Kung maliit lang ang budget mo, mas mainam na wag nag mag-agent.
Pero kung may pera naman kayo at sabi mo ay busy kayo, maghanap lang kayo ng mahusay na agent para hindi sayang ang ibabayad ninyo sa serbisyo nila.

Pero sa totoo lang, madali lang magapply sa Australia. Lahat ng information ay nasa website nilA. Tapos, maraming mga internet forums na nagpoprovide ng mga additional information. Kailangan mo nga lamang ng maraming oras para magbasa.

Ang mahirap kasi sa agent, hindi mo kontrolado ang application mo. Kung ano lang ang sabihin nila, yun lang ang pinaghahawakan mo. Samantalang pag sarili mong apply, bawat step, bawat development, alam mo. Mahalaga kasi ito for peace of mind.

my two cents.

hello pexers,

tanong lang po kung mayron po dito na nakamigrate or under migration process na po to AU under skilled migrant na gumamit ng migration agent na Migration Avenue?
ok po ba ito na migration agent?
may ibang migration agent po ba kayong marerecommend na mejo affordable ang mga fees?
ito ang mga chinacharge nila:

stage 1 (assessment stage) 2-4 months processing/waiting time
commencement (of application) fee = AUD 800
Disbursement fee = 90 AUD

stage 2 (application stage) 6-12 months processing/waiting time
Application [processing] fee = 800 AUD

stage 3 (PR granted stage)
retainer fee = 200 AUD

ndi pa po kasali jan ang ielts, skills assessment fee, DIAC application fee, nbi clearance at medical exam fee. purely professional fee lang po yang sa taas.

baka kasi may ibang agency na mejo affordable naman or ganito ba talaga ang range ng fees ng mga migration agents?

tia.

yung diac application for PR is around $AU2K+

mura na yan...kasi yung mga kilala ko dito.walang bababa ng $AU5k..service fee pa lang...

To all people who wants help on visas. I suggest to get a migration officer in Australia. Make sure they are accredited and affiliated with M.A.R.A. You will spend huge amount of money with agencies.

No need to agency fee or whatsoever. Get in touch with them for more information.

hello Pexers!

we need advice po re: study and working in au

Me and my hubby decided to go to Au habang bata pa and wala pang baby. Since walang skilled na pwede for both our occupation last resort namin is student visa. I have red many forums re student visa but still we are confuse and afraid as well to pursue Au.

Ask ko lang po,
1. Mahirap po bang makahanap ng work with student visa holder wd 20 hr/week restriction but my hubby can work unlimited since masters naman kukunin ko (true ba ito??)
2. We can afford the tuition fee for 1st sem and yung pocket money namin around 250,000 Php ay utang lang so we need to find work asap.
3. Sa Victoria Uni in Melbourne ako papasok since yun na yung pinakamura na tuition fee at $9000 . Ok po ba ang school na to?
4. I have red in many forum na racial discrimination in Melbourne is rampant based sa mga indian students (how true po ba ito).
5. We can still change the city/uni coz dpa ako ngbabayad ng Tuition fee. Any suggestion if sang city maganda for students and san mabilis makahanap ng work?


Thank you in advance.

why melbourne? super expensive dun. anyway, kung gusto mo work agad at di ka naman mapili, go to an agency and ask anong work pwede ***. yung mga classmates ko tumanggap ng work as cleaner, kitchen staff, waitress,,,, para lang makapagsurvive nung una. eventually nakahanap din sila ng work na related sa course nila as carer sa nursing home. ayun lang

[my_identity]

Tanong ko lang, kasi mag-a-apply kami ng Australian Visa pero sa December pa talaga ang flight namin. May timeframe ba kung kelan lang puwede mag-apply (like 6 months before departure) or anytime puwede mag-apply? Gusto kasi namin din habulin yung murang flights habang maaga pa pero gusto muna namin mag-secure ng visa bago mag-book.

[Rabi Gabrielle]

Depends on the validity of the visa..i you apply this month, and the visa expires after six months, you have to be there not later than november..if u plan to visit ng december, apply aug or sept..i was given 6months validity..but it can be shorter for others

[dikonaalam]

question, for 457 visa (temporary resident - working visa). Is this a label-free visa, the one that you don't have to get stamped at the Australian embassy?

If that's the case, how would 457 visa holders apply for a POEA exit clearance?

And is there a way to bypass this POEA requirement?

[gentle_touchee]

ano ano requirements for a tourist visa? as in yung specifics po? nakalagay kasi yung mga vague info lang like proof of finances, proof of employment/business, etc etc..

profile ko:

30-something
-single
-business mostly franchises like water station, laundry, drug store
properties-hacienda(lol, in the province, alam mo naman ganun dun, pero nung nag CARP, 7 hectares na lang natira sakin), car registered under my name, 3 year old model na nga lang, at walang balak bumili uli ng bago for the next 2 years!
-bank- ok naman. 7 figures pero di naman major major na 7 figures.
-travel-halos buong asean and HK.
-education- LLB pero di ko na ginamit at nag negosyo na lang.

Its better to ask assistance to an expert like some attorneys that are expert in visa and immigration issue in your problem.

may kamag-anak or kaibigan ka ba sa AU?..if so hingi ka ng invitation letter

-bank certificate, isama mo lahat ng documents related sa mga ari-arian mo at business
-photo copy ng all pages ng passport mo (yun may mga may stamped lang).
-hindi mo kailangan kumuha ng agent kasi napaka basic lang nung mga tanong sa application
-NBI clearance,birth certificate,marriage cert
-medical if you want to stay morethan 3 months
-accomodation info mo sa AU kung *** kang kamaganak or kaibigan

i was a 457 holder before..medyo magulo yang POEA clearance na yan..but anyway kumuha ka na lang para walang aberya sa airport..

naalala ko kasi nakailangan uwi na ako sa PH hindi naman ako hiningan ng POEA clearance...pero one time hiningan ako pero pinatuloy pa din ako at ang sabi next time kumuha daw ako...

pero kung ako sa iyo better to get a POEA clearance

thanks.

before this, I worked in the US. I went through this POEA process and had a VERY TERRIBLE experience. It took me almost a week to finish all the requirements. But if I go this route, what are the requirements for those going to Australia? I can't find the information on the website.

And does it mean I need to have a medicals again to satisfy the POEA requirement? If I have to, then I think it's a waste of time and money since we already have that requirement when we applied for the 457 visa (well at least that's my case since I'm required to have a full medical because of my job).

[travelvisamanila]

If you are going to apply for tourist visa to Australia, make sure that you can present financial documents to prove that you can support yourself while touring the country and of course to show that you will just get back to the Philippines after your allowed stay in Australia.
Aside from the financial requirement, you also need to meet health and character requirements.

Good day! I am a licensed teacher wanting to migrate to Australia but there is a job order from a POEA agency needing a secondary teacher sa Australia din. Saan pong category papasok kung may offer na work? Hoping for your responses. Thanks!

[czha_z]
