How to apply for an Australian Tourist Visa (2013 edition)

[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.

Australian tourist visa

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.

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 sisterโ€™s pay slip
  • Certified true copy of my sisterโ€™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 everyone. Now I just lodge my application for Tourist Visa again, for the 3rd time. 1st one was my bf, we broke up. Then the 2nd time, my friends who got married there invited me to come over and was again approved. Concern ko lang, this time kc I got a new bf na nagsponsor sakin. I lodged it last Feb. 18. It will be my 3rd time so as much as I wanted to be confident, medyo scary din since baka medyo sumemplang. Is there anyone here na pang 3rd time na rin nila and was granted? How long na ba ung Visa processing ngaun? Kasi I asked the woman sa VIA center and I was told minimum daw is 1 month. Then she told me to do a follow up abt 2 weeks. Share naman ur TV timeline. TY ๐Ÿ™‚

    confused ako masyado and nahihiya na din ako magtanung.. may napagtanungan na din ako about CFO pero may nababasa din ako sa mga websites mga blogs na di naman daw talaga required ung CFO for tourist visa holder kasi para lang daw un sa fiancee or spouse visa holder..share naman ng idea nyu mga sissy.

    1. ivydels28 Avatar

      In my 4 tourist visa I never had CFO on it. But this time I got my partner visa already so about time for CFO. I have lots of friends while in their tourist haven’t got CFO. So I guess depends only. If you are in the age bracket like 25 above you can do it without. Just haven’t had a chance to get out in NAIA 1 since it’s really strict that sheyt hole ๐Ÿ™‚ Went out NAIA 2 every time I traveled.

        thanks sa reply sis @ivydels28. madami kasi ako nababasang blogs pero wala naman for tourist visa para sa CFO .lagi cnasabe walang ganun kasi for immigrants or sa fiancee at spouse visa holder lang. nakakatakot lang baka di ako payagan maka alis sa airport..22 pa lang ako. i just dont know what to do ๐Ÿ™‚ i thought everything is ok since i was already granted for my tourist visa..but I was told by someone i need to impress the immigration of NAIA and show some documents. ๐Ÿ™‚

        Hi Catraig, I had a friend in her first travel outside Philippines even with her boyfriend the immig stopped them to travel or her twice bound to Bali and Hongkong. What they did was they need to get the CFO. From then on she was allowed or I guess NAIA 2 are not that strict.. lol…. But for me you need to and save you for the next time when you really need it for partner visa or fiance visa … If you are in Cebu or in Manila madali lang yan tyaga lang. Ako nga mga 2am ako pumunta mga 6pm na ako natapos. But lesson to learn you can go there 5am.

        thanks sis ivydels. i think need ko nga mag attend ng cfo simenar just to make sure. do you think need pa nila ng original copy ng birth certificate? ng mag attend ka ba ng ganito hiningian ka nila? i only have passport and visa and photocopies of them.and also NBI clearance and postal id for requirements.

      4. ivydels28 Avatar

        No need na sis but if you have just photocopy only BC. You need to be prepared some proof.. like photos, etc.. that defines your relationship with him.

        Requirements:
        ID’s (postal, passport, NBI) any proof of your identification
        Fee – 400php
        Visa – (you need to photocopy each documents)
        Link: http://www.cfo.gov.ph/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1348%3Afiancee-spouses-and-other-partners-of-foreign-nationals&catid=140&Itemid=911

        When you arrive there facing in front of the building just fall in line in the right side of a simply slope stairs… alam mo na yon pagdating huwag don sa front door talaga basta sa gilid non right side for fiance, spouse and partner visa yon. The front door are for skilled worker or any visa bound like Canada immigrant… Kung mahaba na ang linya huwag kabahan kc if your bound Australia di lahat Australian naka pila don halo2x sya. The door will be open 7:30am So you need to be there 4:30am.

        Hi everyone.. kaninang umaga tumawag ako sa CFO office. nagtanong ako kung kaylangan ko pang mag’attend ng seminar or kung ano man yun kung under tourist visa lang ako, tapos tinanong ako nung nakausap ko kung may foreign partner ako at ano ang nationality nya. tapos sabi ko oo meron Australian..tapos sabi nya oo need na daw yun ngayon mag’attend ng seminar kung may foreign partner.. and then dun ko cnabi na may ongoing process din akong partner visa, mabuti na daw na mag’attend na ako kz magagamit ko daw sya everytime lumabas ako ng bansa.. 3 times nako nakapunta sa Oz last year, kakauwi ko lang last feb.19, wala naman naging problema. next month babalik ulit ako ng Australia still under TV, I decided better na mag’attend nako nung seminar na yun kesa biglang magkaproblema pako sa day of my flight.. tutal tumawag namam ako sa CFO para iconfirm yun.. share ko lang nalaman ko..hehe

