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.

        Sis Ais, sorry to hear that. Pro you can apply any time you want as long as nkpg gather ka ng bagong docu to be presented. We have the same case before, I do not have an intent letter and picture and the main reason din is the da same na bka dw d na me bumalik ng pinas. After a year after planning what to do and gathering all the docu I lodge again. Intent letter, pics of me and my partner, pics of us with my kids, pics of us with my famiky and relatives, as in so many photos kng isinubmit, then I do not have a bnk acct but I have 2 work here and as a single mum I do need to be back for my family and for my work.
        Apply lng ulit sis, after you gather all the documents.
        God bless us all

      Hello Jhay, pwede ka naman makapunta dun at maraming possiblity para sayo:
      Willing ba sila iinvite ka? Tourist o sponsorship. wait ko sagot mo bago kita mapayuhan. Baka sakaling makatulong ako, mahilig ako magresearch, isa pa ako lang nag asikaso ng visa ko, 2 days lang meron na. Siguro swerte lang, pero minsan dapat talaga may strategy.

      Looking forward to hear more from you.

      Hi sis Ais ganyan din nangyari sken last july when i applied for a 3 weeks tourist visa. Nirefuse ako kc lack of famiy ties daw at wala ako proof of sufficient funds. Pagkakamali ko din naman kc nag include ako ng photos kso di ko nabanggit sa intent letter ko ang tungkol sa family ko. So after a week ng mareceive ko refusal nag apply ako ulet. Gumawa ako ng magandang intent letter. Pinunan ko lahat ng nakalagay sa refusal ko. I provided my bank statement at nag ask ako ng letter from my Aunt confirming na dapat ako bumalik. At inassure din ng sponsor ko na babalik ako within the duration of my visa. Then after a month of waiting nareceive ko na din ung visa grant ko. And last Sept i went to Australia na with my bf. i spent a month there at last week i lodged another tourist visa application. Wishing and praying that it will be a grant again. Keep on trying sis! Good luck

    Hi Ais! I’m so sorry to hear about your refusal. You can re-apply again anytime. Amber is right, punan mo lahat ng nakalagay sa refusal letter.

    Is the invitation letter of your sponsor – a statutory declaration? If not, make one to be signed by Justice of the Peace and pa indicate mo din dun na he will make sure that you will be back before your visa expires. Then gawa ka ng bonggang intent letter. Good luck!

      thanx D, no. it’s not stat. of dec. huli na kasi nong nakita ko ang blog nato…maganda ang docs.ko pero un ang wala ako…simple inv. letter lng addressed to them…at wala ring intent letter at pics with fam.and friends kmi lng talagang 2 and my daughter…walang ibang cnabi kundi un lng may possibility na di ako umuwi….sa finances sa sponsors wala siyang comment…at ung part na kung may other name daw na gnamit sagot ko no dahil hindi ko talaga gnamit married name ko eversince…dpt cguro nilagay ko na lng….thanx so much guys…please pag meron ditong pareho ko ang naging situation please help me out…God bless! congrats tine..

        lynn

        Hello sis Aiz, Im sorry for your refusal. Kailangan talaga ung intent of letter sis kasi dun mo kasi e explain sa kanila ang purpose ng trip mo and and also the reason na babalik ka ng pilipinas, and yes also your bf will also need to make an invitation kasi formality nya un na iinvite ka nya at sya mag shoulshoulder lahat ng expenses during your stay here in aussie. And also kahit d mo ginamit ung last name ng ex husbabd mo you still need to put it in the application sis..even me I never had chance to change my passport last name to my ex name but still nilagay ko parin dun and also our baby name kasi parang honesty narin kasi un na d declared mo lahat. Supporting documents alone cant do it sis you need a intent of letter..kasi parang no manners kc un sa kanila na aaply ka pero ala ka man lang pasabi or sharing bout the visa ur getting..u need to write one..share mo ano interest mo sa country nila..like..culture..food..theme parks..shopping..goodluck sis..apply ka ulit okey. God bless.

      Hi tine, last time experience q was I arrived in Sydney and took connecting flight to Perth. D2 aq sa Perth ngaun so yeah pwd ka mg.arrive sa ibang state. Dq LNG sure about sa transfer mo by bus or train to Adelaide bka kc kilangan stamp sa passport mo. Mkikita kc sa stamp if san state ka ng.arrive at dq sure if my link ba un sa visa mo. Try mo ask bka alam ng bf mo then you can take train to Adelaide pra more adventure. If not you probably get direct flight to Adelaide or connecting flight if you want to stopover in Sydney..
      Good luck ๐Ÿ™‚

        There is no set amount, but a good guide would be to set aside $100 for each day you will be staying in Australia.

