Hello friends! It's me KristinCena. Welcome to my channel and in today's
video I'm gonna be sharing to you guys my first-time experience when I applied
for an Australian tourist visa as well as the requirements. So if you're
interested just please keep on watching
so before I start guys I would like to make a disclaimer I am NOT an
immigration agent so I'm just gonna be sharing to you guys my own experience so
whatever I'm gonna be saying it might be different for you and I'm just I just
like thought to share this to you guys because some of you might have like kind
of same situation with me but all I'm gonna say is that what I'm gonna be
sharing to you is like in general but the more complicated your problem(situation) is the
more you need an immigration agent because they really know what the
intricates or they really know really what to do to make your application
successful. This might help you a little bit so it might give you an idea on what
really needs to do to apply for a tourist visa. So I applied for my tourist
visa way back 2015 but I guess there's not really that has changed so much probably
the thing that changed might be the prices but more or less the requirements
would be the same. First advice that I'm gonna be telling you is that you need to
be genuine. so genuine with your intention as well
as the documents that you are uploading it must be real it must be not fake
because they are gonna use it against you you don't want to get banned or else
in the future they can still use it against you so might as well be honest
and your intention to really be staying here in Australia as a tourist so some
people come here for work I mean you can do that with other visa but not with a
tourist visa okay. So apply for a tourist visa as a student is probably one of the
easiest thing to do I think you wouldn't need
an agent. I mean an immigration agent because they can be expensive and
tourist visa is not a very complicated that you need a tourist agent because
for me I just did it with me and my my husband now but at the time he was my
boyfriend. So it's pretty easy thing to do and also guys there are two main
things when you apply as a tourist in general. So first thing that you need to
show to the Australian immigration is that you have a money to support your
entire stay here in Australia like the reality is it's so expensive here in
Australia and they don't want you to just sleep on the street or not eat
anything in your stay they just want you to show that you are gonna be alive
while you're here in Australia it's so expensive here and the second thing is
that you need to have a reason to go back to your country so don't come here
because you want to stay(for good) but yeah you really have to show a strong reason why
you will be going back that's where being a student comes in. Being a student
is one of the main reasons why you're going back to your country of course
because you're studying to where were your country is. So now let's talk about
the evidences that you can show to Australian immigration when it comes to
your finances. First, if you are a student since we're assuming you're a student.
you really don't have money I mean it would be weird that you will have enough
money to stay because you're not working yet so it's pretty reasonable that you
were going to be showing money from support of your relatives or your
parents so that's acceptable in my case the one that who supported me
was my boyfriend so he just showed Australian immigration his a pay slip
but that's it! so if you really are a working student guess in my case I
wasn't working so I needed someone to show that they have the
finances to support me during my entire stay here in Australia but if you
really are a working student..very hardworking (and) you have money to support
yourself then you're gonna be needing to submit your bank statement. There's
really not a minimum money that you can show so it's just that how long you're
gonna be staying here, your money should be enough for that or more than that
more than the budget for that. For students the evidence that you need to
show that you really are going back to your country is first, of course, because
you're studying you need to show your certificate of enrolment from your
school registrar. Second, is your study load I don't know what you call that in
your country but it's where like the load units of your subject your your
schedule and credits and the last one is your valid ID so those are just the things that
you need to show in order to convince the Australian immigration that you
really are coming back to your country so yeah that's really all that there is
and actually guys I need to remind you that for those who have relatives
and friends here in Australia they need to give you an invitation(letter) so they need
to write an invitation, scan it, then upload it when you apply for the tourist
visa. It reallyis a case to case basis guys but it's really just what I have in
my case because I was still a student I don't have work and I don't have
assets(nor properties) so that's really all that I uploaded and for applying for the tourist
visa it would take 30 days or one month one month or 30 days for Australian
immigration to give their decision. so good luck on your application and
also guys when you apply your passport should be at least six months before
expiry and also you can apply online so yeah that's it that's all that I
actually sent to Australian immigration it's just really a couple of things like
a couple of evidences probably like three, four, birth certificate and that so yeah I do
hope that this video gave you an idea on applying for tourist visa while you're
still a student and and if you want me to tell you guys on how I got my tourist
visa while I was still working just comment it down below so yeah that
completes this vide. Thank you so much guys for watching please subscribe if