        hello ladies, just got curious with the comments you had here. I have been travelling to OZ for 3 years on a Tourist Visa every year. I have applied for my 4th TV this May. Just want to share that when travelling for a short period of month (3 mos) , I never encountered any problem and immigration wasn’t asking for any documents like CFO. I think you need to get that if you are permanently leaving the country (migration) or will be working overseas.
        I know that everybody wants to get the cheapest flight possible but if you travel using PAL, you would not encounter any problem. maybe not all but based on my 3 trips, I encountered none. Goodluck everyone and enjoy Australia!

    Hi everyone and to Nina!
    Ask ko lang Nina, you said kasi they usually conducts interview when there is something they have to clarify abt your application. You also had missed calls from them. Did you find out kung ano yung concern nila when they tried to call you? Nagwoworry kasi ako. With my previous application eh wala namang interview. Also did the same thing as you, called them and emailed them today.
    And sa mga sissies natin. Meron ba sa inyo na tinawagan din ng embassy when you were applying for TV? Please share naman ng experience nyo. Thanks!

        Hi Nina, I was asked the same question when I applied for 6 months stay. You need to show proof why you wanna stay for 6 months or more. If you cant provide documents and a tight bond that you are coming back to PH then they wont grant the 6 months but you will get 3 months visa instead.

        Hello Ces, just curious, if I am not mistaken when a person is granted for 3 months stay then its multiple entry, it means you can exit to other country and can go back to OZ but you will just have 3 months maximum stay. Now if you already consumed the 3 months in OZ (ex: March 1-June 1) then you exited, I think they wont allow you to go to OZ. I am not sure but I have read that somewhere in the application form. I will share if I see it..Thanks,

    Hi sissies,

    been a while…:) hope everyone is well:) i just need some help from those who have applied for tourist na unemployed and without kids and granted ang visa.

    i was in oz last year to visit my bf. the company allowed me two weeks holiday and provided me with letter of loa. im still working for the same company for almost two years na but i dont think they will allow me to go on holiday this year kase super busy. my bf was here two weeks ago and he wants me to go to australia on July. next month we will apply for a tourist visa and though im still working il declare na unemployed ako kase i cant provide letter of leave of absence. ung worry ko is how i can convince the embassy that i will be back. can anyone share their experiences please? i dont have kids, family ko lang ung pwd ko ireason.

    really hope to hear from you.

    thanks:)

        hi anna:)

        enough na ba un sis kahit isang family picture lang? babalik din tlg ako kase one of my bestfriends is getting married and i will be part of the entourage. kaso wala pang inivitation letter kase sa december pa un wedding. my bf is also going overseas with his mates sa august, punta silang us. worried lang ako sis baka hindi ako bgyan ng leave ng company. so im thinking of plan B, and un nga il apply unemployed then after i get the visa il render my resignation nlng.

Pwede bang ako nalang maglodge ng lahat ng documents/applications dito sa via center sa makati? Or need talagang siya ang magfile duon sa OZ? Maraming salamat ๐Ÿ™‚

        Hi Chilyn thanks sa response..i have another problem Chilyn, I dont have any proof that we live together for a couple of months, however, last 2011 nag visit ako sa kanya for one month and now Im here in Sydney and will stay for 3 months so dun kami nag kasama sa bahay. sa philippines pag nag vivisit sya sa hotel kami..so paano un Chilyn?..7 years na kaming mag BF and GF and we just want to get a De facto Visa..possible kaya na makakuha ako ng De facto visa kung hindi naman talaga kami nag kasama ng 12 months na tuloy tuloy..Thank you sana malinawan ako..

        Hello ulit.. Isama mo nalang yung mga hotels receipt or mga proof na magkasama kayo sa hotel or kung Saan man or mga travel together kung meron kayo… Kame ng ng bf ko wala pang 1 year na nagsama nun nag’apply kame.. Naka’2 stay ako sa Australia.. Lalo na siguro kayo mas big ang chance kung may 7 years na kayo just show proofs na continue pa rin relationship nyo kahit na magkahiwalay kayo…. Ang ginawa namen humingi kame ng letter dun sa may are ng bahay na tinirirahan namen na tenant kameng dalawa dun sa nirerentahan ng bf ko, kung nagrrent si bf mo siguro pwedeng kausapin yung may’ari na gawan kayo ng letter kung Hindi naman I think Hindi naman problema yun, indicate mo nalang sa gagawin mong History of your relationship kung pano set’up nyo nung magkasama kayo sa bahay,,,,,

        glad to see your trail. we’re also planning to apply for defacto. we’ve been together for more than a year na, but haven’t lived together longer than one month. we frequently visit each other though, i go to oz or siya punta dito. we will be together for two years by time na mag apply kami ng defacto. i spoke to an immigration agent from sydney. he told me the 12 month living together requirement will be waived if me and my bf will register our relationship in his state. my worry is we dont have joint account, he doesn’t support me financially coz im working here. ok lng kaya un?

