Steps in Applying for Australian Tourist Visa ONLINE
Philippine Passport Holders residing outside Australia can now apply for a Visitor e600 Visa online. The following are the steps in applying for an Australian Tourist Visa online:
1. Make sure to create and log-in using your ImmiAccount. You can create your account HERE. Make sure to provide correct information to all required fields.
2. Once you have created your ImmiAccount, check your email from noreply@border.gov.au and verify by clicking the provided link. You have to do this to validate and activate your newly created ImmiAccount. Log-on with your account using your nominated username and password.
3. Answer truthfully all questions that follow. There are 18 pages here. On page 2, you will be asked to give details of your travel to Australia. You may provide your date of arrival and departure and reason/s why you visit Australia.
a. Page 3 is about your passport details and some other information. The last question is about Health Examination. Has this applicant undertaken a health examination for an Australian visa in the last 12 months? It may imply that you need health certification. If you answer Yes, you are required to give details in the box provided. If you answer No, you proceed to next page.
b. Page 4 is Critical Data Confirmation. You can correct wrong entries should you have provided an incorrect one. If no correction, click Yes and proceed to next page.
c. Page 7 is contact details of applicant.
d. Page 10 is period of your stay. Here, you can indicate if it’s single entry or multiple entry. You will need to provide details.
e. Page 12 is your Employment Records.
f. Page 13 is your Financial Capacity.
g. Page 17 is Character Declaration. Answer “No” to all entries. If “Yes” to some questions, provide details.
h. Page 18 is Declarations. Answer “Yes” to all questions. A “No” answer to any question is not a good one.
4. You will need to attach scanned copy/ies of required documents as listed in the prompt page including but not limited to: passport (biopage), travel history (immigration stamps in your passport and other visa/s), bank statement, evidence of employment, evidence of other assets and NSO birth certificate. If you don’t have those documents at the moment, you may attach them later on, at least within the next 30 days. All provided data are stored in your ImmiAccount. However, you can still proceed to pay and attach the documents after payment.
5. Pay 135AUD using a debit/credit card in the window prompt provided.
6. Wait for updates/result of your application in your ImmiAccount and email.
Note that you can upload maximum of 60 documents per application. Incomplete documents will be processed longer. Your Case Officer may ask for other documents as maybe needed. Processing time varies.
There. Enjoy Australia!
As of July 2014
In 2013, I applied for Australian Tourist Visa and was denied one. At that time, I already have a 10-year multiple entry US Visa and have visited at least 15 countries in the past 2 years including South Korea, Taiwan and China. I think I have submitted all requirements including a personal bank certificate from BDO with an amount enough for me to live in Australia for 6 months with a spending capacity of 100USD per day, a travel insurance from Blue Cross, business papers and related documents, and other documents of some properties. Despite those, I was denied of a visa. Surprisingly, based on the letter I received, the case officer has noted that: I have never been outside the country. A shocking result of evaluation for me. So I immediately emailed the case officer about the matter and attached scanned pages of my passport. To my surprise, I was told that they can only open my case if I have to pay anew. Meaning, I have to apply again and pay another 6,400.00 for a wrong decision given to me! I declined a second application then and went instead to Nepal.
This year, since I really wanted to see Australia and New Zealand, I applied again, and this time around, they gave me a multiple entry visa for 3 months. The Embassy gives, 3, 6 or 12 months visa based on one’s request.
Many say that getting a visa approved is based on the completeness and correctness of the documents submitted. I agree to some extent. However, another factor, beyond the applicant’s control, which actually determines if a visa will be granted or denied, is the mood of the visa officer making the evaluation. We can not deny that they are also human beings, and in some (rare) occasions, they make unfavorable decisions. I do not claim that I should have been issued a visa in 2013; what I claim is that, the decision to my application made by the case officer is not for me. He made a wrong remarks when he said that I have never been outside the Philippines.
Having both the experience of being denied and granted a visa still doesn’t make me a visa expert or anything close to that. I am just recounting my experience without any intention to put harm to anyone.
REQUIREMENTS WHEN APPLYING FOR AN AUSTRALIAN TOURIST VISA (no sponsor)
- Properly filled up Application Form 1419 (subclass 600) – make sure it’s the latest form as they always update it. Ensure also that a valid and existing email address is indicated.
- Visa Fee of 130 Australian Dollars (because application is made in Manila/outside Australia) – this must be in the form of Manager’s Cheque payable to “Australian Embassy Manila” and must be in Philippine currency (check exchange rate with the bank or call the Visa Center first prior to buying the MC). Credit card payment is also accepted. There is a page in the Application Form for electronic payment. Note however that there is additional surcharge for electronic payment.
- Photo copy of all passport pages with immigration stamps, visa from other countries and the bio page. Also, the passport must be valid for travel. Attached photo copies of previous passport if available. Have it notarized. DO NOT SEND ORIGINAL PASSPORT.
- ID picture. The right size. Just tell it’s for Australia Visa and the Photo Center would know it already.
- Original NSO Birth Certificate
- If applicant has served in the military, certified military service records or discharge papers.
- Financial documents such as Bank Certificate enough to cover all expenses while on holidays. As to how much, no idea. I was denied a visa when I presented almost a million peso but was granted when I presented a little over 200,000.00 pesos. Include also photo copies of credit cards, if available.
- Work documents – if employed, documents such as certificate of employment, leave form, certificate of compensation/salary, BIR (also include SSS/GSIS certificate of contributions though not needed), company ID and other government issued IDs. If employer/professional, business papers such as DTI/SEC, Mayor’s Permit, BIR and other related documents
- Itinerary while in Australia which includes hotel, tour activities and related information. Do not include confirmed air ticket. It’s not required.
Place everything in a long brown envelop and send to:
Australian Visa Application Center
Mezzanine Floor Unit M01, Ecoplaza Building
2305 Pasong Tamo Extension,
Makati City, Metro Manila 1231
Counter hours
8am to 3pm Monday to Friday for lodging applications

