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
8am to 4pm Monday to Friday for general information
Telephone
+632 790 4900
9am to 5pm Monday to Friday
Or if applicant is nearer to Cebu:
Australian Visa Application Center
9th Floor, Keppel Center, Unit 905, Samar Loop
cor. Cardinal Rosales Avenue,
Cebu Business Park, Cebu City 6000,
Telephone
+632 790 4900
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 Candace, National Identity card can either be drivers licence, Unified Multi Purpose ID (SSS), I think also your BC, PRC licence..any gov. id’s. Are you applying for tourist visa? or Australian citizenship? I think that form is for Australian citizenship app..is your sponsor an Australian citizen? What are the choices to pick for the the funding details? If you will be shouldering expenses + some from your sponsor just select the nearest from the choices thereat and explain how the funding for your stay will gonna be. to support your claim, you can attach payslip, bank statement. Your sponsor will also have to attach proof that he/she has the capacity to provide your needs while there in Australia, meaning he/she has to provide you copies of bank statement, payslip or credit card statement + ask him to send you letter of invitation or statutory declaration, also passport bio page copy and other bills. U may also attach pictures of you together to prove that you been known each other. Make a cover letter too to simply explain your purpose for travelling there, what places you want to visit, when and where..so on ur cover letter you can include your itinerary.Please bear in mind that it is very important to convince your Case Officer of your intention to go back within the validity of your visa. u have to evidence your strong ties by providing assets if you have/proof of your relationship to your kids (if you have)/your siblings or your parents..if you are working, your Certificate of Employment and Compensation and approved leave from employer and also stating when you will be reporting back to work, ur BIR form 2316..just anything that convincingly shows you need to be back home. If you have flight tickets you can do so..though they dont advise to buy if no visa yet.It doesn’t mean you have to supply all of these, only if you have them and if you think it will help in your application..so go for it.
Passport size picture..u can attach under Travel Document.
If you colored scan your original copies I think its okay not to notarize them, like your BC or other PSA documents. so its up to you if you feel the need to. Good luck and God bless!

Hi Melvie!
First of all, dont degrade yourself. Wag mo sabihin na “katulong ka lang, thats a very decent job”.
Now talking about visa application, i will be very straight to the point. Isa sa mga requirements to apply a tourist visa papunta dito is to supply those docs to prove na babalik ka ng bansa before ma expire yung visa mo. Kahit pang sabihin mo na 3 weeks lang or less kailangan mong ma prove sa kanila na babalik ka sa Pinas. Manghihingi ang immigration ng employment certificate, ITR (tax records), letter from the employer about leave of abscence,payslip etc etc. Pwede naman siguro mang hingi sa agency mo or not sure if u can ask directly from your boss. I think mas maganda na magkita muna kau ng bf personally para mas madali yung application mo para na rin mka pag supply ka ng proof of relationship. And about your question kung mabinigyan ka ba ng visa, walang mkakasagot nyan talaga. Pero make sure na pag submit mo ng application mo, andun lahat ng hinihingi nila.
Goodluck and Godbless!

I need help in knowing if I need to have a passport size photo attached? Is there speficic format I need to follow when scanning the photo? I have COE, PaySlips, ITR and can ensure a letter to validate my approved vacation leave so i’m wondering if a bank statement will still be necessary? The money in my account isn’t much yet so im planning not to include a bank document because my travel dates (if approved) will still be on the first week of June (will save more til then) hehe.
Thank you soo much again for the help.

Hi when you are applying for a sponsorhip visa you can apply through online.You can create an Immi Account in https://online.immi.gov.au/lusc/login.Choose Form 1149 Sponsorship for Sponsored Family Visitors.First step, your Australian Sponsor should provide a letter stating the purpose of your visit in Australia.Then fill up the form and need to attach scanned copies of required documents as listed There is a visa fee of 4k or 5K .I do not know the exact amount ,you can pay through your credit card.Once you completed all the documents needed they will assess your application then wait for 3weeks to 1 month for the visa grant notice if you passed or not.When your visa is granted they will require your sponsor a security bond amounting to P200,000 for security purposes but once you returned in your own country the money will refund to your sponsor.