        No worries Em..ganyan din ako nuon nung ako nag’aapply..tinatanong ko lahat ng makita ko ko na nag’aapply ng de facto para magka’idea.. thats im happy to help.. Yung bf ko nagbayad nuon sa Oz, tumawag lang ata sya at yun binigay lang credit card details, pwede din managers check diko lng alm kung papano gawin yun.. Yung bayad e, more than 3k Australian dollors na.. senxa na diko na din matandaan and eksaktong amount..ill find out later then send yung link dito sa payment.. Kz kame ni bf wala pang 1year nun nag’apply kame, Jan.1, 2013 lang kame unang nagkita..so sabi para daw ma’waive yung 12mos. living together iparegister daw relationship namen sa Oz.. yun ginawa namen.. Madali lang yun gawin kaso hintay kapa ng 28days bago makuha yung cert.

      2. Em Avatar
        Em

        okay, thank you Chilyn, cguro hindi ako makakakuha ng Certificate of registration together kase hindi naman kami nagkasama ng 12 months straight sa iisang bahay..pero ask ko nalng kung pwede makakuha ng certificate since 7 years na kami mag-on.. and three months naman kase ang stay ko dito sa Australia..so try nalng namin kumuha noon.. saan kinuha ng BF mo ung certificate sa Australia, sa lawyer ba?.pasuyo naman Chilyn ask mo BF mo kung saan sya nakakuha noon. kase pag balik ko ng pilipinas mag aaply ako ng De facto..so habang nandito ako sa Australia kukunin naman kelangan na document..salamat Chilyn..

      Hello sis! had lodged my application a while ago (March 25) arrived at the VIA around 11. Konti lang ang tao and medyo mabilis naman. It would have been faster if puno ang staff dun. Otherwise, it was a breeze.

      Oh by the way, if you intend to go there using the MRT, magipon ka ng pasensiya. Had fallen in line for an hour before nakasakay sa MRT. Then it took me another 45 mins from GMA to Magallanes. MRT sucks nowadays. So good luck sa pag pila ๐Ÿ™‚

        Hello sis May ann…i had submitted:

        My documents: birth certificate, marriage certificate, certificate of employment, ITR, authority to travel (issued by my office), intent letter, 1 passport size ID pic

        My sponsor: his IDs, payslip, bank statement, income tax return, rental agreement (sa apartment niya since he is renting lang), australian citizen certificate, invitation letter…all of his documents were sent through my email. Most of them were scanned copies.

        ang pina-notarize ko lang sa docs ko were my passport biopage including the stamps therein, my ITR and ID. Tapos kumuha ako ng manager’s cheque sa BDO (I had an account there kaya madali lang ang pagkuha sa kanila) worth Php5,600.

        after mo makumpleto lahat yan, dalin mo na lang sa VIA kasi i have observed na if you personally bring it to VIA, the following day narereceive na ng embassy.

        Good luck sis may ann ๐Ÿ™‚

      3. belle Avatar
        belle

        Sis may ann, ang manager’s cheque kinukuha sa bank yun. If you have an account with a bank puwede mo sila irequest. Parang bibili ka sa kanila ng cheque. You have to include the manager’s cheque sa mga documents mo pag sinubmit mo sa VIA. ang intent letter naman, you have to tell there bakit gusto mo pumunta ng australia, ano ang purpose mo sa pagpunta dun and most of all, dapat naka indicate dun na you will abide by the condition that may be imposed on the visa that will be granted to you (like di ka mag overstay, uuwi ka rin sa pinas after mag expire ang visa etc) I hope all is clear na. God bless you ๐Ÿ™‚

      1. ivydels28 Avatar

        If Jan pa kayo in Australia planning to apply partner visa in Philippines after you get back, you can pay the visa in nearest embassy and take the receipt with you saves time than paying here in Phil.
        My partner and I did the relationship registered in Perth though we haven’t got 12 months physically at that time I think was 10 months in all including travel overseas but only have good chances if your partner is working which is busy for a fact, we had our joint account at ANZ bank and we both used it but mostly I did hahahaha that proves its active, we still renting a unit in Perth and my name is put as tenant in a lease of contract that’s includes as proof of documents, invitation in various occasion from friends that includes both our names, activities together outdoor or indoors sports or any clubs, proof of rimmetance while your in Phil, proof of conversation, more photos, when your together you must keep all the receipts.

