[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 Marian! Processing days varies which may take up to one month. Mine took 7 working days. I lodged it Sept. 25, received by the embassy Sept. 26 and the visa grant decision was made Oct. 4. It was delivered yesterday by air21. Goodluck on your application!
woo really?:) Wow that sounds great. I hope it’ll be same on my part. ung tourist visa app mo that time, ilan duration need mo magstay sa aussie? 3 mos or 6 mos bngay sau?
hi ladies
ngemail ako sa visa office kasi wrong mode of payment ung application fee namin ngreply naman sila , the processing time will be 30working days counted from the time
we receive your complete payment and lodgement of application,nalodge namin sept 16 pero wrong mode of payment,tanong ko lng ibig bang sabihin nito pgmakabayad ung lawyer sa tamang payment oct.9 doon ba ako mgstart ng pagcounting sa 30days?hope hindi sana kasi nakabili na c hubby ng ticket ko papunta ng australia.please i want your comment on my problem.huhuhuhhu.
Hi everyone! could you please help me what to do because till now i have not received any response from Australian embassy about my TV application. Air21 delivered my application to jordan-piasi on Sept. 11, 2013 at 5:49pm. it has been a month now and i have not received any response yet, even a confirmation that they have my application already. saan po kaya ako pwede mag follow up? alam ko po up to 30 days and processing pero worried na po ako.
hi gry,
good day to you,alam mo parehas tayo ng situation ,more than a month na yung aking sept 16 nareceive nila ung application doc,worried na ako so ginawa ko kasi maraming sis ng advice sa aking na mg send ng email sa australian embassy manila.buti ngreply sila ang case ko raw wrong mode of payment ,till now worried .
sis grace,
thank you! may email address ka ba nila na pwede ko ma-email? dapat kasi alam na natin case officer natin on the first week plng ng application natin di ba?
at least yung case mo seems easy to settle sa tingin ko pwede mo cancel first payment and then send them the correct one.
hi,
sis,google mo lng australia embassy philippines then click mo australia embassy inquiry philippines.then pwede ka na mg email doon.
hi gry, case officer ung ngreply sa email ko rex ung nkalagay bka ung ang case officer ko noh?what do you think?gry.
thanks grace. inquiry sent na, sya na nga co mo. ako 1 month na di ko pa alam co ko. 🙁
sis,
musta na ung application mo ano na status?
exactly 1 month today pero wala pa rin feedback sis. wala akong any idea kung na process ba ang application ko or not. ako lang yata ang may ganitong sitwasyon. ???
musta naman payment mo? ok nb?
sis gry,
hindi pa ba ng reply ung embassy sa email mo?monday hopefully makabayad na ung migration lawyer namin.
hi sis gry, musta? may balita naba sa application mo? ako nga din eh pick up dito air21 davao city pero nadeliver na daw nila oct 1 but until now wala ako tanggap kahit text or email from embassy, syempre natural lang ang magworried gawa ng excited makavisit sa place ng fiancee ko pero antay antay nalang muna im sure in go’s perfect time ma ga grant din yan. ikaw din sis keep praying maybe this week masurprise ka nalang tanggap you na you visa mo.
god bless
hi po.. ask ko lang po kung may babayadan ba ako sa airport dito sa Australia? I mean terminal fee or the likes? sana po may makatulong sken.. thanks in advance!

Hi Everyone:)
Anyone here got a grant visa kahit unemployed? 🙂
I just got back from a three week holiday in AU, visited my bf, met his family and friends. I also spent my birthday there. Im now back to work. My bf will be on his holiday in a few months time and will be visiting me.
In mid of next year I will be staying there longer like three months. Though my current company has given me three week loa previously to go to au, Im worried if they will still allow me to go next time. So I’m thinking that when worst comes to worst and they won’t allow me for another holiday, I would be applying for a tv but hindi ko ddeclare na employed ako. I will have my family and my friend’s upcoming wedding (i will be a made honor) as my incentive to return. Possible ba magrant un? 🙁 (if it will be granted I will resign from my job.)
To those who have applied na unemployed, please share your experience and the requirements you submitted to the embassy. I would really appreciate it. Thanks a lot:)

hi sis ces, no need to register in VEVO. check mo nalang directly sa site nila
Thank you sis Angel. Thank you ha. God bless us all
hi how much is the lates vtourist visa fee? from the immigration page it says $130. is that in Aus or US? if peso, is it PHP 5,900? i have a question din, can i lodge my application directly sa embassy, xe tawid lng namin cla eh almost same building lng. haha i know this is silly. pero thank you na din sa sasagot. thank you!
Hi, jjbelle!
Last week (Oct 18) ako naglodge sa VIA Centre. The manager’s check for the tourist visa fee is worth Php 5,900.
You may ask the VIA Centre about sa question mo. Pero I think the embassy only accepts direct applications for emergency cases only.
“Direct applications at the Manila Visa Office are only allowed for emergency cases such as medical emergencies,
death/funerals, or urgent business travels. For all other cases, the application must be made through our service
delivery partner channels.
If you believe you meet any of the emergency case circumstances, please send an email and put the nature of your
emergency on the subject line. See, Contact the Australian Embassy
(http://www.immi.gov.au/contacts/forms/philippines/) (Manila)”
thank you sa reply nikki! anyways sobrang limited na ko sa oras, ive heard that they are imposing a cut off date, so il let it pick up on Tuesday na lng dito sa office pag ncomplete ko requirements ko, Hopefully! if its not too much to ask, may i know kung ano mga pinasa mong documents para dun na lng din ako magbase? thank you.
Hi, sorry sa late reply. i’ve posted here my documents. 🙂 yung latest comment hehe. 🙂
oopps! wrong info the cut off date on Nov. 8 is for sponsored family stream.
Hi mga sis, Iodged my application on Aug. 23, and checked the status of my application at http://www.via.ph, it says in process na raw ang application ko. Didn’t receive a text pero at least kita ko sa status na asa Australian Embassy na. So wait na lang ako, Sana maging ok ang result ng TV ng anak ko. =)
hi sis ces thanks
