    sa mga nasa OZ na, need ba na licensed ang OS na naka-install sa laptop including all softwares (ex. office, sql, visual studio, etc). may rules ba dito na dapat orig lahat. iccheck pa ba to sa airport? hope to get response. thanks thanks. :) how about yung mga Ebooks din? thanks.
    Yun ang sabi ng CFO nung seminar. So I was forced to buy original MS Office for my laptop to take here.

    Luckily, hindi naman ako napag initan ng immigration. Pero some I know have been halted by immi officers and were required to check their laptops. Normally, pinapa uninstall on the spot ang mga unlicensed software and apps. Pero you never know kasi. You may end up getting prosecuted for your illegal apps.

    Personally, the repercussions are not worth the risk. 4k lang naman yung MS Office ko. Better that than getting caught. :)

    @lester_lugtu hehe thanks naeenlighten ako nang masyado. Naeenjoy ko ang forum na ito and i feel so excited hahahaha. Currently andto kmi sg, working here. So it seems same din lng pla. Pero the difference is masyadong emphasized (sa tingin ko) ang racial discrimnation dto. Though it is really illegal, pero feel mo tinitira mga foreigners dto lalo na pinoys. Cost of living parang same lng, every month ang sahod... But i feel na limited ang sahod kpg pass holder ka versus mga PRs and locals.

    @diyosa0107,

    Ako this is my 1st time to work abroad. E2 kc plan nami ng partner ko. Hopefully makakita na din ng work here, online application lang ako. Come what may kung may maantig sa resume ko. Pero promise, hindi pa man aq ngwowork, pakiramdam ko tlga na perfect place tong city na to kung gusto mo tlga umunlad. Minsan naiisip ko nakakaintimidate mga puti. Pero mas iniisip ko na lang na masyado lang ako nagiisip. Minsan nga mas masungit pa mga intsik eh. Hehehe.

    sir question about the CFO, for my 1 year old son isa sa mga requirement is this:

    duly notarized authorization letter executed by parent/s or guardian/s while in the Philippines.

    Baka naman may sample wordings kaya for this, also our plan is cross country from Bahrain to Australia , the whole family for visa activation purposes then after 2 weeks iuuwi muna ng wife ko yung baby namin then babalik sila after 2 months, some of our friends in this forum na required from CFO sticker kahit na nanggaling na from Aus???

    thanks for all your help.
