  @prcand ., up to 6 months inaplay ko., meron kasing tab dun na nagsasabing kailangan ko daw mag-undergo., dun sa view health assessment tab., Ano po ba dapat nakalagay kapag hindi na kailangan? Kailangan ba dapt hintayin instruction ng case officer?

  @hopefully noong nagapply ako ng tourist visa for 6 mos nirequire din ako magmedical pero yung basic xray lang but that was 5 years ago. So I guess 6 mos up nirerequire talaga nila magmedical

  @Xiaomau82., nakasaad naman po na kailangan ko daw mag-undergo., puro "no" din naman po sagot ko sa health declaration., Kailangan ba dapat hintayin muna direction ng case officer? Hanggang ngayon received palang naman po ang status ng application ko.

  aww isa ka sa mga masweswerte hehe

  @hopefully un nga.. akala ko di na need ung sa bank statement ko.. di ko napansin.. kht nabasa ko s forum n anilagy nila.. di ko kasi alam kung san category ilalagay.. kya iniskip ko.. try try lng kasi.. not really eager to go to australia.. ksi papunta rin aq ng saudi arabia at that time.. kaso ayun bonus nmin ng july s SG kaya nagkalakas aq ng loob mg apply.. sobrang nakakaamaze kasi sobrang bilis ng response. In short, delayed ung sa mga copy ng salary ko, di ko sure kung tinawagan ako or thru email ang ngyri, bsta ganon. Tapos nung pinasa ko na, dirediretso na. Walang medical s kin before..

  @rose08 may dalawang klaseng cards lang in general, credit or debit. Credit card ay ung nag purchase ka ng something, tapos babayaran mo siya layer on. In other words, unsecured loan. Debit card on the other hand is the one that has existing money inside it. Usually associated with ATM card, pero Ibang companies call it using other names (mostly for marketing purposes, to distinguish them from other competitor). Examples of alternative name Ng debit card ay (cash card, "pre-paid" credit card)
