Important Information for nationals from the Philippines
There are guidelines on departure formalities for all international bound Philippine
nationals. Further information regarding this process is available at our website at
www.philippines.embassy.gov.au/mnla/Exit_Permits_Philippine_Nationals.html
What if we are currently based on a different country with Residence permit, would this also apply? Or we can perform cross-country?