Visa processing time varies but normally it takes 15 working days. Either granted or not, the Australian embassy will send an email notification about it. Any document submitted to the embassy will not be returned. If a visa is granted, they will issue a Visa Grant Notice. If denied, they will issue a letter explaining such.
The Australian Embassy does not provide visa sticker, only a Visa Grant Notice (similar to Dubai Visa).

Hi everyone, i hope you could answer this the soonest. My mom’s about to apply for a tourist visa in Australia which will going to be sponsored by my aunt who lives there. My concern here is, how is her visa going to be approved if she doesn’t have any bank account/statements? She doesn’t work and is only a housewife, neither she has atm nor credit card. Her tour in australia will be shouldered by my aunt. What will she do? Hope you answer this. Thanks a lot. 🙂

Hi just to share my experienced thru online application, submit my online application dated July 18, 2016 and got the result dated August 4, 20 16 granted my tourist visa as (multiple entry for 1 year and maximum study for 3 months). Complete all the required documents and that’s it, no hassle. Status (sponsored my aussie bf and currently working). Good luck for those who applying, just make sure please complete all the documents.
These are my tips:
1. Keep reading from the bloggers (specially the required documents). “patience is virtue” always keep in mind
2. Notarized your passport and the letter of intent from your sponsor.
3. For partner proved you had the genuine relationship like picture together, travel ticket together, screenshot for viber and skype (means your always communicating),remittance if you have – additional as strong evidenced.

Pwede rin naman yung agent mo nag VFS. May mga agency na nagproprocess ng visa but sa VFS din sila nag lodge. Kaye, pwede ka mag apply ulit online personally. Pwede rin ikaw na mag lodge via VFS mas madali yun. Wag mo nalang i mention na RN ka kasi it will give them idea na magtatrabaho ka as nurse doon instead of being a genuine tourist.

