Pwede ba buhayin tong thread na to? Hehe.

Nacurious lang ako sa CERS kasi I feel like it's a good document to keep in handy as proof of one's permanent residency status, especially since we don't have visa labels on our passports anymore, and the visa grant letter can be printed by anyone, really.

Has anyone availed of the CERS recently? 😃

@LakiMasel

Were you able to get your copy already?

@jandm

Basta dala mo yung visa grant letter mo, all will be well! Hehehe. Ako naman ang concern ko ay sa work. Gusto kong marami akong proof na talagang permanent resident ako and I have the means to work there. Sa June 5 ang flight ko. Kayo po ba? 🙂

jandm

@sunflower ay nasa signature mo pala ung flight mo to Oz di ko napansin agad haha..kmi naman last week of April siguro wala pang definite date ksi di pa nakakapagfile ng leave si hubby from work 🙂

Hello, here's the link on how to apply for CERS. $100 yung fee.

Usually, employers are using VEVO to verify our status with the visa grant number and your details. Pero you might still want to have the certificate.

I think more than for records purposes, magagamit itong CERS to apply for travel tax exemption

Yung immigration office sa brissy cbd, libre lang yung service kung hihingi ka ng documentation regarding your stay in the country. Detailed pa yung in and out dates mu kung mag travel ka outside the country. You can use this as evidence for your PR or citizenship application.

@jandm hello, I haven't. 🙂

Yung visa grant notice lang yung kailangan and passport. CERS is not required.

I went to TIEZA kanina. Yung Php200 processing fee lang binayaran. Hiningan din ako ng copy ng passport page with immigration stamp of last arrival do to sa Philippines.

Reminder lang po to secure your Tax Exemption Certificate prior to having your tickets issued para ma-deduct na yung travel tax sa total amount. Kapag naissue yung ticket without the TEC, magfi-file pa ng refund either kay:

1) airline - if they haven't remitted the travel tax to TIEZA yet; or

2) TIEZA - na for sure medyo matagal.

okay pala kung ganun sis. last arrival sa pinas, meaning sa unang punta sa Au / initial entry hindi pa puede magpaexempt sa travel tax?

Sana nga sis, pero sa recent trend mga 90 days from visa lodgement e at 10 weeks+ from first CO contact..

nutellagirl

@ram071312 actually sis, hindi ko natanong. But here is the number of TIEZA Makati in case you want to verify with them:

551-9533 🙂

Yes, if you do initial entry you still need to pay travel tax...