        We did the relationship history written too each, form 888 from your friend or your partner’s friend that knew him for long at least two, if divorce you need the copy certificate certified, stat declaration, of course download the forms for the partner visa read it now coz its pain in the ass, form 80 is a must I don’t know why, your partner might get some certificate from work like employment cert that helps, your travel proof together like stickers, accommodation…

        Its too long… Hahaha if you like just let me know your emails so I can’t send my samples … Like table of contents for partner so you can arrange your defacto docu by chapter. I did mine before was like a live story by chapter with titles for easy access….

    Hello sis belle…Pwede po ba scan copies lang documents sa sponsor ko, kc ang sinend lang sa akin passport certified, driver license, child care government approval, copies of entry visas in Philippines,cinvitation letter also bank statements, pwede po kahit iyon lang?

    Ang sa akin po ba lahat dapat ipanotaryo? Salamat po

      Sis may ann, okay lang na scanned copies ang documents ng sponsor mo. um, i think you need to get his payslip (for 3 months) and bank statements (3 months rin) as well to prove na kaya ka niyang supportahan while in oz.

      Yung sayo no need na ipanotaryo lahat ng documents mo. Yung biopage lang ng passport ang kailangang ipanotarize.

    Hi sissies! I am going to buy a manager’s check na tomorrow for my visa application! Ano lalagay ko sa payable? Australian Embassy ba? Nalito ako kasi sa website at the end of the application form nakalagay ” If paying by bank cheque or money order please make payable to the Department of Immigration and border protection.” Help please!

        hello sis stella sorri for late response. same requirements lng din pinasa ko pero bago na. got single entry but for 1 yr…..mas makatipid me then no need exit exit, wala na din me medical. nung tumawag kc immi off sa akin tinanong lang me when ko plan punta florida kc nga may isinama ako duon na package holiday kc pupunta kami duon ng hubby ko. kaya yon ang sabi bakit kailangan mo pa exit entry eh gastos pa bigyan nalang kita 1 yr single entry. im happy na grant visa ko pero mas prefer kc ako duon sa multiple entry kc nga after ko 1 month stay oz need ko balik pinas then after grad ko plan ko na naman sana balik dun para maka visit kmi florida kaya dahil single lang entry lng extend nalang muna me sa pagpunta dun oz baka after grad nalang…..SALAMAT

        Hi sissies! Got my visa already! Lodged it Tues, got a text from the centre rhe next day that theyve eeceived it, Friday got my visa grant! I applied for a multiple entry but got only 3mos single entry and wala namang “No further stay” so baka mag apply nalang ako ng extension doon. Goodluck sa inyo! Im sure granted din yan!

        i have a friend single entry lang xa sa Oz, same year kami nag travel sa oz tapos sa visa grant nya may “no further stay” nag extend xa approved naman… so good luck, you can extend your stay there wala namang nakasulat na no further stay sa visa mo so may chance ka pang mag extend… i lodged my application too last friday, hope granted na naman ako…

      hi M.Sleeman, like what u have said this is your 4th time and u even got a multiple entry on the 2nd time, why do u still worry kung makakakuha kpa. im sure they will grant u a visa again dahil umuuwi ka naman before your visa expire. yung hindi nila pag txt syo cguro na delay lang, hintay ka lang. ako naman mag tanung syo what will i do so we can get a multiple entry also. thank u very much. keep blessed.

    Hello. Paano po pag apply ng 6 months multiple entry at ano po documents?. D2 p po ako australia as single entry tv. Thanks.

    1. M.Sleeman Avatar
      M.Sleeman

      Hi May,

      Much better 3 months Multiple entry lang ang kunin mo kasi sa 6 months u need to undergo medical clearance which is cost you and the processing of visa took longer pa… I been to australia 4 times and most of my visa multiple. Thanks ulit to this site ๐Ÿ™‚ ang gawin mo lang submit mo kung anu ung mga documents mo na pinasa tapos make an intent letter why you need to go to australia and bakit multiple entry ang gusto mo sa form meron question dun tick mo lang then un.. Tyaga sa pag babasa sa post na ito took thousand post pero lahat ng kailangan mo andto na ๐Ÿ™‚
