How to apply for an Australian visa

[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.

[UPDATE May 19, 2013: I have an updated Australian tourist visa application guide.

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 October 2006. 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 a lot has changed since 2006. If you ask a question I’ve already answered in the post, I will ignore you.

One of the questions people ask me when I tell them I’ve been to Australia is if it’s easy to get a tourist visa. Almost everybody in Manila have heard of stories of how hard it is to obtain a US tourist visa: compiling documents like birth certificate, bank statements, even land titles O_O, paying a high application fee, waiting in line for hours for an interview. Is it as hard to get a tourist visa for Australia as it is for the US?

Actually, it’s not whether it’s harder on not, but it really boils down to how complete your documents are. I believe all embassies would be very meticulous about all the applications they receive, and it is really important to send them all the required documents.

Be it the Australian embassy, the US embassy or the Chinese embassy, they all want to know the same thing: that you are who you say you are, that you have the means to fund your trip in their country, and that you will be returning to your home country.

Proof of identity
This of course, is your passport and your birth certificate.

Proof of sufficient funds
Bank statements, credit card documents stating your credit limit, payslip

Proof that you’re not going to be an illegal immigrant
Certificate of employment if you’re already working or certificate of enrollment if you’re still studying

If you’re thinking of visiting Australia anytime soon, head on to the Australian Immigration website to learn more about the Australian tourist visa, as well as download the necessary forms. Here are some helpful links to get you started:
Tourist Visa (Subclass 676)
Tourist Visa Charges
Visa application checklist (PDF file)
Application form 48R (PDF file)

[UPDATE April 5, 2013] Please note that as of March 23, 2013, the visa subclass for Australian tourist visa is subclass 600 and the application form is now form 1419.

      Minsan ung delay of processing visa is nasa applicant din un. Reason? Make sure na complete ung requirements mo kasi dun sila nakabase sa mga isusubmit mo. Sa case ko noon ung tourist visa ko umabot lang ng 2 days process. not included the postage. Take note me mga case officer na hindi nag uupdate sa status ng application swerte ko nga noon kasi ung case officer ko tumatawag sakin kasi ung case ko nag apply ako ng 6 month multiple hindi ako binigyan ng 6 months 3 months lang which is super ok naman saakin

        Philippine Passport No.XXXXXX

        Dear Sir/Madam:
        Im ________I would like to apply for Tourist visa to spend a holiday in SOUTH AUSTRALIA in ADELAIDE as my main destination and first point of entry, from
        (DATE).

        My purpose for travel is tourism, to see the beautiful sights especially the museums and architectures. I also look forward to experiencing the foods, learning the Aussie culture way of life style and meeting new people and to meet my Boyfriend mother I see his father before his first time to come here ( April 28,2013 to May 12,2013) and his father go back in Adelaide Australia that day (May 12, 2013) he will be taking care of my all need while im in ADELAIDE AUSTRALIA tour expenses, including the round trip air fare ,food, housing, medical insurance and all my other personal expenses etc,. My boyfriend told me too apply tourist visa before even we not meet, me and Anthony meet in online dating sites that day of November 16, 2012 I message his profile and he message me back I love him he is nice guy and kind man after that day we always talk everyday morning ,afternoon, evening , midnight. Every time we talk we finish around 1 am my time and his time 3am we have only 2 hours different time.

        Me and ANTHONY we talk almost for 6 months at that day January 3, 2013 he told me to try to apply for tourist visa and his mother gonna sponspor because that time ANTHONY have no work .All my needโ€™s she the one who gonna pay all even his mother and me not even meet yet , but he told me just try we organise all things I search and google some travel agent who can organise our things I found a travel agency its โ€œAIRLITE INTโ€™L TRAVEL & TOURS INC.โ€ they the one who organised all my things I give all my documents and my sponsor documents and after that day JANUARY 12,2013 was lodged at AUSTRALIAN EMBASSY I receive a message from my travel agent that my tourist has denied/ refuse and I received the letter from โ€œAUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT ( DEPARTMENT OF IMMIGRATION AND CITIZENSHIP)โ€ they said there not satisfied that all my documents I provided, before I apply tourist visa I find work and I hired

