Form 80

Gori

I am checking all the required forms for DIAC as I need to have everything ready, I will be on a cruise for 2 weeks (no or limited internet) while waiting for the invitation so it means I have to prepare in advance.

I came across Form 80 and it says to list down all the countries I traveled. For the past 10 years I traveled to more than 30 countries.

My inquiry is

Should I declare all the countries I traveled?
I was sent on a business trip in Germany for 6 months should I declare it?
Also I traveled to Sydney for 1 day with a transit visa to NZ. Should I declare this?
What is the required length of stay to be requested for a police clearance?

My concern is that maybe CO will ask me for a police clearance for these countries I stayed. and it will be tedious to secure police clearance from these countries.

@Gori .. you need to get police clearance on countries you stayed for 1 yr in the last 10 yrs.... so yung mga short business trips di ka na hingan ng police clearance... pero yung mga business trips na short pero madami namang beses na mag total ng 1 yr.. baka hingan ka... pls see below notes in GSM booklet..

"In order for the Australian Government to determine whether you are of good character, you may be asked to provide police certificates for each country you have resided in for 12 months or more over the last 10 years, including Australia. More information on penal clearances is available from the department’s website www.immi.gov.au/allforms/"

@multitasking - reading from your timeline, nagsimula ka na mag process ng PCCs even before hindi ka pa approved for VIC SS?

multitasking

@Gori .. yup nag process na ako.. kasi for both countries (Australia and US) nag stay ako ng more than 1 yr.. so i assume na hihingin nila yan.. eh yung sa US medyo matagal kaya ni request ko na... para pag may invitation na.. tuloy tuloy na...

@Gori, hi! Same tau ng concern. Seaman ang hubby ko at world wide ang byahe nila. Iniisip ko kung ilalagay din namin lahat ng countries na napuntahan nya. Ang dami nun.. #:-S

@jane, Hello, I stayed in the US for 6 months, and worked in Sg for 2 years. I had to declare this because I think you are supposed to declare countries you've visited or stayed in for at least 6 months (if I remember right, they asked for 6 months' stay and up). I think sa hubby mo, short visits lang naman to those countries di ba? Alam ko they will ask for PCC only if you've stayed in the country for a year or more. Still you need to decLare 6 months' stay and up.

Pero alam mo, my CO didn't ask for PCC from either US or kahit Singapore where I stayed for 2 yrs. As in, I only submitted my NBI clearance, and that was it. 8->

@Jane: there are two sections in Form 80:

Section 44. Have you travelled to Australia before? Have you travelled to any countries other than Australia (including short stays) during the last 10 years?

so i guess dito papasok ang mga short stays ng seaman... hindi naman talga kasi sira tumitira sa isang lugar..
countries lang nmn ang kailangan, at wala namang required na address.. so example pwede nyo ilagay, Date: Jan 1 2012-Dec 1, 2012, Visited countries: Malaysia, Singapore, HK.. Reason for Visit. Job: Seaman..
for me, madami na rin akong napuntahan, at inisa isa ko talga ang tatak sa 5 passports ko.. so I used an extra page at in-attached ko sa form 80..

Section 45. List, in chronological order, the addresses of the places where you have lived during the last 10 years (including Australia). You must account for every year. If you are unable to provide an address for any period of time please provide an explanation. (If insufficient space, give details at Part J)

eto ang section kung saan kailangan nyo talga ng specific address..
so kung ang base (residence) ni mister is philippines, eh di philippines lang po ang kailangan nyo ilagay dito..
at kung may lugar man kung saan sya nag base example for more than 12 months eh nag stay sya sa isang lugar, then kailangan din ilagay dito...
eto ang basis ng CO, sa pag-require sa inyo kung kailangan nyong kumuha ng PCC sa certain country/ies na tinirhan nyo for atleast 12 months..

@lock_code2004, Eto nga po ang concern ko "Have you travelled to any countries other than Australia, including any visits back to your country of citizenship during the past 10 years (including short stays)?" Pwede po bang hindi na isa isahin ung countries na napunthan nya? Like ung sa example nyo po, Jan 1, 2012 - Dec 1, 2012 tas ilalalgay na lang lahat ng bansa? Or dapat in details tlga? For example Jan 1-15, Malaysia. Parang ang dami kc kung iisa isahin and i'm not sure kung dinala nya ung old passports nya. Wala pa rin kc syang signal ngaun kaya dko pa natatanong..

Thanks po sa matyagang pagsagot sa mga tanong namin. God bless us po..

lock_code2004

@jane - yun nga po, kung kaya nyo mag provide ng mas detailed info, mas maganda.. most likely alam nyo naman kung kelan ang vacation nya sa pinas so pwedeng ganito:

Jan 1, 2012- Oct 31, 2012: Malaysia, Singapore, HK: Travelling as Seaman (On-Board)

Nov 1, 2012- Dec 31, 2012 - Philippines: Off-Board/Vacation

Pag bumababa po ba sila sa port eh tinataatakan ang passport nila? or hindi?

kung hindi, possibleng ganyan na lang po..

kung may details, at kaya nyo naman, mas maganda..

jane

@lock_code2004 , meron po yatang tatak sa passport nya. pero malamang hindi nya dala ang lumang passport nya at wala din ako sa pinas ngaun. dko pa kc sya nakakausap kc wala pa din sya signal. malamang nga po gagawin na lang namin yang suggestion nyo, pagsama samahin na lang namin ung date at mga countries.

thanks po ulit. god bless po

jane

@lock_code2004, ask ko lang po. pano po pag nakapunta na ng Australia si hubby pero d na po nya maalala ung mga date? Wala daw po kc syang makitang tatak ng AU immigration sa passport nya. Ano po kayang pwede naming gawin? Thanks po sa matyagang pagsagot sa mga tanong namin. God bless us po..

lock_code2004

@jane - kung wala po talagang tatak sa passport.. technically hindi sya pumasok sa AU (as per their records)...

double check.. kung wala talga.. eh wag nyo na po isama..

jane

@lock_code2004, pacheck ko na lang po ulit sa kanya once na maibalik na sa kanya ung passport nya. Asa Indonesia kc sila ngaun at hawak ng tga immigration ung passport nila, ibabalik na lang daw pag paalis na sila. napapatagal ang application namin dahil sa form 80. hayyyy.. 🙁

Good day po! Ask ko lang po regarding sa pagfill-out ng Part F- Employment history. Nilagay nyo pa din po ba sa table yung period na unemployed kayo or all employed history lang? Then explain na lang po sa Part T kung bakit unemployed for a specific period? Thank you po

Hi! Ako po nilagay ko lahat pati 'yung mga unemployed duration. As per template ng Form 80, ilalagay po lahat ng details ng employment and unemployment. And then if my gaps sa timeline, you can further explain it sa Part T po. Good luck po 🙂

hrrivs

Dun po sa way ng pagfifill-out nyo, nilagay nyo po dun sa main table ng Part F yung lahat lang ng employed duration? Then sa Part T na lang po yung unemployed? Or nandun din po sa table ng Part F yung unemployed details? Thanks po!

Lahat po nilagay ko lang sa Part F. Hindi ko po ginamit ang Part T.

Sabi po kasi sa NOTE, all employment and unemployment history with no gaps in the timeline. So technically, wala po talagang gap dapat kung properly made-declare po ang timeline. Part T is I think for further explanation lang po kung may kailangang linawin na concern about sa timeline. This is my understanding lang po. Good luck!
