I have a question sa regardingsa BM. Once you receive your visa, what steps are there to take? Madami nag sasabi, just buy a ticket and go. Pero what about yung mga PDOS? Are those required sa pag labas sa Philippines? Salamat po sa maka pag guide.

The approved regional areas vary depending on whether you are sponsored by a relative or by a State or Territory Government. Baka yan un visa na nirerefer ng friend mo.

Regarding po sa Police Clearance, I had Certificate of Police Registration way back 2011 in Indonesia, valid for 6 months. But I continued to work in 2012-2015.
Kailangan ko pa po ba request ng Police Clearance for 2012-2015?
Usually, during that time every 3 or 6 months ako uuwi Pinas for Working Visa Renewal.
