mathilde9Visitor Visa 600 - Business Stream can be used for tourism?
mathilde9
I realized my current sc600 visa is expiring this month, and took the initiative to apply again. Yes, you can apply for a new one while you still have a valid visa. There's a warning message in IMMI website stating the valid visa will be overridden with the decision of the new application. I took the risk haha. I got approved today still with 3 years validity ME. In my cover letter, I explained why I cannot wait until my current visa expires, and that I have an ongoing sc190 visa application. Inasikaso ko na para hindi masyadong malapit sa period where my 190 grant is anticipated (haha praning feelingera lang). If you need guidance for tourist visa, message me. Will be glad to be of help. **Add**: wala pong service fee! Haha baka ma-report pa. [preview]

@DreamerB _copied _ (Sa case niyo po kung kayo naman legal parent kahit hindi kasama spouse mo, okay na yun and no need for dswd clearance. Visa lang yung need.) **MINORS EXEMPTED FROM SECURING A TRAVEL CLEARANCE** The only exemptions to the DSWD travel clearance are minor children who are: -travelling with either parent -travelling with the legal guardian -immigrants to another country and are holding a valid permanent residency card, dependents visa, or other pass issued by another country which proves residency with parents abroad. A minor who holds a permanent residency card of another country, or a valid pass such as dependents (visa/pass/identification or permanent resident visa/pass/identification card is no longer required to secure travel clearance from DSWD) -not a Filipino citizen and are holding a foreign passport A minor who is a Filipino citizen and living abroad but does not hold either a permanent resident visa or equivalent pass issued by another country is required to secure a travel clearance.

LuxiyaFinding Timber Flooring In Canberra? Come Flooring 2 You
Luxiya
**Why choose timber flooring?** Timber flooring can be installed as solid timber or engineered boards. Engineered boards have the same feel and natural look of real species timber and are the perfect options for those who love timber but need to watch their budget. The cross laid solid Hevea Core and Spruce backing layer means you can enjoy your favourite timber species for a fraction of the price. The best thing about timber floorboards is that the more you live on them, the more awesome they look! Timber flooring has an appeal that goes way beyond simple aesthetics. It’s a look and feel that touches the heart in a way other flooring types can’t. There’s just something about the look of timber that gives off a beautiful character to any space, be it a home or a business. The natural tones and variations of hardwood floors are simply gorgeous, providing a robust and warm feel. The addition of wooden flooring brings a luxurious style that’s hard to imitate, and brings up the value of the property, too. Compared to laminate it’s more hardwearing and can be sanded or even re-stained lasting for generations. It also provides a much more authentically natural and timeless look than concrete or tiles. So, pop into one of our showrooms or browse the ranges on Flooring 2 You to discover what we already know – there’s magic in Flooring 2 You! [preview] **What we do in Flooring 2 You?** We specialise in crafted engineered timber flooring. From product supply to install, to maintenance and aftercare, our team provides comprehensive support. You’ll find every aspect of your flooring needs taken care of. No matter which option you choose from our range of hardwood floors, or custom timber solutions, you’ll be met with excellent products and service every time. Our team’s expertise in installation, parquetry and stairs, means you’ll have beautiful timber floors to last you for the years to come.
