Visa to Australia.

Aussie Dave

I have lived in the Philippines for approx four years and I am going back to Australia in September for a six week holiday, but my lady friend who is a Filipino wants to go with me.
Could somebody please help me out here with information on how I can obtain an Australian visa for her to accompany me?
She has a passport, owns no property, is not employed right now, but has money in the bank.
We live together and have no intentions of getting married, although we are engaged.
I am financially able to support her ( I am an Australian citizen) but most of my contacts in Australia have either died, or I have lost contact with, so I will be living in holiday rentals.
My question is... what is the best way to apply for a visa for her, and what type of visa does she apply for, and is it best to do it online or through an agent?
I have heard so many stories of what to do but I am so confused, and would like somebody who could give me positive information and not hearsay.
We are renting here in the Philippines and have a yearly rental contract, and I have no intentions of going back to Australia to live after our holiday.
I am desperate to sort this out so as I can start planning ahead.
Would be very appreciative to anybody who can help me here.

Am quiet sure, he did mention he was not married to her, but she is a fiancee...so i don't know how your suggestion will work.

I suggest you find a trusted agency equipped in the procedure on getting a tourist visa for your fiancee.  With your citizenship and financial background..it won't be hard to get her a tourist visa. But i hope someone with good knowledge on that will come throw more light on the subject matter.

Aussie Dave

Thank you flex 14, yes you read my message correctly, I am not married and thank you for your suggestion.

Number one, you do not go to the embassy, you must use their service agency. Easy to do it all yourself from their online site. They're interested in your history together and her showing intent to leave.

Hi! Is this really possible?  I mean no as long as tou showed your marriage certificate and fill up the form they will give you a tourist visa? No need for proof that you will vome back here in the Philippines like title of a property? 

Thank you...

For a tourist visa to Australia you can apply on line:

http://philippines.embassy.gov.au/mnla/ … isas2.htmlhttps://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/6 … plications

To start an online application you will need to login to your ImmiAccount. If you do not have an ImmiAccount you will be prompted to create one.
You must add as much information as possible before you submit your application. Applications with missing information might take longer to finalise.

Hi Aussie Dave

I would like to hear how you go on with the Visa for your GF.

I am in a very similar situation, long term GF but not married.

Would enjoy hearing any advise from your experience.

Iglot

Marry her thats the best way u can bring her in aus

Lerrie

Base on my experienced.. tourist visa is the best  for her as a first timer to visit in Australia.

OzFreddie

The biggest barrier is that she needs to prove in some way that she won't defect and stay in Australia. This is usually done with a letter from an employer and/or by owning real estate or a business or by having children to return to in Philippines. Where it is not possible to provide these, I am not sure what the solution is.

In any case, she will need to show that she can support herself while in Australia by way of a bank statement or by you or someone in Australia sponsoring her and stating that all her air fares, accommodation and expenses will be covered and bank statements will need to be shown for that.

I've been deny by the au.immigration,  no financial ties in Philippines, no currently work but I'm ex abroad from hk, I have invitations from Australian, and he carried all my needs,  but still refuse, 
Now I'm scared to try again,

Lerrie

Try again but you need to show bank statement with 100k , so you can support your self.... and try to have a work just like in real estate agent a contract only,.. which is there's a reason to going back here in Philippines. This is good for tourist visa

Andyrdaroy

Thanks lerrie, I'm looking forward for where and how to get that job
