question lang po....i'm from SG kasi at mukang dito kami manggagaling pag mag initial entry na kami to oz. so kunwari ganito...mag-initial entry na kami to oz di ba...since di naman kami galing ng pinas...no need for CFO sticker. then from oz...magbabakasyon kami sa pinas. pag babalik na ulit kami ng oz, hahanapan pa ba kami ng CFO sticker kahit hindi naman na initial entry ang gagawin namin?

Reply to @icebreaker1928: Mag-iinquire kami tomorrow sa ANZ Makati para mag-open ng account. Tas free of charge pag nag-withdraw ka anywhere of their branches. Pero magdadala pa din kami ng Australian dollars as pocket money. I'll keep you posted kapag nakausap ko na ANZ.

@JClem, kailangan ba may Aussie bank talaga? Parang naalala ko sa isa pang thread dito sabi ni Sir Totoy puwede na rin yung local banks natin lalo na kung BPI, BDO
JClemMelbourne Posts: 528Member Joined: Jan 08, 2011
Thank you @stolich18 and @icebreaker1928 for that information. Unfortunately, di ako nakapag-inquire today. But I'll check those links @icebreaker1928. By the way, girl po ako.
@LokiJr, preferred sana namin Australian bank na parang walang charges pag nag-withdraw. Pwede actually BPI, BDO and even Metrobank to withdraw internationally or any local ATMs na may Cirrus ba yun. Kaya lang mga 100-200 pesos per withdrawal transaction ang charge.

Reply to @Shrewd: I replied to you in the other thread.. but anyway here it is again
- for immigrants lang po ang CFO stamp.. CFO- Commission for Filipino Overseas..
Eto nakalagay sa website nila: Pre-departure registration is a process which generates an information resource on Filipino emigrants, which in turn, provides accurate reference for policy formulation and program development. It is a requirement to all Filipino emigrants or those leaving the country to settle permanently abroad.

Hi guys just want to ask about the cfo thing. I am living in Singapore 4 yrs now and I emailed the cfo office in Pinas. Ang weird ng sagot ng rep dun sabe ko pwede bang sa sg embassy nalang ako kumuha ng pinas since I find it a hassle to book a plane going to pinas just to get a cfo. Tas sabe ng guy rep its a requirement then I asked what if I dont get a cfo? He said I will be offloaded at naia. E sabe ko nga im in Singapore eh why would I be offloaded I am not flying from Pinas and labo lang kakainis.
I find it also weird and inconvenient what if Im living in north pole and I became a migrant of ther country? I still need to back to pinas just for the cfo? Ridiculous!!!!! %&^*(*%#
