Konti lang actually:
Tsaka gumawa kami ng list ng travel history from 18 years old para madali nang kopyahin when filling out the form. Hassle din kseng mag-trace ng departure and arrival stamps sa passports.

Iniisip ko din kung hinihintay nila na mag-upload ako ng Thai PCC, since I stayed and worked in Thailand after I got my PR....
Although, technically, parang less than 12months naman yung stay ko sa Thailand (11mos siguro ako andun)..
I was planning naman to submit a Thai PCC kaso ang hirap mag-apply kapag overseas ka.. tapos may Covid pa

Thanks @Captain_A ...
@wizardofOz hmm, yung sa kakilala ko on the day ng exam/interview sinabihan siya to provide yong kulang niyang requirements, kapag feel nila na for example yan nga wala kang Thai PCC, dun ka na nila sasabihan. So don't worry about it too much, or kung meron ka na rin mas ok na i-update mo na kung pwede mag update. anyway, goodluck. Im sure malapit na yan.

Hiningan nila ako pero 7 months lang ako sa Pinas in total.
Depende sa mood yata case officer.
Bad trip pa naman kumuha ng NBI. Basta wala ka hit ay okay lang yan kaso kaibigan ko 4 months bago nakuha ang clearance. Nagpadulas pa bago makuha.

preparing na kami for citizenship application. Tanong lang, hindi ba talaga nakaka count yung mga short-holidays/trip lang like 1-20 days outside of Australia? Kasi nung ginamit ko ang residence calculator, pwede na daw kaming mag apply sa araw mismo ng 189 grant namin. Kahit nilagay ko naman yung holiday namin sa Pinas at another Asian country.
Salamat po sa mga sasagot.

As far as I know... if hindi equal to or more than 12 months in cumulative total yung mga overseas trips.. hindi sya makaka-apekto sa eligibility.
I came here Feb 2016 and lodged my Citizenship application Feb2020... in that period dami ko din trips abroad... mga almost 12 months in total..
Although still waiting for update sa application...