I have just read this article and as an Australian citizen I have to say that the way visas are denied is farcical. My wife was denied a tourist visa, two brother were also denied yet my sister in law and mother in law got their visa without any problem. its hit and miss and really doesn’t have a lot to do with how complete your application is its more if the local (Pinoy)processing officer thinks you are worthy. Everytime I have had to apply for visas or for my childrens citizenship its been a nightmare. I used to joke that it would have been easier for my wife to come via boat than to submit over 6000 pages of documents and wait 3 years for her visa and that was after getting married in the Philippines and having 2 children there.
LikeLike
I just thought it should have been more easy for you since your Australian citizen already and besides they are your family as I know they (Case Officers) are more considerate about that. My first application in 2013 was also refused and that time I have given up my dream to see Australia. I also thought that having more relatives there give you an edge at least but it turn out negative on my part coz the CO assumed I might overstay there and forget about my children here (since im a Widow). This year I have applied under tourist visa stream supported by my Australian fiancé, I admit on my first application that I have failed to consider important things too like other documents to attach on my application. This time I took time to read and read, mostly from blogs like this, so yes, it wont hurt anyway if I try to add cover letter, itinerary and my trip ticket (which I have uploaded after I sent my application) and pictures of me and fiancé and with my children here. My second application was granted last June 2016 and yipeee!! I was able to see Australia. its very tempting to overstay when ur there but I have chose to comply and have returned to Philippines as planned. Then October I have applied for tourist visa again with my children and have asked for multiple entry..Mostly my documents were the same, my fiancé’s statutory declaration just changed a bit since now my children were included. I have created a group for us for group processing..and by God’s grace we made it. Mine came after 2 days of submitting and my children after 10 days only coz the case officer wrote me about additional requirements for minors travelling with either one parent only.
I can relate to you coz I know the feelings, although we have different circumstance..but I hope it wont discourage you too much. Keep trying, later they will have no choice but to grant you anyway..
Good luck and God bless!!!

Yes if you have assets like car, ung OR/CR nyo tas if me property/ies attach proof na sa inyo un. I suggest gawa ka ng cover letter mo, mostly nman ang laman lng nito is explaining why you want to visit Oz at kung ano pupuntahan nyo, kelan kau pupunta. google ka places that you can visit (kunwari)..Walang interview kc sa pagapply so u really have to present yourself na maniniwala sila sau or maconvince mo sila na u have strong ties dito sa pilipinas na babalikan nyo.

Submitted last Oct 15, 2016. I got my grant letter 2 days after while i waited for a few days for my children coz the case officer had asked addional documents, their fathers consent and government id. Since im a widow i attached DC of my late husband and wrote another simple letter why i want my children to come along with me. This is my 3rd app, my first in 2013 when i was regused, 2nd last June 2016 and gtanted single entry…went August to Oz n now tried again with my kids. First time applicant and granted. Again, its always a learning lesson that after weve done everything at the best we can, all we can do is hope and pray for a positive result. To God be the glory!

Wala din ako submit na itinerary or plane ticket. Meron letter of invitation from my friend pero wala din xa sinubmit na any financial documents. Sa letter nia sinabi nia lng na they will support my stay while I’m there in OZ. I am thinking nga na baka di ako ma-approve kasi napaka konti lng documents ko. Pero na-approved nmn ako multiple entry for one year. I spoke with a migrant lawyer before sabi nia di nmn need na super dami ng documents minsan nga daw un pa ang nagpapagulo lalo na at di nmn necessary.

I am just curious if meron ba na-approve recently who have been reading this blog? baka naman this is not the right time to apply ksi nga medyo controversial ang PH ngaun. They can really use that as a reason not to grant a visa at the moment. Any idea?

My case officer is Jerryboy. Which we know all know is not an Australian name. So I know it didn’t went to a Consul. I will re-apply again as I already purchased a non refundable flight. I don’t know how to show I have strong family ties in the Philippines since my parents were both dead, single and no kids! Hay! Pde ba ilagay ang relatives like Aunts and Uncles?
LikeLike
Aunts and Uncles basta close ka sa kanila. I think mas maganda if you will make a cover letter addressing the reasons made by the Case officer. Address it to the Honorable Consul… start by expressing your intention to visit Oz, for how long, who to visit, what places are you going to see while there. then introduce yourself , where you working and how long have you been working. And also your reasons for coming back to the Philippines. Although hindi nmn requirement ang cover letter pero it will help to let the person who will be evaluating your papers kc wala interview. Im not sure kung meron ka nagawa sa first application mo…so medyo baguhin mo lng ng konti. hindi rin nman inaadvise na bumili ng advance ticket pero for your next app iattach mo na lng. Ung invitation letter/statutory declaration ng friend mo pagusapan at pagisipan nyo pa kung pano mapaganda. Anyway..mga points lng ito and hopefully makatulong sau kahit papano. I can relate to you kc refused din ang fist visa application ko. Goodluck and hope you will be granted on your next application.

Hi dear, If i may comment on this. My case officer is Jerryboy also but my visa was granted. And as far as I know only Consul or Case Officer has the right to deny or approve a visa. They will indicate their position number at the bottom of the notice. Then the second time I applied it was handled by Mary, her position number also indicated at the bottom of the Grant Notice. Both visa I applied was granted. First one is through VFS and the second one through Immi Account. I have read a lot of blogs and articles about getting visa pa Australia and since wala ngang personal appearance your documents will speaks for itself.
For those reasons you have indicated as if parehong-pareho kayo ng reason for denial, I guess its in their system. Hindi ibig sabihin lahat ng nakalagay dun sa list ay applicable sayo. Maybe isa or dalawa dun ang nakita ng case officer na reasons for him to refuse the visa. I guess those are are auto-generated emails/notices kaya pareho-pareho ang nakalagay sa reason for denial. That’s what I thought.

