[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?

Hi Abby and Anna. Glad to know na may mga bisaya dito, taga Dabaw man gud ko. Hehe. I lodged my TV app Jul 26 and the embassy received it by the 30th which is the date when they informed me that my docs are in their hands na. By the way, I applied thru VIA. It was a friend from Mla who called VIA para mapick up documents ko ng A21. VIA gave him instructions on what to do. Also binigay ko sa kaibigan ko some details of my application. What VIA require when u call them are ur passport infos, MC infos, desired period of travel, ur contact infosand theaddress kung saan mo gustong mapick docs mo. Lahat ng docs na binigay ng bf ko eh may tatak ng JP. These are his docs: BC, Driver’s License, Passport, Declarion letter, invitation letter, pay slips, tenancy aggreement, water and electric bill niya. Sa akin naman are: BC, old payslips from my previousemployer,company ID from my old employer, voter’s id, intent letter, pictures of us together, and ang nasagot na form. Sinali ko rin pala ang conversation namin ng mum, sis at mga friends niya sa fb. Lahat pina notarized ko except sa photos. Lol. Anyway, God is good and natanggap visa grant notice nitong Monday lang. 15 Aug ung decision date and 30 July nila natanggap. Sana magrant din sa inyo at sana nakatulong tong comment ko. 🙂 Keep in touch. Ms Nina, maraming maraming salamat ho sa page nyo. Sobrang laking tulong!
Wow congrats Kate! Very helpful talaga itong blog ni Ms Nina. By the way, kelan mo balak pumunta sa Oz at saan ka nagpabook ng tickets?

Hi sa lahat! Ano po ba ang maganda at mura na airline papunta sa Melbourne? Anyone here who has tried booking their tickets via online using Unionbank EON debit card (or any debit card)? Wala po kasi akong credit card. Sana matulungan niyo ako 🙂
Hi Belle, Singapore airlines po ako..Sept 2 ang flight ko to Adelaide. Maganda dw at d gnun kamahal tsaka maraming food and drinks.hehe. Bf ko nagpabook online at he paid using his debit card.
Hi Kate and Dessy. Next week na pala ang alis nyo, safe travels! 2nd week of Sep ang plano ko kaya lang hindi pa ako nakapagbook ng tickets. @Dessy Pwede malaman kung anong klaseng debit card ang ginamit ng bf mo? I tried using Unionbank EON Visa debit card pero unsucessful ang transaction kahit may money naman ung card.
Hi Belle, thanks. Mastercard po gnmit nya, cnvhan ko nga po na scan nya just in case hanapin sa akin before departure ung card na gnamit pambayad sa ticket. Ginawa nman nya at tsaka pinavalidate nrn nya sa airline ung card to avoid any hassles during my flight. Try u rn po ang Qantas, mura dn dw base sa mga nbasa ko dto. Goodluck sis, btw, the following week p po flight nmin not this coming week.hehe

Hi po im Inna, 19, studying. I got everything except a bank statement of myself. Yun lang po talaga kasi wala po ako bank acccnt ngayon. But my sponsor will shoulder all dxpenses naman po. Yung walang bank statement pwede po ba maging cause ng visa app denial? Thanks po!
hello inna im anna, u should open one account kasi u need it kung mag aapply kana kasi through bank cheque ang ibabayad natin sa ating application, may mga bangko na we’re not allow us to buy a cheque if we dont have an account of them..
Hi Inna. Ayos lang yan. In my application, my partner and I didnt submit our bank statements even though we both have. What I included is a bunch of his payslips. Just tell him to make a statement hat he’ll be.the one to shoulder all the expenses including medical during ypur stay but make sire to include his payslips which should have the JP stamp or his bank statements would do. Keep a positive spirit! 🙂
Apologies for typo errors. Im using my phone kasi. 🙂

@Emz12
Before lodging my tv application, I secure all the necessary documents that will give me a bigger chances of getting a positive result and that’s include the cover letter or letter of intent.By reading through this forum …I learned how to make a good one. Here’s Ms. Nina’s sample of intent letter. Goodluck sis.
https://justwandering.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Intent-Letter.pdf
@Inna Manlangit
I don’t think so, long as you can prove that you have reason to comeback before your visa expires and that your sponsor is capable of providing all your needs while you are in Oz..you have a big chance to get granted. Just include your study load/C.O.R sis. Goodluck po.
@ Dessy
sis wala pako news na maganda sa visa ko. Inemail ko cla ang sabi UNDER ASSESSMENT pa daw at within the standard processing time na 30 days ang application ko. So i guess i’ll have to play some waiing game pa din. Kung anu anu na naiisip ko. Hirap ng maghintay. Hehehehe . Im hoping for the best.. Ingat sis sa trip mo. If ever pala malayo ako sayo sa Aus. Sa Darwin kc based si Bf eh. Pero originally taga Adelaide cya and parents nya andun
Lets stay connected here sis ha..
@amber. Please see the last entry date. That date would be the validity date of you visa. Stay for 1 month menan you are allowed to stay in Australia for a month then after that you have to leave.

