    @mistakenidentity If you have time to spare at hindi abala sa pag-uwi ninyo sa Pinas, walang kaso kahit months before intended flight to Au kayo mag-PDOS at CFO.

    Pero kung valid pa rin yung Employment Pass / LTSVP ninyo when you fly back to Sg (before going to Au), hindi kayo required na kumuha ng CFO sticker. Sa Pinas airport kase ang ipapakita ninyo at departure (I assume) is your OEC (then they will just think you're still working in Sg). Pero kung pagbalik ninyo sa Sg cancelled na pala yung mga work / long term visit pass ninyo (like in my case) then you definitely need to attend the PDOS and get the sticker. HTH!

    Question lang po..sa Grant Letter may nakasulat about PDOS/CFO...

    As I understand, requirement lang ito ng PH Immigration before i-allow ang PR lumabas ng Pinas papuntang Oz..

    Kapag nag Initial Entry po ba ako and walang PDOS, then nanggaling ako abroad and not from Pinas.. Hindi po ba tinatanong ng AU Immigration kung bakit hindi ako nag-PDOS sa pinas and wala CFO yung passport?

    Intindi ko kasi sa Pinas lang nmn required yung CFO.. sa Oz nmn hindi sya hahanapin..

    @VC0817 I received 2 mails, one stating that:

    "This message is to confirm that we have received your request to access the Reservation and Registration Online System for PDOS." (There's a link to confirm the email ad I used for registration)

    The other contains the pdf file with the barcoded information. In addition:

    "Thank you for using the Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) Reservation and Registration (R & R) PDOS on-line system. The registration form you accomplished on-line will only be available in our database for a period of one month (11/8/2015).

    Accomplishing (R & R) PDOS on-line system guarantees reservation to CFO-PDOS attendance. Each PDOS will accommodate 70 attendees per session while each Peer Counseling session will take in 25 youth emigrants. The (R & R) PDOS on-line system will automatically close the on-line reservation/registration when all allocated slots for the specific country are taken.

    Only clients who will present a confirmed reservation slot and who have accomplished the on-line registration form, with the corresponding barcode reference number, will be admitted to the PDOS and/or Peer Counseling Program. This document, together with all the appropriate requirements, should indicate the confirmed date and time of PDOS or Peer Counseling Program as it was completed on the on-line registration."

    Nakapagenter ka na ba ng details online? O kaya check your spam folder.. Baka naligaw lang. Hehe.

    Hi, Paano pala kung may CFO sticker na, pero natagalan sa pag lipat sa Aus, tapos malapit na mag expire ang passport. Kailangan ba mag-attend ng orientation uli at magpalagay ng sticker?

    Hi! Once ka lang aattend ng PDOS, so in case mag-expire yung current passport mo, you'll just have to bring your new and old passport to the airport. :)

    For number 2 from OP. Hindi ba pwede gamitin ung Medicare card as "proof" ng pagiging PR? Samahan narin ng first entry stamp, at grant letter. Maho-hold ka parin ba?
