Hi, Pinoyau.

Thanks in advance.

I am new on this site. I emailed the CFO office and here is their reply:

"Please be advised that all Filipinos leaving the country as emigrants or spouses and other partners of foreign nationals are required to register with the CFO and attend the Pre-Departure Orientation Seminar (PDOS), the Peer Counseling or the Guidance and Counseling Program (GCP), which ever applies depending on your visa. These seminars normally last for 2-3 hours.

With regards to your inquiry, since you are currently holding a Provisional Visa for Australia which allows you to live in Australia temporarily, you are not considered an emigrant and therefore not required to attend the PDOS or register at CFO.

For further clarification, please call us at telephone numbers (+632) 552
4700 local 713 to 714 and 742 to 745.

Best regards.
