Talked to some people who went home on 491 and come back here, pinakita lang daw nila copy ng visa. Hind need ng OEC kasi temporary resident ang 491.

Be calm and you'll be fine :smile:

Also be prepared for questions, but usually need lang nila is passport, visa, boarding pass (and paid travel tax ).

Temporary PR po ang Visa 491, I dont think magkakaissue ka sa IO satin unless incomplete ang documents mo.

I can confirm na no need ang OEC para sa 491 visa holders kasi nagemail ako sa kanila. No need. You can just email them then print it para just in case hanapan ka, meron ka hard copy.

Can you also state your disposition for your email? Are you flying palang or are you already Aussie side? Thanks again!

Hi! I'm following this thread 'coz I'm in the same situation, currently doing advance research kung ano ang mga hahanapin ng mga BI for 491 visa holders, kase nga not PR, nor OFW, nor tourist, kaya nakakalito kung anong requirements ang dapat kumpletuhin para sa airport natin na napaka "kontrobersyal" ngayon.

Hi po, currently in progress po ang pag complete namin ng documents for visa 491 kasama buong family.

Tanong ko lang po sa mga naka exeprience ng visa 491 with family, to double confirm if need po ba i-fill up ung form 1229 kasi kasama naman ung wife ko sa visa application and i assume na hindi na required.

Next question po is yung additional documents, wala naman info na binigay sakin kung ano ung required. Pero as per writing, pending pa kaki ng medical exams, biometrics and police clearance.

TIA

Yes, required ang Form 1229 if you have minors included.

that was my problem as well few months ago. I asked my agent as there was no option for 491 he said it was the same as 189/190 just for you to set an appointment. They will still refer on the letter given to you on the assessment of your medical. I picked 190 so far no problem with my medical. I hope it helps.

my medical was done in St. Lukes as well few months ago

Hi! I'm flying from Perth to Manila rin next month (May 2023). I emailed POLO Canberra and here's their reply:

This was sent to me yesterday by POLO'S officer in charge.
