Also for documents, needed and skills assessment before lodging your EOI.
Possible documents to be lodged for visa application (collate these even before EOI for faster processing assuming you have high points for 189 [75-80] points):
Personal Identity:
-passport
-birth certificate
-other ids if needed
Skills Assessment:
- by Vetassess or any other skills assessing body
Education
-Transcripts and diplomas
Job Documents:
- CV
- Certificate of Employment (in format containing hours of work a week, position, job description, duration of employment, salary, working full-time or part-time)
- payslips, at least 1-2 a year
- ITRs, SSS payments
Language Proficiency::
- Results of language exam (ielts, toefl, pte, etc)
Character Check:
- police certificates where you currently live and:
if you have lived in a country for more than 6 months
To follow na yung health declaration because I think you need the HAP ID first (possible only upon payment of visa.)
For partner skills, i think you might need to have your partner skills assessed by an accredited assessing body and have her language proficiency tested.
