as much as possible, isama mo lahat ng employer mo na you think fits the skilled occupation that you will be assessing for kasi nakakadagdag yun sa points. Usually kasi nagbabawas pa si Vetassess ng 1 year sa experience mo.
Sa COE ko naman, ang ipinasa ko ay hindi yung usual format. Nilagay ko lahat ng ni-rerequire ni Vetassess dahil kailangan nila lahat ng info na yung to assess your skill.
Sa past employers mo, pwede mo naman sabihin yung totoong reason mo na for migration purposes gagamitin kaya kelangan mo yung specific na format. Ang mahirap talaga palagi is yung sa current employer dahil most of us, ayaw natin ipaalam yung purpose dahil baka maka-apekto sa current job natin. So in my case, ang dahilan na ginawa ko dati sa HR namin is kailangan ko siya dahil ni-rerequire ng bank for my loan sa Pinas yung ganyan na format and infos. Ayun, naniwala naman sila kaya ginawa nila yung pinapagawa ko. Pero make yung lang na hindi naka-address sa bank yung COE mo. Pwedeng "To whom it may concern" lang.

Hello, good morning
Ask ko lang po how do you request COC? Upon trying to submit an Appeal po kasi may requirement dun na “Letter from Overseas Authority”, kaso wala naman po sinesend si AU Home Affairs ng requesy letter for COC.
Then may field rin po na “Departure Date” anong date po nilalagay nyo?
Thank you!!

nag email ako sa Iras, binigay ko FIN ko at company name at dates. sinabi ko lang. Can I have a list of all my tax returns and the company who paid from YEAR to YEAR. sapos i saved the mail as PDF, sinama ko kasama ng payslips.
if you have POSB/OCBC/UOB etc, they will tell you sa online system na 7 years lang kept nilang data, pero napakiusapan ko sa chat support at nag bigay ng specific month bank statement na more than 7 years (like 10 years ago) . yung start and end date lang nung nag work ka sa company ang hingin mo para di sila mahirapan maghanap.

Apr 30: VETASSESS – I double-checked my documents for the last time.

Hello! Sa SATA Bedok kami nagpa-medical, family of 4. Eto prices:
So umabot ng 1K SGD total. Doon din mismo ang X-ray so hindi na kelangan pumunta sa ibang hospital. Around 3 hrs natapos na kami and na-upload lahat ng results namin sa immi portal after a week since matagal lumabas ang result ng TB test.

For TB, ung blood test kinuha namin (Quantiferon). Mas pricey sya kesa sa skin test pero ito ang ni-recommend ng doctor kasi one-time visit lang unlike sa skin test na may chances na bumalik kami. Naghanap sila ng nurse na sanay mag-administer sa bata kaya okey naman.
And yes, tumatanggap sila ng credit card.
