Pre-departure Documents from Manila going to Sydney

Hello everyone! I am leaving this Sunday, May 18 for Sydney. I have this subclass 457-dependent applicant visa. I would like to know what are those essential documents aside from the Visa Grant Notice and Medicare letter. Is there any way wherein i can be excempted from paying the travel tax in NAIA 2 if i have my wife's OEC?

    Hi, is 457 visa an employment visa? Well if you have your wife's OEC, you may be exempted from paying a higher travel tax pero magbabayad ka pa din.... reduced travel tax ang tawag nila dun. but the terminal fee, still need mo pa din magbayad. but reduced travel tax will only apply once your spouse applied for it sa dept. of tourism sa kalaw, or mismo sa airport. need mo lang ipresent yung ticket mo, photo copy ng marriage contract nyo and your passports. medyo matrabaho pero worth naman kasi malaki din yung nababawas.

    the last time when we applied para sa mga bata, we only paid 250 pesos as compared sa 1K++ na actual travel tax.
