Free books
We just added a free book to our site. It's a condensed travel guide, written by Perry Gamsby, invaluable for anyone traveling to the Philippines for the first time.
For those visiting the Phils for the first time, you need to be aware that this is a "third world" country. It's not like popping over to New Zealand. It's crowded. Parts of it are quite polluted. Driving is erratic and generally scary to the uninitiated. And significantly, you ARE a "rich man" here, which means you are a target. So watch your valuables, and realise that you ARE a target. Watch out for scams, particularly. Filipinos are generally wonderfully kind people, but poverty pushes people to extremes.
So, enjoy the book. And consider a moderate investment into a few of the complete books, especially if you plan on marrying a local. To understand the culture is to understand HER better. And Perry knows how to explain things in a way the average Aussie understands.
Who are Down Under Visa? Who is Jeff Harvie?
Jeff Harvie and the Down Under Visa team have been doing this for a lot of years! Down Under Visa have brought thousands of couples to Australia from South East Asia over the years. Mostly from the Philippines, but we help increasing numbers of couples where the visa applicant is from China, Thailand, Vietnam or Cambodia. And what this means is we see a lot of success....and we also see failures when people go it alone after talking to their mate, or their relative, or that minimal-care-no-responsibility Facebook group run by Steve and Maribeth based on their own visa application! One application, and they feel qualified to advise others! It's not even LEGAL to do that!
