Why You Must Visit
Get on a plane. If you are serious about the lady, go and meet her in person!
Visiting the Philippines is essential for Australian men in relationships with Filipina women seeking visas. You won't get a visa for her if you haven't met in person. Meeting demonstrates a genuine relationship for tourist visa applications.
Partner visas (spouse or fiancee) require an in-person meeting per Australian migration law. Understanding her culture and family is important for the relationship. There's no substitute for experiencing the Philippines firsthand.