        but they not satisfied about my letter from my company because I start only December 29, 2012,and they not satisfied that I have no strong incentives to come back in my country at the end of my proposed visit. And that time I told to ANTHONY and his mom that im not approved to get tourist visa we all sad but its ok we still have time to apply again and that day APRIL 1.2013 ANHTONY told me come and meet me in personal he will stay for 2 months and he quit his job to come in manila .APRIL 28, 2013 ANTHONY and his father come in manila to visit me and there first time to enter my country we stay in BAYWATCH TOWER MALATE MANILA for 15 days and his father too, we go other place in around manila they see the culture in Philippines Manila and the life style of living here, i can see them that they would love to stay in manila too but they rather go back to there country ANTHONY and his father told me again to try apply again a tourist visa. MAY 12 ,2013 his father need to go back in AUSTRALIA while me and ANTHONY find a apartment in Paranaque sucat manila we stay there for almost 1 months and 13 days, while he in manila we go other place he see my family relatives, sisterโ€™s and my friends he stay until JUNE 25 , 2013 in that day ANTHONY need to go back in Australia because his visa gonna expired but he told me he gonna come back again and this time he try to bring me in Australia ,We back again in real life chat again, video call using skype, viber, facebook and some other things to communicate again. ANTHONY told me that he gonna come back on july 30,2013 until _____________ he will stay again and while he here we gonna to organised our documents for marriage and we try again to apply for tourist visa and if I approved for tourist visa i will come with him before that day ______ in AUSTRALIA . I really love to meet his mother , friends and relatives of him

        I search about how too apply for tourist visa in AUSTRALIA but I know maybe I donโ€™t have chance,but we need to try again I search and read some blog and I found one website its called โ€œjustwandering.orgโ€. I see all Filipino use that sites some people tell there story how too apply for tourist visa, fiancรฉ visa etc, they can give us some ideas and the first time I apply for tourist visa I donโ€™t know that I need to write a intent letter and tell everything know I now because some people I ask and email they told me, my boyfriend have no work but everyweek he gets a money because in other of his house he use that for a rent and he has saving so while im in Australia he can support what I need all because the last time he need to quit his job to just come and meet me and stay here for awhile and I have some proved to that I will come back in my country because my family here and my sisterโ€™s and I do support my sisterโ€™s too everytime , while ANTHONY everytime he send some money he help my sisterโ€™s too and I send them too , I canโ€™t stay longer in Australia beacause I need to go back in my country that day wen my visa expired and I use too apply for tourist visa for only 3 months ,I have lots documents to show, hope this documents I show is satisfied godbless and thank you

        Sincerely,
        NAME OF APPLICANT,

        hello am here at Qlnd Oz..then Jetstar ang sinakyan ko na plane,,depende yan if, you pay for meal. libre ka sa lahat,if u not pay,meaning wala,ok,,lang naman ang Jetstar at mura than Pal. be back sptmbr.

      2. senga Avatar
        senga

        Initially with just the plane fare, bookings for Jetstar I noticed look lower but after the taxes are added it turned out to be higher than PAL. Then you have to add meals and baggage allowances pa. PAL also has discounted flights similar to Cebu Pacific. But once you book PAL only the taxes are added, the rate already includes baggage allowances, with breakfast and can be refunded too unlike Jetstar. You will also find this in their booking sites. Right now, rate of PAL to SYD is USD 481.40 and is lower than going to PER which is USD 509.55…Last time I checked this was lower around USD 435 something but I had to wait for my visa pa and for round trip multiply by 2 because it is the same rate and multiply by the current forex rate around 1USD is to PHP 44. Wala pang Phil travel tax of P1,620.00.

      3. senga Avatar
        senga

        Sometimes nice if you wait a little longer since PAL again would release notices of discounted rates and may go even lower than the lowest I noticed earlier of USD 435 something.

        Hello to all annamarie pepito, plummy and rose and everyone else. Nagbasa ko sa inyo comments diri to get more info. I passed my visa requirements thru a travel agency dugaya uy pero kaluoy sa Lord I received a text last 5 July and picked up it up sa agency dayon. My sponsor is my Aussie boyfriend who I already met before in another trip in Bali. So maybe mas maayo mangita daan maybe online, joke ra depende ra na. Nangita ko ug barato na plane fare amo giagree na is thru PAL sa Perth man ako first destination. Mas barato ba diay sa Jetstar, morag mahal jud na sa Singapore Airlines dah. May unta ang Ceb Pacific naa na flights didto next time.

        Ako ask ba mas maayo ba 3 months jud imo kuhaon nga ticket or the maximum no. of stay didto or just get confirmed ticket nga lower sa 3 months then rebook na lang pohon. Sauna man gud ako gi 1 month katong adto ko sa South Korea unya daghan pangutana ang immigration. Ako possible departure is 19 July…thanks sa mga makatubag ani.

        Ang akoa ba napick-up from the agency 29 May around 1 pm and there was no text confirmation then as indicated in the visa grant notice, it was granted 3 July and it arrived here in Cebu and got a text 5 July am and I pick-up my passport and documents on the same day.