Fortunately 3 months and multiple entry . Valid until Aug 29 2014. Worth the long wait kasi medyo good news.
Oo nga. Wow sana dumating na rin sakin and 3 months din.

hello dessy 76k yung sa singapore airlines mahal no, mura lang nakuha ko sis 43.124 cathy pacific sya round trip na yun, ang babayaran ko yung terminal fee nalang… pero sa quantas mura lang din daw..
Oo sis anna, 76k dw sa agency ang cheapest na flight sa Singapore airline . Too much nman un, ung skin less than $1k lng. Mganda nga dn dw ang Qantas sis pero pinakamura ata ung jetstar sa lhat, biruin mo $666+lang dw. Ewan ko lng kung saang part ng Oz un.
ganun ba, siguro sis first class yung binigay sa kanya, may nabasa akong post dati maganda daw yung jetsar pero ala daw free sa pagkain, kahit water babayaran mo, ala daw blanket, tayo daw mag provide sis, mura lang din cathy sis , yan kinuha ko
Oo dw sis, bka nga 1st class un. Nbsa ko nga rn un sis pero, kung kukuwentahin malaking tipid dn un ah. Kc d nman makakagastos ng $100 sa food. Anyway, ang mahalaga nman ay ligtas tayo na mkakarating sa destination ntn.
Try niyo check sa website ng Jetstar saang parts ng OZ, nandoon naman lahat nakalagay 🙂 I think okay lang kahit wala food, order nalang pag book ng ticket pwede naman. I mean super mura halos half diba tapos roundtrip na 🙂
@HelloThere
Oo sis , medyo nanghinayang ako..pero all done na kc, nkabooked na flight ko.
oo mka save talaga, tama ka sis importante safe lang tayo sa byahi..ikaw sis maghano yung ticket nakuha mo?
mura lng din sis, $967 lng sya..one and half hour stop-over lng sa Singapore then Adelaide na. Kaso pag-uwi 9hours ang lay over, kya pasyal-pasyal muna ako sa Singapore while waiting sa flight ko pauwi ng pinas.
hallo sis the same tayo , 1 hour and 30 minutes din vacant ko to transfer in my next flight which is hongkong to adelaide ganun din ako pag uwi darating ako sa hongkong 9pm din my flight to ph 9 am
Hi Dessy. Swerte ka sis at cheaper ung nakuha mong ticket. Ngayon kasi $1453 na ang cheapest na nakita ko online, siguro dahil peak season na marami gusto mag holiday sa Oz. Singapore Airlines din ang kukunin ko sis going to Melbourne. Alam mo ba kung saan magbabayad ng travel tax?
Belle ,

@annamarie pepito
wow sis, ang haba non ah…12hrs. Pasyal-pasyal ka ah, sayang ung oras at pagkakataon.hehe.
@Dhenji Tripoli
Based on my readings here, the immigration doesn’t require any bonds. In some cases, they undergone some questioning esp if you haven’t meet yet with your sponsor. Better bring with you your copies of your documents (ei.requirements for tv application and fotos with your sponsor etc.) Yun dn po kc ang advise ng Rose skn. Goodluck sis,

