Tourist Visa to Australia From Philippines
From 1 July 2023 only Australian dollars are accepted for Visa Application Charge.
Visa applicants in the Philippines must complete biometric (face photograph and fingerprint scan) collection for each application lodged, irrespective of their nationality, unless they are excluded or exempt from the biometric program. Biometrics are collected through a quick and easy process that captures a photograph of your face and a 10-digit electronic fingerprint. Applicants will be required to provide their biometrics each and every time they apply for a visa. When you lodge your application online, you will be sent a request to provide personal identifiers (biometrics) via email. You should make an appointment to attend an Australian Biometrics Collection Centre (ABCC) in person to provide your biometrics. Take a copy of that email and your passport to the appointment. You must provide your biometrics within 14 days of online lodgement or notify the relevant visa processing office if unable to do so. VFS Global operates three ABCCs in the Philippines (in Manila, Cebu and Davao city). The ABCC will charge a service fee for the collection of biometrics.
Visa and citizenship applications are managed by the Department of Home Affairs. Embassy staff are unable to assist with general visa or citizenship enquiries.