    Ms. Nina and to other sisters here, woul like to ask, im planning to get a visa stamp on my passport. Ask ko lng po kng Via Centre pa rin ako punta and is it payable gamit ang Manager’s Cheque? And how long is the processing. I know that e-visa na sila but still want it to have in my passport. Thank you po. God bless us all

    1. Nina Avatar

      There is no specific instruction on how to request for a visa label in the Philippines. You can read the details about the application here: http://www.immi.gov.au/Help/Pages/Visa-Labels.aspx
      And download the form here: http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/1405.pdf

      You’d have to call the Australian embassy or VIA to ask where you can file the application. I hope this helps!

      hi amber, multiple din ako kso mejo confuse ako kung pano ba to nagwowork. tumawag ako aus embassy today kso australian officer nkausap ko so hindi ako masyado nkapag express ng hinaing ko. haha basta sbi nya i can stay daw 3 months every visit, tpos since wala naman daw nkalagay kung ilang days dpat ako outside aus before bumalik sbi nya i can fly out this day then go back tomorrow then stay 3 months again. hahaha ang kulit nya nga eh. tpos ung last date to arrive ko is Nov. 15, 2014 sbi nya i can go to aus like Nov. 10 then stay 3 months up to feb 2015. ang restriction lng talaga is bawal maglodge ng other visa inside aus.

      Ganun ba tlaga? what do you think sis?

        I am planning to appliy for the TV, multiple entry. Did you specifically indicate that you plan to go back to there or indicate that you want a multiple entry.

        Also, I am planning to resign since di naman ako papayagan na magleave for such a long time. Thus, inisip ko how to go about it especially the compelling reason to go back. My bf will provided an invite though that he’ll provide support whatever ๐Ÿ™‚

I ring my bf kanina sabi nya parang hindi na daw necessary ung magpabook ako ng return ticket kc naka multiple entry naman ako at di pa nga sure kung tapusin ko ba ung 3 mos o mapapaaga ang uwi ko. Pati last sept nung pumunta ako sa Aus di naman tiningnan ang ticket ko sa immigration. Ang tiningnan lng ung visa grant ko.

        sabi dapat daw meron return ticket na eh, ako dti wala akong khit anong dalang documents nun umalis ako mejo parang pinigil pa ko, buti na lng i got return ticket kya pinaalis na din ako ng immig after 5 mins., depende din siguro sa visa. mas mura naman kung roundtrip na kukunin mo, sa Singapore airlines $20 lng naman rebooking fee in case magbago ka ng flight.

        Gusto ko sana tumawag sa embassy hotline para magfollow up ng application ko, kso ayoko marinig ng mga office mates ko dito. haha di pa ko nagsasabi na aalis ako eh.

        Hi amber, nung umalis ka ba wala kang returning ticket? Wala kasi akong returing ticket now kasi multiple visa naman ako and until 3 months stay.

      6. jjbelle Avatar
        jjbelle

        hi amber, PMV is fiance visa kukunin mo un bago ikasal then apply again spouse visa sa aus after ng wedding nyo. pag magpapakasal na kyo pero under tv ka lng, you can apply directly spouse visa. pero if your visa has 8503 condition No Further Stay you cant lodge it inside aus kaya sa phil ka pa din magapply ng spouse visa.

        ako nga din problem ko din kung san mas madali.buti na nga lng we have both multiple entries kaya we can go back sa aus in any way habang on process ung pmv or sv.

        Sis Jjbelle ganun pala un. Good thing wala ako No further stay sa visa ko. Sa Aus na ako mag aapply ng PV. Ayaw na kc ako pauwiin ng fiance ko. If ever matuloy kme sa Broome on January sana magkita naman tayo. Flight ko na sa 29th Nov. Good luck sa ating lahat sis..

        aww you’re so lucky amber, multiple entry na wala pang 8503. sabi ng bf ko, summer is not the best time to go to broome sobrang init daw. pero im sure maganda pa din naman. sana nga magkita tyo sa perth. keep in touch lng dito sa page or you can add me sa fb. =) im not really sure if you can lodge pv inside aus pero parang may nabasa akong ganun, you can just reconfirm for safety sake.

        hi ella, just show them that you really have incentive to go back here in phil. in my case, i didnt declare my work so and pinaka naging incentive ko is ung PMV visa application ko next year and my mum. Clearly state in your intent letter also in your bf’s invitation letter na you won’t work nor overstay under your tourist visa.

    kailangan ba thru manager’s check ang payment? kasi nakalagay sa website ng embassy ok lng na payable thru aud, sino po kaya dto na naglodge ng applcation na ang payment is mad thru aud?

      hi sis joy kami ng partner ko we pay money order in aud,kaya pg inquire ko sa embassy thru email ngreply sila na dapat manager check kasi manila embassy base payment . if payment made in australian embassy it should be credit card or money order payment.kaya tuloy napatagalan kc na wrong mode of payment kami buti nlng on going process ung application tv ko.