        Ngano man wa nay visa label ana jud na pag trip to Australia ba karon? Mas maayo ta toh if nakastick na lang sa passport para wa nay dad-on lain pa na document

        For those who were denied before I suggest that you ask for professional help, some agencies charges P6000 on top of the current visa application charges of P5,100 plus courier nga gicharge sa akoa kay P400. morag reasonable ra man sad di kaayo sobrahan ba. I can show you links of where I got my services and which possible one in Manila.

I lodged my pmv via phone June 13th, pick-up by the courier on 18th, received by the embassy on 24th, and i received an acknowledgement on July 5th. I requested and paid NSO docs, acknowledgement na lang inaantay ko. Yung medical after ko na lang manganak dahil ilang araw nlng manganganak na ako. :-). Kapag nauna ka mgpa medical please let me know kung saang hospital and the cost so i have an idea…thanks. Naglodge din pala ako ng tv nitong july 5. Goodluck sa application natin.

      My purpose for travel is tourism, to see the beautiful sights especially the museums and architectures. I also look forward to experiencing the foods, learning the Aussie culture way of life style and meeting new people and to meet my Boyfriend mother I see his father before his first time to come here ( April 28,2013 to May 12,2013) and his father go back in Adelaide Australia that day (May 12, 2013) he will be taking care of my all need while im in ADELAIDE AUSTRALIA tour expenses, including the round trip air fare ,food, housing, medical insurance and all my other personal expenses etc,. My boyfriend told me too apply tourist visa before even we not meet, me and Anthony meet in online dating sites that day of November 16, 2012 I message his profile and he message me back I love him he is nice guy and kind man after that day we always talk everyday morning ,afternoon, evening , midnight. Every time we talk we finish around 1 am my time and his time 3am we have only 2 hours different time.

      Me and ANTHONY we talk almost for 6 months at that day January 3, 2013 he told me to try to apply for tourist visa and his mother gonna sponspor because that time ANTHONY have no work .All my needโ€™s she the one who gonna pay all even his mother and me not even meet yet , but he told me just try we organise all things I search and google some travel agent who can organise our things I found a travel agency its โ€œAIRLITE INTโ€™L TRAVEL & TOURS INC.โ€ they the one who organised all my things I give all my documents and my sponsor documents and after that day JANUARY 12,2013 was lodged at AUSTRALIAN EMBASSY I receive a message from my travel agent that my tourist has denied/ refuse and I received the letter from โ€œAUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT ( DEPARTMENT OF IMMIGRATION AND CITIZENSHIP)โ€ they said there not satisfied that all my documents I provided, before I apply tourist visa I find work and I hired

      but they not satisfied about my letter from my company because I start only December 29, 2012,and they not satisfied that I have no strong incentives to come back in my country at the end of my proposed visit. And that time I told to ANTHONY and his mom that im not approved to get tourist visa we all sad but its ok we still have time to apply again and that day APRIL 1.2013 ANHTONY told me come and meet me in personal he will stay for 2 months and he quit his job to come in manila .APRIL 28, 2013 ANTHONY and his father come in manila to visit me and there first time to enter my country we stay in BAYWATCH TOWER MALATE MANILA for 15 days and his father too, we go other place in around manila they see the culture in Philippines Manila and the life style of living here, i can see them that they would love to stay in manila too but they rather go back to there country ANTHONY and his father told me again to try apply again a tourist visa. MAY 12 ,2013 his father need to go back in AUSTRALIA while me and ANTHONY find a apartment in Paranaque sucat manila we stay there for almost 1 months and 13 days, while he in manila we go other place he see my family relatives, sisterโ€™s and my friends he stay until JUNE 25 , 2013 in that day ANTHONY need to go back in Australia because his visa gonna expired but he told me he gonna come back again and this time he try to bring me in Australia ,We back again in real life chat again, video call using skype, viber, facebook and some other things to communicate again. ANTHONY told me that he gonna come back on july 30,2013 until _____________ he will stay again and while he here we gonna to organised our documents for marriage and we try again to apply for tourist visa and if I approved for tourist visa i will come with him before that day ______ in AUSTRALIA . I really love to meet his mother , friends and relatives of him

