Requirements in flying to Australia

vernel · July 2014

Hi people, I’m newbie here. im planning to make my initial entry this November sa Sydney. As I learned, need to be registered to CFO in the Phils as well as attend PDOS to get an exit clearance. im currently working here in Dubai, will take my vacation in PH this November and will make my first step in OZ (coming from Phils). Do I still need to attend PDOS and register with CFO even if I can show to PH immigration that i’ll only be in OZ for 5 days and will return back. im worried of being stopped in airport for having no exit clearance. sayang ang oras at ticket. i can present them though my employment visa in Dubai as well as my return plane tickets if they require. Help me pls… Thanks!

The thing is, your visa in Australia is an immigrant visa; despite the fact that you have your employment visa in Dubai, pwede pa rin na hingin ng immigration officer in Pinas the CFO sticker eh... When that happens either maglagay ka ng pampadulas or you will not be able to leave the Philippines...

Up to you; then again maybe you can always reason out that you are still coming back as evidenced by your return ticket...

The CFO is a stupid seminar but sadly wala tayo magagawa diyan as it is a stupid requirement of our stupid country...