@mrswooody007
Hi po. 35 days n ung sayo sis? Ung sken pang 30 days na tomorrow wala pa din ako natatanggap na result. If i dont get results until saturday. Im gunna email them again on monday to follow up my application. The last time na inemail ko cla ang sabi under assessment pa daw ung sken tapos still within the standard processing time na 30 working days. Pero hindi naman ata sinabi dun sa website ng aus embassy na 30 working days ang nakalagay dun 1month. Nahihibang nko sa paghihintay ng result. So hard.. I feel so anxious about it na.
Ganun din ako maski .txt wala.ng natanggap. Ang sabi kasi ng agent namin – be patient and wait. Tanung ko lang Ms Amber, Ang file name ba is itong nakataga na File number :OSF or ito po bang nasa baba may nakasabi Visa Application for : 2013041743
@mrswooody007
Sis san ba yan tinatanung mo? Nag agency ka pala. I lodged my application kc personally sa Via centre in Makati.
sa Visa 600 po to sis ang tinatanong ko. More than a month nakaya ito.Gusto o sa mag email sa immig manila pero di ko alam saan dito ang file number. nakalagay lang dito file number: OSF. Forwarfed ack letter ito ng PMV ko. wala naman ako natanggap from agent tungkol sa file number ng TV. i was thinking n baka pareho lang lang file nmber sa tv and pmv sis.
@mrswooody007 @ Amber
follow up email sis.. ganyan ang ginawa ko my tv took 1 month..then follow up sis…email..
@ rose
sis nakadami ka ba na email sa knila? Kc aq weekly nag email aq kso naisip ko baka mainis naman cla sken.. Sa tingin mo oka lang na mag email ulet aq ngayon? Kelan ka ba nag email sa knila? Nung naka one month na ang application mo?
@mrswooody
sis im not familiar sa tinatanong mo e. What do have ba jan? U have receipt ba from Via? Kc if sa Via galing yan may nakalagay dun na REFERENCE # at RECORD #. UN lng ginaimt ko sa pag follow up ng application ko.
sissy amber wala po akong receipt kasi po ang migrant agent naglodge. kaya am jist here waiting patiently.
amber i just only emailed them once nung my applicatioon already 1 ,month then i follow up and email no sis wag kang mag email sa kanila every week once or twice lang sis. kasi baka minis cila.. dw sis u wil be granted just be positive sis.. have faith glduck darating din yan sis

guys, can you advise how much money should i atleast have in my bank account to be approved of the tourist visa? May invitation letter ako from a friend but i will pay for my accommodation and stay. Need ko ba talaga ng malaking pera sa bank account ko? Also, can I just provide a bank certificate instead of a bank statement? please help naman..thanks
@ hayllin…since ikaw ang mag po provide ng acconidation mo, stay foods etc You Need po talag mag submit ng Bank staement . tourist visa po is how u will support ur self.financially whilst ur in OZ and your reason to comeback dapat mapakita mo. goodluck po.
hi marie,ano bang lailangan i submit,my friend in australia invite me to visit in oz,sagot nia lahat pero ndi sponsorship ,he sent a supporting documents to prove he will provide me all my expences when i stay in oz and he sent to me invitation letter
at hayllin you need to provide po yor bankbstaement since ikaw ang sasagot sa accomodation mo
@Rubz abanilla. sa taas.nito may link sii ms nina. andun an checklist … mga docs.need mo i comply… iba iba tayo situation so iba iba ppers s.ang pwde.mo submit..nagkakapareho langbkung may sponsor ka din… at sau as applicant is.nso bc nbi passport.. please read.the checklist…may supporting docs din peri again it depends sa aapplicant…
@ hayllin, mejo na confuse ako sa cnbi mo,. sagot nya lahat pero hindi ang sponsorship.. sis kc sa form may tanong dun about sa kung cnu mag provide ng expenses mo, kung may friend/relative ka dun… at cnu sponsor mo… dapat sa invitation letter ng friend mo, naka explain dun saan at panu ka nya sponsor.. kung finanacil expenses lang ba or sa accomodation lang…. dapat clear and be honest lang…
Mga Sis..
Sa experience nyo gaano ba katagal talaga ang result ng tv? Ung pinakamatagal talaga n pinaghintay? 32 days na ung sken today. Wala pa din ako any news.:(
Sa akin po 36 days. pwidi po kayo mag.email sa Diac. Gamitin ang contact form sa Asutralian embassy in Manila web site. May agency po kasi kaya hindi ako makafollow up. But kaw po pwidi.
@mrswooody007
Nag email na po ako sa kanila using this email add , wla naman cla nireply kundi ung acknowledgement lang na natanggap nila ang email ko.
Malapit nayang sa iyo miss Amber. pareho tayo still in waiting area LOL. We cannot expidite it .
Hello mga sis na nabalik na ang documents! Around what time kayo tinext ng embassy/courier na ready for delivery na documents pabalik sa niyo? Wala pa rin news sakin e…
Ibig sabihin walang letter of visa grant na kasama ang documents na natanggap mo? Nagtext sa akin ang air21 arund 11 pero di ko alam if documents lang ba yun or a visa grant na ba yun.
@mrswoosy007
Syempre sis pag binalik na meron ng result. I was just asking around what time nagtetext kapag ibabalik na kasi until now no news pa rin ako. Goodluck sayo, sana grant letter kasama!
Thank you hellothere. Wait ka lang sis, makareceive ka rin nga sms from air 21 and from the embassy. I am praying na grant tayo lahat.
