June 3, 2017 umalis po kami ng pinas pa SG. Employer po ang sumagot ng "tour" namin para hndi makwestyon sa immigration. ang tour na kinuha namin ay 5 days, pero 3 days lang kami nasa SG and fly na to Au. Walang tinanong sa Immigration bukod sa work ng asawa ko.
June 5 - flight to AU, walang tanong sa immigration! dire diretso lang!
June 6 - arrived in Australia.
Nasa Swan Hill, Victoria po kami ngayon ng family ko. PM lang po kayo kung may questions kayo. God bless us all!

Hello, alam ko medyo matagal na tong post mo pero tanong ko lang, bakit may paki alam yung employer mo sa AU with regard sa pag secure mo ng OEC? Usuall di naman nila to alam at wala silang say dito since this is a PH rule only and walang kinalaman ang immigration ng AU dito.
I find it strange na "di pumayag" na manggaling ka sa SG? Why?

Hi barryco,
Gusto lang po kasi ng employer ko nun na dumaan ako sa tamang process para anytime na gusto ko daw magbakasyon hindi na ako mahirapan lumabas ulit ng Pinas.

@barryco not sure sa case ng working visas pero sa PR visa grant notice kasi may nakalagay doon about securing PDOS from CFO. maybe aware din ang AU immigration sa rules ng DOLE/POEA for OFWs at kung nakalagay yun sa visa grant malalaman din ng employer na need ito ng employee nila.

Wait, you mean kahit PR ka na, hahanapan ka pa rin po ba ng OEC ng PH immigration everytime na lalabas ka ng Pinas? grabe naman.

@barryco hindi OEC hahanapin sa iyo but CFO sticker indicating you undergone PDOS. refer to this website https://cfo.gov.ph
PRs are exempted from paying travel tax when you have this plus proof of PRship like visa grant or VEVO printout (AU PRs)

Nung experience namin, we did inform my partner's employer that we will pass thru SG. Sa SG nag tour kami ng 6 days. Ok lang naman sya sa employer ng partner ko, actually dito lang sa PH sya required to protect us from illegal recruiters etc. Andito na kme sa AU and dito na namin plan ayusing yung mga POLO requirements. Nagstart nadin magwork ung partner ko.