      I search about how too apply for tourist visa in AUSTRALIA but I know maybe I donโ€™t have chance,but we need to try again I search and read some blog and I found one website its called โ€œjustwandering.orgโ€. I see all Filipino use that sites some people tell there story how too apply for tourist visa, fiancรฉ visa etc, they can give us some ideas and the first time I apply for tourist visa I donโ€™t know that I need to write a intent letter and tell everything know I now because some people I ask and email they told me, my boyfriend have no work but everyweek he gets a money because in other of his house he use that for a rent and he has saving so while im in Australia he can support what I need all because the last time he need to quit his job to just come and meet me and stay here for awhile and I have some proved to that I will come back in my country because my family here and my sisterโ€™s and I do support my sisterโ€™s too everytime , while ANTHONY everytime he send some money he help my sisterโ€™s too and I send them too , I canโ€™t stay longer in Australia beacause I need to go back in my country that day wen my visa expired and I use too apply for tourist visa for only 3 months ,I have lots documents to show, hope this documents I show is satisfied godbless and thank you

      Sincerely,

        Hi Jifa, sakin 1 page lang. Ang intent letter kasi na ginawa mo ay para ng letter of history and development ng relationship nyo na required sa fiancee visa. No need to mention the development of your relationship and the past application na nadeny. Sa paggawa ng intent letter you will only mention your name, age, address, work, reasons in going to australia, intend dates, your boyfriend’s name, company na pinagtatrabahuhan nya, his address, that he or his parents will take care of your travel expenses, accomodation, and other financial needs during your stay. Mention also your reasons why you have to return before your visa expires. Attach mo din yung supporting documents sa reasons mo na babalik ka. It should be strong for you to convince your CO and be granted. Konti lang naman yung required na documents for TV so i wonder kung ano yung kulang mo nung first apply mo. Sana ma provide mo na yung kulang na yun this time. Goodluck.

      Last year ann i flied with Qantas Airways. I thought you will fly with Qantas Airways, kasi may nabasa akong post mo dito na Qantas Airways sasakyan mo (ang hirap magtagalog hahaha).. Have you tried looking for a flight with singapore airlines ann? Alam mo mas mura ang singapore airlines, ang round trip fare nila, bale Cebu-Singapore-Adelaide then Adelaide-Singapore-Cebu is P41,207.11 lang ann inclusive of taxes and meals na.. With that di ka na pupunta pa ng Manila ann.. Bukas ako magpapa book ann, this time I will fly with singapore airlines kasi gusto ko ring makita singapore kahit sa airport lang hahaha, kasi marami nagsabi maganda daw ang singapore airport.. HK airport is also beautiful and big..

      Mga P30,000.00 ‘ata nagasto namin sa Hongkong ann, kasali na round trip fare bale Davao-Clark-Hk then HK-Clark-Davao… Nag side trip din kasi kami ng Macau and Shenzhen, China… Pag uwi mo galing OZ punta ka doon ann, very nice ang place ann, di ka talaga magsisi, sulit na sulit ang gasto…Anyways, si BF ang gumasto lahat ann kasi alam niya na gustong-gusto ko ring pumunta ng HK. Next year balik ulit ako HK and kasama na si BF.. Yes, sana this week ma receive na ni rose Visa Grant Notice niya kasi I knew what she felt right now. I know the feeling kasi I’ve been to that, di jud lalim maghulat sa result (bisaya na pod hahaha). Good luck again rose, just keep on praying. Ingat & God bless..

      @ anna marie pepito,

      hello again ann, sa online nga pala ako bumili ng ticket kasi pumunta ako kanina ng ticketing outlet ng singapore airlines, aabot ng P 47,251.00 kung sa kanila ako bibili kasi may add-ons sila na service fee.. Pumunta din ako ng travel agency at mas lalong mahal ang round trip fare nila Davao-Adelaide-Davao, sa travel agency it cost P 47,850.00.. Sabi ko ang mahal, bakit mura lang on-line? Sabi noong guy na incharge sa booking “wala kasing service fee online Maam. So if I were you, if may credit card o debit card ka sa on line ka na lang bumili kasi ang laki talaga ng difference.” So, ayon, katatapos ko lang mag booked on line.. Need to print my ticket tomorrow.. Good luck, and always keep in touch.. God bless…

        hello marie11284, good evening..mura lang pag online kasi walang service fee/charge..pag sa travel agency ka o any ticketing outlet, mag charge sila ng service fee/charge kasi may mga employee sila na nag aasikaso ng ticket mo, sa on line wala…ang laki ng na save ko imagine sa ticketing outlet ng singapore airlines it cost P 47,251.00 tapos sa online it only cost me P 41,271.66, ang laki ng difference di bah?? Yon nga lang we need to have a credit o debit card pag online ka bibili ng ticket kasi sa credit o debit card nila echacharge yong payment natin…

        Sa Christies Beach, South Australia nga pala destination ko Marie… Ikaw, saan ka banda sa Adelaide? when ang balik mo doon?? thanks and God bless..

