Hi baby_carrot!

Thank you. Another thing, is it important that I have my own funds even if I am sponsored? I do have my bank statement but how much should be in there to at least assure them that I can also provide own needs with the money that I have. 50K, 100K? They were not specific as to how much should be in my bank so I thought you might have an idea. ANyway, as you know not all locals do not really put their money in the bank.

They are looking for stability, so that is important. It depends on how long that you'll be staying here. Since you are sponsored you don't have to worry about your accommodation, but you need to have at least enough funds to support yourself just in case anything happens.If you'll be staying here for 3 months 60K should be ok, if you're staying longer your funds should be higher.And don't forget to get travel insurance.

I also have same problem. I want to apply to the tourist visa and all my funds are being taken care of so am wondering why do I need to give my bank statements yet my boyfriend has lodged the invitation letter that he will support me fully and he is an aussie citizen.

I have done two tourist visas for my now Pinay wife I am pretty sure 100k peso is the number they like. But just got some bad news on the last one got denied. They intimated she may not return and didn't believe she was a genuine tourist.
