OEC and CFO on Visa 186

Upon granting of the Visa 186 application, is the OEC from POEA and/or the Emigrant registration sticker issued by the Commission on Filipinos Overseas still required before leaving the Philippines?

    Ang pakakaalam ko po ay CFO registration lang ang need mo since Visa 186 ay permanent residency naman. yung OEC from POEA ay para sa mga Temporary visa holders. Pede nyo din po i-confirm yan mismo sa CFO site.

    TIMELINE
    2022.December
    - Explored visa options (186, 189, 190, 482, 491, 494)
    - Documents preparations and lots of reading re: Au migration
    2023.January
    - Passport renewal
    - Personal / family documents (PSA, TOR, PRC license, etc.)
    - Request for Visa sponsorship (Current employer - Melbourne based company)
    2023.February
    - VETASSESS requirements (ANZSCO 312211)
    - Visa sponsorship granted by Employer (Yey!)
    - PTE preparations / self-review (purchased 1month access APEUni)

    (At this point, we are looking at SC482 since my employer is already an accredited sponsor but
    after checking with their agent, accredited sponsor status is already expired.)
