You’ll need to let the invite go. The regulations state that the skills assessment outcome must be valid at time of invite. Validate your documents then lodge another EOI, that’s the best way to do it. All the best.

Hi I would like to ask po regarding sa ACS skills assessment requirements for payment evidence, since atleast 2 payment evidence po ang need, ang problem ko po kasi dun sa payslip ko from my previous employers, hindi na po sila makapagprovide sakin ng payslip wherein yung payslip lang na nakuha ko is wala name ni emplyoyer and also dun sa bank statement po for may payroll wala dn po yung name ni employer, can I just get it certified instead na lang or others like SSS/pagibig contribution can also accepted as payment evidence na indicated name ni employer as contributor? TIA

It means po, kahit mag retake po ng PTE nas mag renew ng EA, hindi na rin po pwede magamit sa attachment sa pag lodge?
Let go the invitation - it means wait na lang po ulit kung ma iinvite under new EOI. So posible pong mawalan na ulit pala ng chance ma invite po ulit?

No other choice I’m afraid…either you go ahead and throw the visa application fee down the drain or do things right your end and gamble your opportunity again. It’s a painful learning but much painful if your visa is refused.
The importance of updating the EOI is explained on the government website as well as the eligibility requirement for the visa application. These things have been made known by the Deartment and nit something kept from candidates.

Hi! I am applying the visa 482 on my own. Already done with my medical as requested by the s56.
I was just wondering, if anyone needed to attach anything regarding health insurance? Or do I leave it blank?

Hello. Pwede bang mag process ng NBI clearance ahead of time before pa mag invite ng visa lodging application? Uuwi kasi ako sa December pero wala pang visa lodging invite at the moment. Bale i-ready ko lang just in case mainvite soon and hindi na need umuwi sa Pinas ulit.

Pwede naman po ako mag process ng NBI clearance habang nasa Pinas ako no? Hindi naman necessarily na via PH embassy lang dito sa Singapore?

may nakapag try na po ba dito kumuha ng NBI clearance even before pa dumating yung DHA lodging invite? kasi uuwi ako sa pinas soon, dun ko na sana kunin mismo sa head office. di ko lang sure if may policy ba na dapat yung police clearance's issued date is AFTER invitation date.

Thank you so much po another question sana sa form 80:
"Are you applying for a temporary Visa? " No - po ba ang sagot kahit 491 yung inaaplayan since may plan mag apply ng pr after 3 years?
Based kasi sa website 491 is a Temporary Visa kaya medyo confused kami dito.
Salamat po sa sasagot

Hi everyone! My friend got AQF Associate Degree based on ACS assessment, upon creating EOI wala siya sa available option to select sa qualifications.
What's the correct qualification should be selected? Is it correct that it is equivalent to Advanced Diploma as they are of same level on AQF framework?

Hello po, if ever po mainvite. Okay lang po ba na yung experience lang po pinaassess yung ipapasa sa work experience? Bale yung first work experience lang po napaassess ko sa vetassess 1 yr and 9 months (bawas na po yung 1 yr deduction ni vetassess)? And yung second work ko po not highly relevant sa occupation based on ANZSCO, yung current work ko po is relevant po sya kaso hindi po ako makakakuha ng detailed statement of service and ayoko lang din mo malaman ng company ko. Thank you! First work experience ko po was April 2019-December 2021 pa po.
