Tanong:

Q: Kelangan ba ng plane ticket pag magaaply?

A: Nope, hindi kelangan, pero kung kaya mo bumili na ng ticket mas maganda tapos attached mo nalang sya sa supporting documents mo.

Q: Pag nagapply ba ako online kelangan ng valid/active email?

A: Oo naman teh, dun sila nageemail pag may kelangan pa sila sayo at dun din sila mag sesend kung approved yung visa mo.

Q: Anu mas mabilis VFS or Online?

A: Parehas lang naman kaso delayed ng 1 day ang VFS sa result kase office hours sinusunod nila, eh ikaw kasi directang eemail sayo ni immigration ung result. Minsan it will take 2 months pero minsan mas mabilis pa sa one month kasi depende yan sa dami nyong kasabayan na nagaaply.

Q: May natrack sa ihi ko, diabetes ata or UTI cancelled na ba visa ko?

A: NO, irerequre ka lang ng doctor na gamutin mo sya. Again it will not impact your visa application. Yung mga transmittable disease lang ang negative.

Q: Paano ba malalaman kung maaporved or tagilid ung pagaaply ng visa?

A: Pag meron ka lahat ng req, push na yan.

Q: Wala po akog credit card or debit card na may mastercard na logo pano po un?

A: Look for banks na nagoofer ng prepaid visa/master cards click here. Or I suggest sa eastwest bank kayo mag apply or BPI, sabihin nyo lang mag aaply kayo ng prepaid debit cards. 

Q: Meron na akong credit card and debit card whats next?

A: lagyan nyo ng laman mga 5000 or 5500 depende sa exchange rate tapos sa payment form ng site online ilalagay nyo lang ung card details.

Q: Ano ba lalagay ko sa length of stay madedeny ba ako pag nilagay ko 12 months?

A: If sponsored ka ng someone sa Australia, kelangan lang nila ng reason bakit gusto mo magtagal. Pwede mo din naman lagay na "I want to visit AU and my relatives", or lagyan mo ng dates or events like " Want to see vivid Sydney on July then attend boxing day on December and Birthday on February." yan.

Q: Kelangan ba ng show money ung sponsor ko at ako sa tourist visa?

A: Actually, they never ask for that anymore unless nakukulangan sila sa financial documents mo, pero rare case lang to.

A: 8101 or you cannot work to Australia, opkors bawal tourist ka diba.

     8201 or cannot study for more than 3 months. Sa AU kasi pwede ka ng mag study ng english and 

              other trainings pwede naman kaso wag lalagpas sa 3 months kundi lagot ka.

     8501 or need to arrange medical insurance, kelangan may insurance ka sa australia pag dumating