    Hi miss Nina and everyone, I just wanna share my application and need some advise, I filed my application which is form 456 sponsored business short stay visa last June 10. 2013 in ,Via center Manila. Until now no result yet. I went yesterday to via to follow up they said my docs had been forwarded and still under on processing. I’m so confused and worried why it took so long for them to decide. Ms Nina please help me what do you think is my chances. I know a bit different my situation but really I’m about to lose hope if they will my visa. Hope you have time to answer my queries. Thank you

      Do you know how can I contact the embassy by email or what number to call? I’m so depress please need your help and advice????????

      My application took a month. My advice is to just wait. They will call you if they need to clarify anything.

        hello Lagat,

        saan ka banda sa Mindanao? Taga Mindanao din ako, taga Davao.. I used to write in bisaya here with rose & anna marie pepito pero may nagagalit kasi di daw niya maintindihan sinasabi namin kaya ito trying to speak tagalog na hahaha..

      2. Nina Avatar

        Actually, okay lang sakin na mag Bisaya o Tagalog, o kung anong language kayo comfortable kasi alam ko di naman madali para sa lahat na magsulat sa English o Tagalog. Salamat na rin sa effort nyo na mag sulat sa English para maintindihan ng iba ๐Ÿ™‚

      yes anna marie, at least si Miss Nina she understands us.. thanks again miss nina sa pag intindi mo sa amin… Ahh, kaya pala sa Manila ang point of origin mo kasi gusto mo pa mag laag laag didto hahaha gusto mo ma experience ang sobrang traffic nila and the baha, sana ok ang weather pagpunta mo doon pra di mo ma experience ang baha… 20 kilos is good enough ann.. huwag ka lang magdala ng mabibigat na damit doon ka na bumili, pabili ka sa kapatid mo hahaha…

      Someday, soon you will find the right man for you ann…Just be good because In Psalms chapter 37 verse 4 it says “Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.” Musta na pala si Rose ann may balita ka ba sa kanya? may result na kaya TV app nya? Ikaw din ingat sa future trip mo. God bless..

      hello anna marie pepito, good morning, yes ann, pwede mo xa e fold gaya ng ticket mo tapos bili ka ng plastic size na mailing envelope doon mo ilagay ticket & visa grant notice mo with your passport.. Pagharap mo sa Immi officer, bigay mo na lahat, yong passport mo, visa grant notice mo & the ticket para wala na silang hihingin pa sa ‘yo.. Magpa photo copy ka din ng ticket & visa grant notice para may extra copy ka in case mawala.. ingat and God bless..

        hello annamarie pepito.. good evening…Yes, kahit ano gusto mong isoot pwede as long as comfortable ka. Ako last year naka jeans & long sleeve shirt lang (mahilig kasi ako sa long sleeve) tapos naka sleepers lang pero orig na high havs naman hahaha baka may magalit na naman dito, bka isipin nagyabang si ako..sorry po.. nag sleepers lang ako kasi ang airport dito sa davao pina pa remove mga shoes, sobrang hassle so nag sleepers na lang ako…

        about sa Immi officer sa Manila she asked me kung ano o saang government office daw ako nag work? Tapos sabi niya binigyan daw ako ng OZ govt na mag stay ng 3 months sa OZ bakit daw di ko sulitin yong 3 months. Tapos sa immi naman sa OZ ang tanong lang sa akin is “what is the name of the government office that you worked with?” pagka tapos kung sagutin, sabi ng immi officer with a smile, “Ok, welcome to Australia and enjoy your stay/holidays here,” yon lang.. Basta, relax ka lang ann, be confident and always give your best smile to them..Kung ano yong tanong, yon lang ang sasagutin mo..ingat and God bless..

    Goodpm po ask ko lang sana kung pwede ba ko kumuha lang ng one way ticket kasi bka pwde nmn ata Hindi muna ako kumuha ng ticket pabalik dito dahil ang nakalagay naman sa conditions ng visa ko sa tourist is walng no further stay so its means is pwede ako mg extend kasi 3months lang nilagay nila. And yung entries ko is multiple. Hindi kaya ako mag ka problm sa immigration if ever one way ticket lang muna kinuha ko. Pls advise me mga sis thanks! Dun ko na kasi hihintayin yung result ng PV ko then if na approved na uuwi nlng ako dito para sa bago kung visa.

      Kung tourist visa ang hawak mo, hindi ka papayagan umalis ng Pilipinas kung wala kang ticket pabalik.
