Things to do first "After" arriving in Australia

Yes @ringo is correct. Para less hassle pag dating sa NAIA immigration, just attend CFO for the sticker. It is quite fast and as usual, nde mawawala ang processing fee.

CFO seminar upon departure? Hmmm... Sounds very dodgy!! ahahaha... 🙂

staycool

kse kung meron namang UPON departure then pwede na ata ako dun...heheh...pero to make it safe, a week before departure will do (i think?)

just get the CFO its only 1/2 day anyway to avoid the hassle mas worth it na ummattend na lang.. i think their only office is in Quirino Ave. nung ummattend kami ng seminar konti lng ang pupuntang Au puno yung pa US.. pero maraming useful facts naman na dinisuss sa seminar worth it naman din like how to start life in Au, mga bawal dalhin, embassy etc...

and may discount sa airport tax ata pag may CFO ka sa passport.. instead of P2k we are only charged around P400 lng.. its more worth it that getting worthless and stressful 'OEC' back when i was still working in Singapore

@staycool @TasBurrfoot - i think they are referring sa mga pumunta na sa AU na hindi dumaan sa pinas..

so once na nag vacation ka sa pinas, pwede kana kumuha ng CFO upon departure..

hindi ito pwede sa mga mag iinitial entry na galing sa pinas..

FYI lng po for all. regardless kung ilang taon ka na sa abroad, basta immigrant na nag entry sa Pinas e kelangan umattend ng PDOS at dapat may CFO sticker sa passport. Pag wala kang sticker, pasensyahan na lng po pagdating sa airport. record po ung sticker para malaman nila na in case magkaproblema sa country na pupuntahan mo, alam nila kung ilan ang ililikas na Pinoy kung nde ka pa citizen sa bagong bansa mo.

For transport?

There is a lot of them here along Parramatta road ( if you are close to Sydney CBD )

Dont worry much normally pwede mong i test drive , pwede mo i check ang history at pwede mo patingnan sa mekaniko bago ka makabili .....

without a TFN you may not be allowed to be employed or if pwede man, you will be taxed at the highest bracket...

Pero kung via IOM kaya, meron parin? Lam ko inclusive na sa fee nila ang travel tax. Anyone can verify this po? Those who availed of IOM's service and still got a travel tax discount? Thank you.
