    hello..im about to pay for the visa of my hubby and it will cost me around 3520Aud..Nagtaka lng kasi ako sa website if I use the estimator ang lumalabas in peso is Php144000. But sabi naman they will use the existing current rate which is much lower kasi mababa dollar now. Medyo na confuse lng ako. Also, would it be better if I use credit card ba or ung mastercard debit? As of now my only option is the mastercard debit (metrobank) but if ok ang cc gawan ko nlng ng paraan.. thanks

    Hi All,

    Im new on thia thread. Was looking for information abt 496. Just to share, i applied as well in Aug 2007 and i got my Co last end Feb. Request for Medical, Police clearance, english doc for my husband and add'l document for my brother since he's included in our application due 28 days after receipt of notice.

    I sent form 1022 regarding change of circumstances ( new born)- after 1 wk i received a request for medical of my new born.

    Hopefully we can complete all documents in time.

    Just like to check, from reading the prior post after submitting the documents normal waiting time is around 3-6 months more?

    @Joselito, welcome. kung tama tanda ko ung last entry date na Feb 2016 ibig sabihin dapat mag IE kayo before Feb 2016. So kung IE kayo next month, walan naman problema kung alis ka uli and balik na sa 2016. May kilala ako na gumawa na ng ganyan.

    Requirement sa 496 to stay in a designated area for a period of 2 years and to have an equivalent of 1yr fulltime job (38hrs/week of work multiplied by 52 weeks/yr). Hindi ibig sabihin tuloy-tuloy ang work mo. Hindi din ibig sabihin na dapat fulltime lang ang trabaho. pde ka part time basta mabuo mo ang 38hrs X 52 weeks bago magexpire ang visa.

    Tungkol naman sa travel tax, hindi ko na maalala e, sorry. LOL

    @Joselito For visa 496, walang seminar sa Commission on Overseas Filipinos kasi provisional visa lang ito.

    When you depart from NAIA, you need to pay the travel tax. Kailangan mo ding magbayad ng terminal fee if this was not included in your air ticket.

    @athenalady14 the secondary applicant in 496 can be the primary applicant in PR application as long as he/she meets the requirements: 2-yr residence and 1-yr fulltime work.

    For husband and wife, kung sino man ang mauna sa kanila na makapagmeet sa requirements (2-yr residence AND 1-yr fulltime work) can be the primary applicant sa PR application. The primary applicant MUST meet BOTH the 2-yr residence and 1-yr fulltime work.

    @Joselito yes i think so, you will not pay terminal fee and travel tax pag may OEC ka. Ang itinerary mo ba is dubai-manila, manila-aus, then aus-dubai?
