Hi mga sis, pa join..

Ready na ang mga documents namen to apply for Tourist Visa, plan namen is to apply sa VIA center, but then dapat mauna ang Visa payment, not sure kung paanu ang process.. Kung san magbabayad if Credit Card.. Or kung pede na dun na rin sa VIA center?

i think pwede..

pero if option of entry nyo is via student visa mas magastos kesa sa skilled migrant. dapat aim nyo is permanent visa lalo na may baby pala kayo atleast may allowance si baby kahit paano

@ Princess_Chill -- sis tama sila, do not lose hope, keep on trying God will lead you to where you have to be kung di talaga sayo yan gagawa ng paraan si Lord pero so situation mo try lang kayo walang masama ang mahirap iyong di mo sinubukan... more on skilled workers nga hanap nila.kahit isa lang po sa inyo mgaral muna sa TESDA if feeling mo wala talaga.
hinahanda ko na sarili ko..kelangan maging handa sa kung anong work maioffer sakin in the future para lang makasurvive ako  kelngn paghandaan ko at gagawin ko. ayaw ko naman iyong asawa ko nahihirapan kakatrabaho tapos ako wala lang...

@tufhaty2013- san kau based now?

melbourne, victoria kami

Dont worry sa school , anytime welcome sila specially public school sabihin mo lang new migrant. Every suburb may designated school or may school na malapit.

thanks sis! tama ba ako na card, form 137 at immunization records lang ang need for school children? am i missing out on something? tia!

[jhoygeron]

Thanks!

Sang site kame magbayad ng Visa payment?

[freeswan]

^ go to any BDO branch. actually sa baba ng VIA may bdo dun. sabihin mo lang Manager's Check for
TV application for Australia. it's 1500 pesos. tapos they will give you na the check. yung check isama mo sa
paglodge ng documents mo sa via.
 
omg, i lodged my documents last april 30 and until now, d pa nabibigay ang visa ko. i read in other forums
na medyo matagal sila mag approve ngayon. shortest is 15 working days and longest is 6 weeks.
samantalang last time, 4 days lang nakuha ko na ang visa ko. we're just sad because we might miss
our anniversary sa june 1

[Princess_Chill]

iyon nga din iniisip namin na kung maka apply ng permanet  visa kaso iyon nga worry namin na
baka hindi kami agad makahanap work kasi nga di pasok sa skilled worker bracket e....huhu lito much

[jhoygeron]

^^ thanks sis. Antagal naman pala. Nakapaglodge na rin kame last thursday hoping na sana 10 days lang. hahahha balitaan mo ko sa result ng sa inyo.

Naghanap ba sila ng health/travel insurance?

[eklea]

hi mga sis!

is it true? they'll no longer issue visa 457 for immigrants?? i'm worried baka makaapekto samin mga dependent ng visa 457

[freeswan]

^^ ack! my typo ako. it's 5100 pesos. dati kasi 4 days lang approved na visa ko kaya complacent kami ni bf.

pero sana this week may marinig na kami from the embassy. pray pray pray lang talaga.

Hi mga Sis, ask ko lang sana if anyone have an idea if you can drive here and use ur Philippine license here in perth? were currently holding a 457 visa. thanks in advance mga sis!

[freeswan]

[psyche18R]

You can use your driver's license from the philippines basta hubdi expired

We are also planning of moving to Australia from Singapore. So far on-going ang aming skills assessment sa ACS. Ako yung main applicant since nsa SOL [textspeak!] occupation ko. Target namin is either Sydney or Melbourne.

[psyche18R]

oreo08, hubby and i are looking into doing the temporary partner visa na this year but will be applying from manila. we checked out the documents and from there, there are things that we don't have like statements together, loans, titles kasi it is individually named after us. do you think that is an issue?

and what were your attachments? we're not sure how much to put kasi.

and based on what we read, as soon as the visa is approved and issued, we would have to go to australia after a time period. usually how long is the lead time that they will give you?

last na, i don't have to live in australia naman if granted a permanent partner visa, right? we're currently no permanent address and would prolly settle in london (he's dual citizen kasi) so parang insurance lang naman yung australia if anything goes wrong.
