Senxa na question ulit if may idea kayo about PDOS.
If from SG nag-initial entry ka na to AU then balik ulit SG (Pass holder). Tapos from SG uwi ng Pinas then to AU for good na, need pa rin ba ng PDOS?
Haharangin kp rin ba sa Pinas Immigration going to AU kung wla kang CFO sticker sa passport khit na nag-initial entry na before sa AU from SG? Wala namn atang "green card" na ini-issue AU noh pra I-present sa Pinas IO?
Salamat uli in advance!
