Visitor (Tourist) Visas
I tend to come down hard on these, and I regularly talk people out of them. They're not impossible to get. But you need to choose the visa that fits your situation, rather than trying to adjust your situation to suit the visa. Topping-up bank accounts and trying to make it look like the housework you do for a relative in exchange for room and board is somehow a "housekeeper" occupation…..it doesn't work, because it appears fake.
So, if you have a fiancee you want to be with, don't ask me about tourist visas. Get the visa that actually suits your situation and circumstances!
If you DO have a genuine intention to visit a friend or family member, and you do not intend working and/or overstaying, then talk to us. If your situation is genuine, we will make an application for you which explains your situation in a way that hopefully the Department will get it.
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!
