PDOS and CFO (for onshore applicant)

emman09

Hello ask ko lng po as we have been living here in AU for almost 3 years and got our Permanent residency recently. Uwi po kame next month para sunduin anak nmen. Need pa po ba nmen mag attend ng PDOS and have the CFO?

Hope someone can shed some lights.

Thank you

fgs

immigration will look for the CFO sticker..may mga cases dito sa forum na di na sila pinaattend don sa seminar dahil nga matagal na sila sa AU...nagbayad na lang sila for the sticker...in short, kailangan mo allot ng sked papunta sa CFO office

Hi, We are a filipino family of 5 from Riyadh, KSA; and we have received our Permanent (SI 189) visa last Aug 30, also from Riyadh... we plan to travel on Dec 1st direct from Riyadh to Sydney. I'm writing to seek your advice in regards to the pre-departure seminar.. Is it mandatory? What options do we have if we intend to travel direct from Riyadh to Sydney??

PDOS/CFO is Philippine immigration requirement. Since lilipad kayo direct from riyadh, no need to undergo ng seminar. Later pag umuwi kayo ng pinas( still on PR visa not Australian citizen), you need to attend kasi di kayo papabalikin unless may CFO sticker passport nyo

@emman09 Hi, just register online for PDOS. Just let them know that you've been living in Au for 3yrs now. Yung sa amin, maaga kaming nagpunta then it took about 15 to 20 minutes for the whole process. Exempted na tayo sa seminar.