Hi Kaye. Sorry to hear about your refusal. Sabi sa mga nabasa ko minsan depende rin daw talaga sa mood ng case officer. Yung iba refused on their first application but the second time they apply kahit same requirements lang approved naman. Namention mo ba sa application mo na Registered Nurse ka? Kasi baka yun yung dahilan ng refusal also. Try to give more evidence of your return like kung may mga future travels ka include your plane tickets o kung my future events kang pupuntahan isama mo na like wedding na kailangan ka mag attend sama mo na yung inviatation so you have more reasons to go home.

Hi to All. I did wait for the decision on my touist visa application bago ako nagpost although I have been reading the comments here before. Anyway, I lodged my application on 18 July and received the decision today although in the letter it was made on 3 Aug. And it was REFUSED. My case, I am a 26-yo unemployed RN but currently managing a small motor parts shop under my name. My BF, an Aussie Dr, way older than me who I have met online and visited me in the Phils already, encouraged me to apply for a TV through an immi agent based in Oz. The docs I submitted: CTC of passport bio page, travel stamps, business registration certs/permit, BIR registration, letter from our municipal mayor stating that I have worked for him as a voters educator (to show that I am involved in the community), house and lot title (named under my mother), bank certificate amounting to approx 200k. The docs my BF provided: CTC of his passport bio page, LOI, bank statement, assets.
The reason was that, no consideration given to my ownership of any assets in the Phils (in my case, the shop). Like, not enough evidence to show that I will be returning back to the Phils. The Aussie agent even included a letter explaining my status such as I have a brother in college and a mother who is currently on holiday abroad, that my relatives will look after the shop in my absence; our itinerary in Oz.
Any insights or comments are welcome. Thanks for reading.

Hi Kaye, like you I was also refused on my first application. There were several reasons mentioned, some I understood well but one was really a mistake made by the CO. Try ka lng uli next time. My second application on line was granted and now I am currently in Brisbane Australia. I applied online June 26 and was granted July 20.
What are other things that might prove your returning home other than your business? Its very important to proved that. Do you live with your parents? Include mo lng sila sa application mo as those not travelling with you para kumbaga at least your telling the CO na babalikan mo sila. Sabhin mo sa BF mo na gandahan nya ung paggawa ng Statutory Declaration nya, my BF stated in his Stat Dec how we met and how the relationship has bloomed and that we want to formalise it and syempre ung occupation nya and that he is capable of financing your stay at kung ano pa ipoprovide nya for you. Include his payslip, proof of billings nya, drivers licence etc. Make it look like its hard to resists. I also met my Fiance on January 2016 and visited me twice last April and May. then we started talking about visiting him this July. First we thought of using Aussie agent pero mahal, so I have created an online account and applied there, and granted nman. I have included our photos together. Photos of my children..so for you your business and maybe you with your parents or your mother. Next time siguro wag mo nlng mention ung RN ka. Mine I have included in my first application my sisters in Australia, cousins and aunt kaya sabi ng CO e mas strong ties ko sa Australia kaya bka dn daw ako babalik lol. konting weight lang ung family ko sa Phils including properties. I was employed pero dahil nagchange ng name ung company prang lumabas na konti pa lng years ko sa bago. So on my second application, nilagay ko lahat un sa cover letter ko, I meant explained. So if you apply again make sure that something is different now compared from your first app.

Paano po natin malalaman ang exact amount na babayaran sa application? May ibang paraan ba kung paano babayaran ang fees if you apply thru immi and wala kang credit card. Please help and guide me guys….

Hi Daylin..when i applied on line wala din me credit card..i have BDO account na debit card din pero dont know why nung mgbabayad na sana ako ayaw nmn tangapin so i asked my bf instead to use his credit card. So un bka ok lng ask ur bf. 135 aus dollars plus little surcharge lng.Un din worry ko before kc looks very important ang may credit card but since supported nmn ako fiance ko siguro thats y nagrant visa ko. Lagay mo lng mga siblings mo n certificate frm employer that u are going back to work after your leave..any properties? Very important din statutory declaration ng bf mo. Proof of his financial capacity, drivers licence, payslip n any bills nya. Im currently in Brisbane now..

