<blockquote class="Quote" rel="jesskendrick">Hi, We are a filipino family of 5 from Riyadh, KSA; and we have received our Permanent (SI 189) visa last Aug 30, also from Riyadh... we plan to travel on Dec 1st direct from Riyadh to Sydney. I'm writing to seek your advice in regards to the pre-departure seminar.. Is it mandatory? What options do we have if we intend to travel direct from Riyadh to Sydney??</blockquote>
PDOS/CFO is Philippine immigration requirement. Since lilipad kayo direct from riyadh, no need to undergo ng seminar. Later pag umuwi kayo ng pinas( still on PR visa not Australian citizen), you need to attend kasi di kayo papabalikin unless may CFO sticker passport nyo
