Hi everyone, I got the visa grant two weeks ago and it says we need to be there before October 6 so I guess dito na ako sa thread na to naman mag lalagi.
Anyway, I have a question about the cfo seminar. I have two kids ages 11 and 5, looks like I don't need to bring them to the seminar right? But I need to register them in the cfo site? Magulo kasi yung flow nung registration, may option to register a family member pero it takes you back to the beginning as if you are registering a completely new individual.
And kudos to pinoyau.info for the recent website updates, very relaxing yung layout

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding the CFO seminar too. My wife will need to update her passport since it is still in her maiden name. In this case, we were planning to just attend the CFO once she gets her updated passport already. However, we are already travelling this August and it seems a bit tight already. Do you think we should just register with the CFO using the old passport? Anyone experienced the same thing here? Thanks!

Actually hndi ako agad nag driving lesson hanggat wla ako sure na work kc tinitipid ko yung pocket money ko hehe. Pro yung mismong lesson ko eh umabot lng ng 7 days. 1 hour everyday ako. Then after 2 weeks pa ko nakapag practical kc ang hirap kumuha ng booking for practical exam. So umabot ng almost 1 month from lesson to licence ko.