Hello May. Hope you are doing good. Thank you for replying my comments. tanong ko lang po kung saan ka nag aapply thru vfs or online? if sa vfs po, anong ilagay natin na currency sa managers cheque peso or aud? anong visa form nararapat sa katulad kong first time mag apply. please po help me . talagang i need more guide.

hi, I applied on line kc mas cheaper and convenient para sakin. sa managers check ang alam ko ikoconvert na rin sya sa Philippine currency. for first timer like you depende, im guessing you wanna go as tourist so Visitors Visa subclass 600 ka (gaya ko when I applied online) do you have work in Philippines? so you need a certificate of employment and compensation, your approved leave (mine I had a certification that states I have an approved leave of from (date) to (date) and also that I am returning for work on this (date). Any proof or evindence that you intend to go back to Philippines like your family (children, parents, siblings, aunts etc) for sure you will be asked that with their birth certificates (ur children). Gawa ka ng cover letter explaining why you want to go to Australia, where you intend to stay. Make sure you mention your intention to return because of blah blah and that you want to keep a good reputation with the immigration office. Gawa ka rin ng itinerary mo, kung ano ung mga places na gusto or balak mong puntahan…you will need your payslip (depende sau kung ilang bwan backwards), bank statement, ur BIR 2316, Credit card statement (if you have, ako kc wala)..if you have a friend who invited you over his/her invitation letter or statutory declaration, proof of capacity to support you like payslip (my fiancé only attached his payslip for the 2nd fortnight or kalahating buwan), his drivers licence, bill like electricity and internet service provider. I also attached pictures of me and my children, me and my fiancé too. Day after I submitted my application on line I bought my plane ticket, this is not advisable to do, I just took the risk coz its promo fare. I did not attached it on my application but after thinking over or after 15 days I have attached it anyway. I did that because I want (whoever) my case officer to know that I have intention to go back.

5. Financial capacity – pay slip and certificate of income, credit card statement
6. Work – Certificate of Employment and Leave Certification
7. ID’s – NBI Clearance, SSS, Philhealth
8. Covering Letter – stating my intention to visit AU for holiday (no itinerary given)
9. Letter Invite from a friend in Australia saka picture namin together – pero di na ko nag-ask ng financial documents nia ksi nakakahiya. Basta on her letter sinabi nia lng na we’ve been good friends and that I am planning to visit AU for holiday at willing xa na dun ako sa bahay nia tumira and she and her family will be more than happy to tour me around Australia.
Yan lahat…after 29 days na-approve namn TV ko 1 year multiple entry. I guess malaking factor ung family ties ska nilagay ko din name ng parents ko na nandito din sa pinas saka ung mga kids ko na talaga namn babalikan ko. Then ung work history malaki din factor un. Financial parang di masyado ksi wla nmn ako submit na bank statement saka salary ko di nmn kataasan. As long as may nilagay ka na name dun na mag support sayo. If weeks lng nmn visit mo siguro di na hahanapan ng financial capacity documents. These are all my assumptions di ko alam how the Visa Officer evaluate. They may have other ways.
I guess maganda din if properly label and organize ung mga documents mo na-attached lalo na if via immi-account. Pag organize kc mas madali sa Visa Officer maintindihan (tingin ko lng ha…lol)

I am worried as I did not attached a bank statement only my payslip, my annual salary certification and credit card statement but I am able to provide the rest of the documents required. Just want to share as the waiting game is killing me hahaha….just excited to go back there again for the second time.

But my question is?
Is it possible na ma approved bec. I want to request for 9Months more to get a
Max of 1yr. Vacation here but the problem is
I only have ONE POINT of return because I dont have property or any strong ties in the
Philippines to prove them that I will go back to our country except from one point of my return that is their school, I indicate there that they were enrolled and need to be back after 3months of vacation
Now we are planning for extension I would reason out that that they will continue
Their studies here through homeschooling
But I dont have points of return now is
My situation complicated?
Do I still have a chance of approval?
Or I am thinkibg of buying a ticket for my husband nextbyear that will
Prove them that he wants to bring us home in the phil. With him on his vacation next year 😊
Is that enough proof?
Please help me

Hi Jackie. I have two passport already, the one expiring Feb 2017 and a renewed passport.

