I will have my bridging program at IHNA. I will get the business short stay visa as what the school recommended, it will be a 3month stay visa and you can be approved for a multiple entry for a year like what happened to my friend.

Hi guys,

just a quick question regarding the visa to apply..

can I apply on a student visa even if it's a non-cricos course? (iron program in ACFE)

the reason for that is for my partner (and maybe me during weekends) to be able to work for at most 20hours a week.

thanks in advance

Hi everyone! Im just new here. Im having problems with my application for such a long time now. 2 years ago, I worked at a government hospital in SAudi and signed for a 2-year contract, however because of some personal reasons, I went back to the Philippines earlier than expected. I just worked there for 2 months. Because of a very tragic incident, since they wont let me have an emergency leave, which I totally understood because I am still not a regular nurse at that time, I then decided to resign and surprisingly, they accepted my resignation but with some considerations, one of which is that they will not issue a certificate of employment for me. I also was not able to file for a registration/license as a nurse under SAudi Council (which is basically like a PRC in Phils.), because one of the requirements was to complete a 3-month probationary period, which I did not complete. It was actually the first time that I worked as an OFW nurse, so I did not mind such documents were actually important. So when I came back here in the Philippines, AFter a year, I decided to apply in Australia. I already complied with all the requirements, but my case officer asked that I should provide a Certificate of REgistration or a Certificate of Good Standing from my SAudi employer. This is where my BIG problem comes in. I have contacted my colleague who is still in SAudi right now, asking a favor to request the said document in my behalf, I had all the necessary scanned emails from AHPRA to show supporting documents to the Saudi Nursing Admin that I badly needed that certification. However, it is just now that I knew that Saudi employers are not that considerate to nurses from other countries. They will not issue any certification in my behalf since I have not file for a registration under SAudi Council. MEaning, they do not have my file because in the first place, I was not able to register. And so, I emailed my case officer several times, asking desperately to just waive the said Certification because after all options I took, the SAudi Council cannot send them anything. What really made me sad and hopeless is that, Ahpra Staff are not that considerate and worst, they will have to withdraw my application because of that single document, which I feel is very unfair in my part. Can someone give me an advice on what to do...I filed last SEptember 2011 under WA,by the way.....I really dont want to waste 1 year of waiting and the fact that I have spent a huge amount of money all for NOTHING. Please really need some suggestions....

Hello! I having problems too with my CGS from saudi arabia. What I can suggest is to appeal on saudi councill office to release a certificate stating you are not registered. Asked a friend to do it since sending them mails won't work, done that. THough mine is worst. They will not release a hard copy of my CGS to my relative, it should be done personally. Sounds silly but it how their system works. Appreciate if you can leave some comments if positive outcome arrives. Thanks!

Im.wondering why they would not release your certificate of good standing. As for my casrle, the hospital where I worked before was the one who requested for me. I just filled out the form, paid the fee and then they processed my papers.

Just like what she mentioned, she was not able to apply for registration because she's not able to complete the required 3 months probationary period that is why Saudi will not release any Certificate of Good Standing. Maybe (in my opinion), she should've not mentioned her employment in Saudi because as far as i can see, it caused her a lot of trouble in her application for Australia.. Anyway, just apply for CGS in our home country.. It will only take for few days. :)
