It's an application form for you to be assessed and registered. Yes, that's the one. I assume you have passed the IELTS test already. Good Luck!

yes i have already passed the ielts. im a bit confused with some of the questions on the form like "What is your residential address?" and "Is your residential address the same as your principal place of practice in Australia?" - i guess they were assuming that im currently at Oz, so should i leave this blank or provide my address here in the phil.

thankyou danceinstructor.

place your residential address in the Philippines. And then principal place of practice is where you will lodge your application. I lodged mine in VIC so I placed melbourne victoria 3000.

thankyou so much chelseaxyrene..

im a bit confused though with the type of visa to apply for.. some say its best to take the business short-stay visa.. but its only valid for 3months, but then the BP is 12-13weeks which is morethan 3 months. So the business short-stay visa isnt enough. or if i finish the BP in 12 weeks id still be forced to fly back to Phil bec. business shortstay visa is over.. please enlighten me.. thankyou.

yes i have already passed the ielts. im a bit confused with some of the questions on the form like "what is your residential address?" -- your address here in pi. and "is your residential address the same as your principal place of practice in australia?"-- the answer is no. as to my case i placed the state/teritory where i lodged my application. - i guess they were assuming that im currently at oz, so should i leave this blank or provide my address here in the phil.

thankyou danceinstructor.

good luck!

Take things one step at a time. Do not think of the type of visa you wish to apply if you haven't got any school yet, and of course your eCOE. Your visa will depend on which school you will take your BP.
