download nyo lang ung PDF (1.9mb, 128 pages). "Beginning Your Life in Australia" yung title.
Sa pinas, need mo lang attend ng PDOS tapos bibigyan ka nila ng CFO sticker worth 400 pesos. Hahanapin yan ng immig officer pag aalis ka na ng bansa.
Pag dating mo ng AU airport, nasa system na nila agad yung passport details mo. If nag change ka ng passport number, upload ka ng form 929 sa immiaccount at dalhin mo rin yung lumang passport mo for verification.
So far wala nmn akong nabasa na kahit ano pang kelangan during your entry to AU.
