After the Initial Entry...

emboll33

Hi all,

So nakapag Initial Entry na kame last July 2013 (189 visa) and we stayed for just a few days lang sa Sydney as in pasyal lang talaga hindi kame nag register or apply ng bank account etc. Right now wala kame sa Pilipinas ng family ko since September 2013 and we will be back sa pinas next September 2014 pa. Then ang plan kasi is mauuna ko sa Oz by November 2014 then by January 2015 susunod yung wife and daughter ko.
Questions:
1)Wala ba ko dapat ipresent na ibang documents kung matagal ako bumalik sa australia (and sa Pinas)? Wala ba magiging problem pag ganito?
2) atleast ilang months valid ang passport para makapag travel to australia? malapit na din kasi ma expire ang passport ng wife ko kung by 2015 sya lilipad to Oz less than a year na lang valid.

TIA

No need to present anything... You are afterall an immigrant already as far as Au and Ph immigration officers are concerned (after doing the initial entry...)

6 month validity is always enforced no matter where you go... Having said this, renew your passport as it is cheaper in the Philippines than here in Australia not to mention hassle pa gawin ito dito.

Follow up lang, if mag renew ng passport before going to Australia then magbabago na yung passport details from the approved Visa dba? so kailangan pa i update sa DIAC? gano kaya katagal un? thanks