I am worried that it might be a grounds for denial if I will only attach stamp pages of an old passport without the bio page on it. Then I’ve read here that I need to attach both, scanned copy of personal details of the old and new passport. Any advise? Thanks. 🙂

In 2013, i have applied for a tourist visa for 1 month and i got refused. On the decision letter that i received, the case officer stated.’
.”i have noted that the applicant have indicated the presence of family members that will remain in the Philippines during their proposed visit to Australia, namely her dependent children. While I acknowledge that these family members may offer some inducement to return to the Philippines, I have concerns that the applicant’s frequency of travel indicates her willingness to be separated from these family members for an extended period of time. Therefore I place little weight on the applicants family as evidence that she intends a genuine visit to Australia ”
This puzzled me because i haven’t done any travelling yet for extended period of time without my kids. My passport was not stamped even once then. So i wrote the embassy and was forwarded to the case officer because i wanted to be clarified on that matter because it looks like the data and information could have been mistakenly taken from somebody else and applied to my case. And from that letter i have also emphasized that i have been employed for 20 years but the corporation i was in changed name and management twice so the only no. of years reflected was on my current employer.
Anyway..the case officer replied but the decision has already been made and advise me to re-apply..
Now i am filling up another Tourist visa application and my fiance is supporting me and will be providing for my accommodation, even financial, domestic travel/transportation, access to his internet for my communication back home. i will have my own funds too. My fiance is preparing documents, statutory declaration, lease contract of the apartment he is renting etc. Any advise for additional docs to be attached. Thanks in advance.
Hoping i be granted a tourist visa application

My situation is that I am an Australian citizen living in Philippines with my Filipina fiancee for 6 months. I have known her for 2 years. We have a lease contract on our house for 12 months, expires May 2017.
We want to visit my daughters in Australia in January 2017 for just 2 weeks vacation.
I will pay for the airline tickets and hotel expenses and can supply bank account details, etc.so she won’t be needing to spend any of her own money for our vacation. My fiancee has bank accounts and a current passport and has travelled to other countries previously. She does not work as she is a full-time homemaker and I pay all expenses. Is there a minimum amount she needs in her back accounts?
When making an online application what additional documents are required? Is proof of our relationship necessary or is the lease for our house sufficient? She has 3 children, not mine, who will not be coming with us. What proof does she need that she will return?
Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Hi Freddo i read your concern just now and is wondering if your fiancee have already applied for tourist visa. The fact that she has 3 children here can be a good grounds in issuing visa for her. You can also submit copy of your lease contract. She can also put u as her sponsor to shoulder all the cost of travel. A covering letter would help also to tell the visa officer the intention of your visit.

Hintay lang. Patience is a virtue. Last year ng apply ako 23rd of May, nakuha ko 26th June. Sa mga nabasa ko sa mga blog it took them 1 month and a week bago na approve. Pray for it.

Hi Jericho! We are a family of 5 and just got our visas yesterday. My 2 siblings are still students (though adults/teenagers already) so they don’t have strong financial capabilities though they have their own bank accounts. What I did was I asked my dad to make a letter of support indicating/declaring that he’ll be sponsoring all our expenses in AUS, also the reason for our trip (birthday and hs graduation gift). Then attached all my dad’s financial documents, passport page, employment details and birth certificate to prove our relationship in the application. Regarding filling out the application form, you can fill out your daughter’s form yourself then just declare at the last part that you, her father filled out the form n her behalf. If i’m not mistaken, it’s Part J of the app form. Then also declare in her app form in Part B that you’ll be travelling with her, then in Part H that you’ll be sponsoring her. Hope this helps! 🙂
