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.</blockquote>

Travel tax I believe are paid at the airport mismo...

At least that is what happened in our case.

Hi! Just double checked IOM's info and indeed, "Taxes are inclusive of all Airline taxes and Philippine travel tax". We will pay terminal fee at the airport.

Hi, for CFO purposes everyone is required to register prior to departure but there are exemptions with regard to the seminar. If I remember correctly, one exemption is if you have been in your home country for at least two years, then you are not required to attend the seminar but you will still have to register with CFO at the Quirino Ave. office.

Hi Guys, just want to verify...i already did the online tfn application and the system has given me a reference number, can i quote this number when i open a bank account? Or should i wait for the actual tfn # that will be sent to me after ato processed my application?

@deppesteves I would suggest that you open your bank account within 6 weeks after arriving, because beyond this time frame you would be required by the bank to have 100 points ID check, you can just update you TFN details on your bank account after you received the actual TFN fram ATO (reference number will not be accepted by the bank). Hope this helps. Thanks!

A TFN is not required to open a bank account so having said that open your bank account now and jut provide your TFN once you have it...

Hope this helps!

@dhey_almighty - you can apply for TFN during your IED <b>if you have an address where they can send your TFN</b>, say an address of a friend...

Several of my friends did this previously and there were no issues...

^we did this when we did our initial entry in Brisbane. we used a friend's address in Brissy.

now that we settled in, we just phoned ATO to change our address since we are based in Perth.

dhey_almighty

thanks thanks sa info...

will do this...

Hi, nakareceive po ako ng email from SA at nagcongratulate sa grant ko. Meron sila binigay na link for registration once we arrive in SA. But we are not asked to register if we are only coming to Oz for visa activation lang.

@ruelcortez_BH thats for the survey po. Kaya kung mag initial entry lang kayo for a few days, indi pa kelangan yan.
