all you mga sis na naghihintay. My visa is already granted in Jesus name and I wholeheartedly accept it.
