    @Sta11 hello, ako 190 ako. I can say na same lang naman ang processing ng 189 at 190.

    Fortunately nabigyan ako ng DG after 26 days. Note that the situation of others may not be applicable to yours. Kahit na mag frontload ka, it really depends sa CO na mapupuntahan ng application mo.. :) Yung iba DG na after 5 to 10 days.. :)

    @jillpot hello po, pwede po maki sabay ng pag process kumuha ng UAE PCC from SG? Si misis kelangan din kasi kumuha.

    Congrats sa ITA!

    Kelan nyo balak mag-process ng UAE PCC? Though nasa business trip pa si hubby, baka pagbalik pa nya maasikaso.

    Basta ang alam ko na process is 1)Fingerprinting sa CID 2) MFA to legalise fingeprints 3) Pay fees in UAE Embassy

    Paconfirm na lang sa nakapag-process na ng UAE PCC here in SG. Thank you.
    Maybe I can help on this. Eto po ang process sa pagkuha ng UAE pcc from Singapore:

    1. You can apply first online (www.dubaipolice.gov.ae) Meron naman dun selection for outside UAE. Then need mo i-attach ang passport, uae visa na nakastamp sa passport then payment via creditcard. I think 300dirhams siya (kasama na dito yun postage fees pag binalik nila ang documents.)

    *hindi nila ito iprocess until mareceive nila ang fingerprints documents na ikaw mismo ang magpapadala sa kanila (hindi ang uae embassy)

    2. For the fingerprinsts, pwede ka kumuha sa CID then send to MFA for legalisation (10sgd ata ang payment) then send to UAE Embassy para attestation (105sgd naman ata to)

    3. Then padala mo yun documents sa dubaipolice via post (pero hindi ko to nirerecommend kasi nawala nila yun documents ko and walang umamin na nareceived yun documents ko kahit pa may proof ako). Kung may friend kayo na nagwowork dun, sa kanya nyo nalang ipadala then gawa kayo authorization then ask him/her na dalhin sa police station.

    *Kung meron kayong emirates card, no need na for finger printing kasi may record na kayo ng fingerprints, i-keyin lang online yun card number.

    @jigs88 merong e-medical sa pinas. Sa Baguio, Cebu, Manila, Davao

    Source: https://www.border.gov.au/Lega/Lega/Help/Location/philippines

    Pwede mo namang gawin yang sinasabi mo na hihintayin mo ma-contact ka ng CO bago magpa medical dependents mo.

    Ang point ko lang dun sa sagot ko dun sa 2nd paragraph is, if gusto mong mapabilis yung visa grant mo, magpa medical na muna kayong lahat at hintayin ma-clear ang lahat. If mauuna ka magpa medical tapos saka mo pa sila isusunod, matatagalan din dahil hihintayin mo pa contact ng CO.

    Ito yung info na kelangan mo for medical:

    Im closely tailing your conversation about sa PCC UAE in SG. katatawag ko lang sa UAE embassy in SG na kailangan munang mag-email sa [email protected] attention to Officer Scanif para magpasched ng appointment sa kanila then indicate kung urgent. Im not really sure kung ano ang procedure since di pa naman ako naka-receive ng ITA ngayon, so di ko na muna inusisa ung whole process. God bless sa applications niyo.
    Share ko lang, yung hubby ko nagpakuha lang UAE PCC sa friend nya na nasa UAE pa. Nagbigay lang sya ng authorization letter and copy of his passport page na may UAE visa. After 1 week from request, nakuha na.

    @jigs88 Taga san po ba kayo? Need nyo talaga puntahan ang isa sa apat na centers na yan. Yang apat lang na yan ang accredited ng DIBP sa Pinas. Wala pa akong nababasa or kilala na nakapag pa-medical ng walang HAP ID.

    Sa pagkakaintindi ko, gagamitin mo lang yung my health declaration kung gusto mo muna i-clear ang medical mo bago ka mag lodge. So dapat buong pamilya kayo sabay sabay.

    If hihintayin mo rin na mag CO contact muna bago magpa-medical yung dependents mo, mabuti pang sabay sabay na lang kayo para yung CO na mismo mag bibigay ng HAP ID nyo.

    Ito yung alam kong proseso.. if mali ako, sana may mag point out..

    @MayoMay opo parang ganito, ung sa akin BDO CC, nagrequest ako for credit limit increse last june, naanticipate ko kasi visa payment pero bngay lang nila nasa short parin for 200k + one time payment (family of 3). So i nabasa ko dito mag over payment.. So kahit wala akong utang or purchases ngbayad ako ng 90k+ and nag reflect next day Active credit limit ko is 250k+ then i called bdo call center , ok lang naman daw..

    HSBC naman yung kay partner. lagi naman nya nagagamit. pero wala naman utang sa ngayon. ask ko sya if pwede nya ipataas.. at least for now. tapos ibalik sa dating max limit if tapos na sa visa lodging. so gwin namin if may limit na sya na 100K. lagyan namin laman na mga 120K para pag ginamit sya di ganun kalaki utang. kasi technically bayad na ung 120K in advance. cge po patry ko sa knya yan., hahahaha

    @MayoMay opo parang ganito, ung sa akin BDO CC, nagrequest ako for credit limit increse last june, naanticipate ko kasi visa payment pero bngay lang nila nasa short parin for 200k + one time payment (family of 3). So i nabasa ko dito mag over payment.. So kahit wala akong utang or purchases ngbayad ako ng 90k+ and nag reflect next day Active credit limit ko is 250k+ then i called bdo call center , ok lang naman daw..

    HSBC naman yung kay partner. lagi naman nya nagagamit. pero wala naman utang sa ngayon. ask ko sya if pwede nya ipataas.. at least for now. tapos ibalik sa dating max limit if tapos na sa visa lodging. so gwin namin if may limit na sya na 100K. lagyan namin laman na mga 120K para pag ginamit sya di ganun kalaki utang. kasi technically bayad na ung 120K in advance. cge po patry ko sa knya yan., hahahaha

    Hi, if meron kayo 100k na limit then mag advance payment kayo ng 120k magkakaron kayo ng total na 220k available limit to use. Then if gagamitin ninyo pambayad na total amount of 100k or 120k then oo technically wala kayong utang kasi nag advance payment kayo ng 120k pero if gagamitin ninyo ng buo yung 220k then meron magiging utang na 100k.
