    Question po regarding SG COC... baka meron naka-experience nito dati:

    Kukuha na sana kami (me and my wife) ng COC pero nasa pinas sya ngayon gawa ng kapapanganak lng nya. Since she won't be coming back to SG any sooner, paano kaya sya makapag-apply ng COC while overseas?

    Thanks in advance. ;)

    @jeorems need pa din dumaan ng embassy kasi ung form at authorization letter sa kanila galing ..
    @jeorems
    @czha
    In my case, hindi na dumaan ng embassy. Nag-upload ako ng nbi form from their website. Then sent the filled in form to Sandra's email add. I hope.walang nabago now sa process. You may do step #1 in my list above.
    salamat, wala na ata ung old nbi clearance so no choice but to go sa embassy...salamat po sa mga pag reply...

    @mistakenidentity I think it's good to call Cantonment Police office while andito ka sa SG. Ito po number nila (65) 64358275/7

    Hello everyone. Bago lng po ako sa thread na to. D2 pa kmi sg ngaun and was invited to lodge PR visa subclass 190 sa south australia.

    tanong ko lng po kung pede ba mgopen bank account s Oz hbng and2 pa or fund transfer frm posb? may nabasa ako d2 pede ganun pero not sure procedures. Pls share nmn po.
    Hi, have been reading about this too. These threads might help:
    http://pinoyau.info/discussion/572/sg-savings-to-oz/p1
    http://pinoyau.info/discussion/924/australian-banks-where-do-you-put-your-money/p1

    Basically from what I read so far, yes you can open an au bank account (online) while you are still in Sg, and you can fund transfer from your POSB account to your au bank account.

    So again, if mag initial entry ka, and then next entry mo is under 4 years na lang PR mo (kunyari 3.5 yrs valid na lang), then pag nag expire yung visa, it's either you apply for PR again (which is another gastos) OR hindi ka na muna lalabas ng Australia until mapa-approve mo citizenship and fulfill the 4 years.

    let me just clarify the statement...
    - you dont need to apply for a PR visa again (not the 189/190 = $3000 visa fee)...
    - but you just need to apply for a Resident Return Visa (RRV) .. approx $500 valid up to 5yrs
    not have been absent from Australia for more than one year in the past 4 years, including no more than 90 days in the year before applying.
    Medyo kinabahan ako sa mga nabasa ko about this haha!
    But anyway thank you sa pag-share ninyo at pag-clarify.

    From what I understand, Jellybean wants to apply for citizenship prior to her PR visa expiry. Kaya she is suggesting na wag patagalin ng 1 year ang absence sa AU from your visa approval, kase you're left with 4 yrs na after that. BUT within these 4 years, you can actually leave au naman, max of 1 year. So technically, you only need to be in au for the last 3 yrs if walang uwian.

    But yes, I agree, no harm in getting the RRV para di nakakastress at nakakabilanggo sa au hehe... if you intend to get the RRV then yung 4 years before your citizenship application ang icoconsider nila.

    Example ng pagcalculate ng years:

    January 2015 - target citizenship application
    2014 ---> allowed to leave au max 90 days (approx 3 months)
    2011-2013 ---> allowed to leave au max 9 months total
    OR
    2012-2014 ---> walang uwian
    2011 ---> max 12 months na uwi


    I hope I got it correctly....

    hi guys, need help.

    was trying to set an appoinment sa SATA about medical pero nagtatanong sila kung anong medical examination ang kailangan ko para sa VISA. kasi ung form daw na meron HAP number which is nasend ko na sa kanila eh walang nakalagay kung anong medical examination daw ang kailangan. Bale para sa 4 adults at 3 kids. Wala pa akong case officer pero I am doing it in advance na

    Pano ko ba malalaman kung anong medical examination ang kailangan ko? Di ba dapat alam nila (SATA) kung ano ung mga medical examination na gagawin o kailangan?

    Please share naman ng experience. Nalilito na ako, should I wait na magkaroon ng case officer?

    hi welcome, anu bang plano mong inominate na skill?

    between the two kung galing ka sa contractor i would recommend

    civil engineering draftsperson - technichality wise mas mainam to kapag nagassess ka skills tapos pwede ka for 189

    pero kung nag consultant ka

    arch draftsperson ang bagsakan mo same as mine maghihintay tayo ng state na magspponsor saten..: )

    goodluck papi

    Hi everyone,

    Magtatanong lang po regarding driver's license conversion. Kakakuha lang po last month sa Pinas ng non-prof driver's license. First time license po ito. Pwede pa rin kaya ipa-convert into Sg license? PR po kami and 5 yrs na dito sa Singapore.

    Waiting for God's perfect timing....

    you should be holding your license for more than 2 yrs before you will be allowed for SG DL conversion (which requires passing BTT as well). One of the req't is to show them cert from licensing office (LTO) to prove na matagal na license mo. cheers!

    @thegreatiam15 kelan ka mageexam?

    @G_australia yes, may breast exam. Male doctor yung nag-exam sa akin pero may female nurse present. No issues sa tattoo, pareho kami ni partner na may more than 1 tattoo, pero ganun ata if hindi ka sa medical industry magwowork (not sure, maybe others can confirm). Ang kasama sa medicals ay urine test (check for presence of blood, protein, and isa pa nalimutan ko na), HIV blood test, chest xray, and the physical test. Kinapa-kapa lang yung ankles ko, tiyan ko, tapos hingang malalim habang may steth si doc, ganun lang. Nothing to worry. If you have a pre-existing condition though you have to truthfully declare it.

    @engr_boy oo nga, hindi na sya makatayo halos! Tingin ko pipilitin pa niyang umabot man lang ng 50th year hehe
