Base sa mga nabasa ko dito sa forum, may mga naglagay ng middle name ( under sa given name field) at meron din naman na hindi.
Both approach worked with no issues - basta lang be consistent all throughout the application and forms submitted.
Ako naglagay ako para lang sumakto sa statement na “as it appears in your passport” - pero sabi nga ng iba dito na may mga visa grant na din na di naglagay ng middle name e ayos lang din kahit wala. So it is up to you kung san ka mas kampante

Pagkakaalam ko yung work history in the past 10 years, sa EOI and assessment lang yon. Sa Form 80, AFAIK all employments/ non-employments since birth.
I'd usually say just be honest and declare it. But...kung ako yan, I'd just say unemployed/supported by family during that period. It's very normal for fresh grads to take a break after studying.

In our EOI, ACS assessment and PTE, we did not include middle name.
Am still filling out the visa application form, form 80 and form 1221. Di ko pa rin alam kung isasama ko middle name.
Tapos sa form 1221 question 14, nakalagay "name shown in document". Isama ba middle name or not?
Additional info: when i applied for temporary visa last 2010 para sa business trip, wala rin naman ako middle name kahit sa grant. Pero syempre iba nga naman yung PR visa hehe. Baka lang may ibang rules.
Thank you po!

Nagrrquest kasi CO ng form 80 and PC from malaysia. Kaso to get PC from malaysia you need 1 yr stay sa malaysia. Now, confused ako kung ilalagay ko yung malaysia sa Q17.
Thank you

Worry ko kasi baka umabot ng 1 month bago marelease yung Malaysia PC and nakalagay naman dun sa CO checklist na "Provide Malaysia Police Check If you have lived in Malaysia for 12 months or more in last 10 years"
If magsubmit kami ng form 80 and we will include Malaysia as residence, makikita naman nila na less than 12 months of stay.. Do we still need to provide the Malaysia police clearance.