@ Jane, actually lahat ung mga reasons na nabangit ni Wanderer same reason din sa decision record ko. And obviously sila lang talaga ang may right to approve or deny a certain visa (minsan depende rin siguro sa mood nila or minsan ung akala nating sapat e kulang pa pala). Sabi nga nila, minsan swerte swerte rin lol. Gaya mo. Since ur docs will speak of you, on my second app i included my cover letter, itineray and plane ticket pero this time din me nagsupport sakin my fiance. But really, walang guarantee e, after doing everything we can at our best kelangan talaga nating ipagdasal na maging maganda ang resulta. Maari din na auto-generated din ung mga responses nila for refusal kaya same face lol.
@ Wanderer share ko lng sau to hopefully give you ideas. Tanong ka lng kung ano concerns mo. Me mga kapatid taung mas maraming experience na na makakatulong..ako heto ung mga sinabmit ko that time.

I have been refused too last week for the following reasons: Personal circumstances or other conditions in the applicant’s home country, that may encourage the applicant to remain in Australia, including:
– the applicant’s economic situation – including unemployment or employment that, based on knowledge of local employment conditions, such as salary rates, would not constitute a strong incentive for the applicant to leave Australia;
– the applicant’s personal ties to Australia, that is, does the applicant have more close family members living in Australia than in their home country;
– military service commitments;
– civil disruption, including war, lawlessness or political upheaval in the applicant’s home country; and
– economic disruption, including shortages, famine, or high levels of unemployment, or natural disasters in the applicant’s home country.
First of all, I earn US$ and not employed locally.
Second, I only have a friend in Australia. My immediate family are in Philippines, and relatives in USA, Canada and UK.
I think the case officer who handled my application either don’t know how to read or just decided to deny all application that went his way that day, got the refusal email last September 21st.
This blog also shows that we can further submit documents after payment – not true, because when I was going to submit more, thats when I found out that my application has been decided upon and finalised. So make sure all your documents are in before paying.

They’re very strict when it comes to food esp fruits. Declare every food you’re bringing in. If you declare and it’s not allowed, the worse they’ll do is conviscate it. If you don’t declare and they catch you lying, minimum penalty is AUS 200. I’ve been there thrice and usually they didn’t even open my bag or box. While you’re in line waiting to be inspected, an officer would be there asking questions about the stuff you’re bringing in. I’ve been waved through twice.

hi Anne, un ba ang nakalagay sa Stay Period mo? 1 month from date of arrival? coz it means na u only have 1 month to stay here..ex. if you arrived August 25, hangang September 25 ka lng stay. Pero bakit me Visa condition 8201 – Maximum 3 months study ka? coz this means pwede ka study for a maximum of 3 months. Well maximum nga pala un.

Dolly there is no certain amount. Just submit all your financial details and submit an itinerary stating the cost of your trip. If your working in Doha and will just have a vacation in aus no reason to be denied just submit employment and financial details.

Hi again guys, I have a question. What will I answer in these following questions?
Purpose of Stay: Tourist/Visit family or friends
“Give details of any significant dates on which the applicant needs to be in Australia”
Here,
For Non-accompanying family members
Does the applicant have any family members not travelling to Australia who are not Australian citizens or Australian permanent residents? Yes or No
(I am the one who’s filling up my mom’s visa, I won’t be going with her. Am I going to put my name there?)
And here,
What funds will the applicant have available to support their stay in Australia?
(My mom’s visit will be funded by my aunt who lives in Australia)
I hope to hear your answers the soonest. Thank you 🙂

hi Danielle, she will be on tour only right? so that’s right,,Tourist/Visit Family or friends
just provide the dates kung kelan nya balak punta, ex. Sep 1 to 30
Yes, ilagay mo pati sarili mo.
if ur aunt will fund your mom’s stay, mentioned mo dun that she will be funded by her, accommodation, allowance, food etc. kaya dapat your aunt has proof of her financial capacity ha..kung may payslip sya (if working), bank statements, credit card statements, etc.
Ask ko lng? is your mom sponsored by your aunt? kc pwede naman sya sponsor dahil magkapatid sila. kc ur aunt will be filling up another form too e.

Hello May, thanks for answering. My mom, actually,will be sponsored by my aunt. It’s just that when I asked my aunt if she fill out the form 1419 (which is for sponsorship) she told be that she didn’t. Though, she’ll be sending us statutory declaration, and a letter of support together with her bank statements. I think I should just pick tourist/visit family or friends. 🙂
Anyway, is there any letter that mom should attach about her being unemployed?

Yes tourist/visit family n fruends..goodluck!!☺

U can bring kahit ilan pero make sure na yung bagahe mo sapat for your whole stay. Minsan kasi mag random check yung immigration sa aus. Tatanungin kung genuine ba talaga pag bisita mo sa aus. Wag ka magdala ng kahit anung papers na makapaghinala sila na you will work here or whatever. Manood ka ng border security australia, andun lahat. Search mo sa youtube. Ako nung first time ko mag travel dito, isa lang bag ko, backpack pa yun,yung pang backpacker style kasi two weeks lang naman yung intended stay ko.
