@rnmh My partner and I were recently granted 189 visas (Jan 14). Nag sched na kami ng PDOS for Jan 29. We plan to do the initial entry together sa holyweek. Then baka mauna ako pero start of 2020 pa tapos siya siguro end of 2020. No issue naman yun for as long as maka enter kami sa date indicated sa grant diba (vefore Sept 2019)?
Yes. No issue.
And ano kailangan for initial entry just the PDOS and grant letter?
Yes. Passport xempre. 😉 hehe
Nabalitaan ko na with the sticker exempted from the 1620 tax. Only on flights to Australia? What if may tourist trip ako to HK for example di counted
Sa first time yata, hindi exempted. Sinabi din sa PDOS na we have to pay travel tax. Pero pagbalik mo the following applies:
Filipino permanent residents abroad whose stay or visit in the Philippines is less than one year. Need ng travel tax exemption certificate.

We’ll also be doing the IE for around 10 days— ok na ba magasikaso ng documents sa Australia noon (&ipadala sa bahay ng friend namin) or pag nag big move na talaga?
Bank and phone asikasuhin nyo cguro. The rest sa big move na since mejo matagal pa bago kayo mag big move. But if you like to really process, pede nmn i try. Hehe.
