    oo @lock_code2004, yan ang sinabi ng babae dun, after June1 pa daw sila tumatanggap ng walang label ang passport. ang d malinaw sa kanila ay pag nagrant yung visa mo before june1 tas walang label ang passport mo, d sila sure kung tatanggapin ba nila yan para sa cfo seminar. kaya iyun, pa visa label nalang ako.

    Guys, tanong po sa mga naka CFO PDOS na, hinanap ba ng mga taga CFO yung visa label nyo? d kasi tinanggap yung amin kasi grant at passport lang yung dala namin, walang visa label, gusto nila may label. nung pumunta kami kanina sabi kasi june 1 pa pwedeng walang label. e kailangan namin yung cfo sticker para magkadiscount sa airfare at magka free baggage allowance.
    Alis na alis ka na talaga @mikai. :D san nyo po balak na mag pabook ng flight? Ako baka July pa ang alis ko then next month ako magpa book ng flight.

    question po, di po ba 10k usd ang max na dapat dala pag aalis na, magkano po kaya minimum na dadalhin na aud? kasi kahit skilled independent yung na approved na visa sa amin, may relative naman kami na titirhan doon. so parang ang laki ng kelangan namin pala dalhin kung 10k aud, pwede po ba na mga 5k aud lang ang dala for a family of 4? Mag iinspection ba talaga sila pagdating sa Australia airport?

    I think yung 10K USD is yung max na cash na puwede mo dalhin sa airport, beyond that need mo na ideclare. So kung nakaka-withdraw naman kayo sa ibang bansa using your local ATM here eh wag na kayo magdala ng maraming cash.

    I don't think i-inspect pa sa airport yung total money niyo (whether cash or otherwise) since immigrant visa yung hawak niyo. Mas common yata yung pag check ng dalang pera for tourists.

    iwithdraw niyo lahat ng hulog niyo sa SSS, Pag-ibig kung sigurado na kayong hindi na kayo babalik ng Pinas. Kung sa bansa pa rin natin kayo magreretiro mas praktikal pa ring itabi ang pera sa SSS/Pag-ibig kasi pre-taxed money siya at lumalago habang iniiwan mo lang dun :)

    good day everyone! i have questions. sana masagot po nung kung sino man ang may alam ASAP.

    August pa sana ang plano kong initial entry sa Australia, kaso there's an unfortunate turn of events. my father, who is in Perth on a tourist visa, was rushed to the hospital, ipapasok na daw ng ICU.

    balak ko umattend na bukas ng PDOS sa cebu, at lumipad between Wednesday and Friday (June 13 to 15).

    question number 1: posible ba tong plan? i mean, wala bang required number of days na kailangan hintayin from the time matatakan ang passport ko ng CFO?

    pumunta nako sa Bureau of Immi Manila 2 weeks ago para ibigay ang clearance from DOST. since wala pa ako visa that time, wala ako flight details na maibigay nung tinanong nila, so pinabalik ako after 3 days to check kung ok na ang DOST clearance na ni-submit ko. i thought it wasnt necessary to come back dahil feeling ko confirmation lang naman yon, and i had to go back immediately to Mindanao the next day, so di nako bumalik ng intramuros. tinanong ko kung pwede by phone, di daw, personal daw dapat. so dedma.

    question 2: necessary step ba yung pagbalik ko ng BI? meron bang mga fees, travel clearance, etc. na kailangang i-apply pa sa BI? or good to go na yon? kung kelangan talaga baka pwede sa BI Cebu nalang din ako pumunta. ano po experience nung mga nakaalis na for their initial entry? wala bang hihingin sa airport na paper(s) from BI?

    nag-email nako sa IOM, nagtanong kung may mao-offer silang discount. cebu-perth, at nabasa ko sa isang post somewhere here na di yata kasama ang flights to Perth sa mga tinutulungan ng IOM for airfare discounts (tama po ba pagkakaintindi ko?) baka may maitulong din po kayo kung saan cheapest, kasi medyo rush na, i'm sure mahal na ito.

    question 3: tingin nyo po ba may nakalimutan pa ako?

    first time ko to go out of the country. i feel nervous and worried. and this is not how i imagined my first travel would be. ang tatay ko ang pinakamarubdob na nagdasal para ma-grant ang visa ko. at nangulit for two years via annoying weekly calls na asikasuhin ko na ang application ko. i find this situation now to be very odd.

    lastly, pwede rin po bang humingi ng dasal sa inyo para sa tatay ko? maraming salamat po. God bless us all.

    @bajayjay - sorry to hear about this..

    i can answer you question regarding DOST clearance. kung binigay mo na sa BI ang DOST clearance, you dont need to go back.. just make sure na meron kang copy nung clearance at tinatakan nila na nareceive ng BI. Incase na tanunging ka sa airport you can show that..
    In my case, hindi din ako bumalik sa BI, at wala nmn naging problem sa airport..

    question lang bakt pa nila kailangan malamang ang flight details.. your clearance is the final clearance from DOST.. that means kahit kelan ka umalis pwede na..

    God bless you, your father and your family.. best of luck..

    Reply to @lock_code2004: salamat sa reply. sige i'll make sure na dala ko ang clearance na may "received" stamp ng BI. basta tinanong nung nasa window 7(?), yung nagre-receive ng clearance. tapos may nakapaskil din na ganun sa window, isulat daw ang date of departure, kung nakabook na. i didn't think it was necessary though. naisip ko lang ngayon na siguro relevant lang yung date of departure kung aalis ang nagsubmit ng clearance within 48 hours. pero baka mali rin ako sa haka-hakang ito. anyway, salamat ulit @lock_code2004. God bless din.
