Hello mga kabayan!
Maraming salamat po sa lahat ng mga tumulong sa akin dito. Glory be to God. Granted na po ang visa ko.
Uuwi po ako ng Pinas, kailangan ko po ba ng OEC?
Nabasa ko po sa ibang group na hindi na raw po dahil hindi naman daw po considered na OFW ang Visa 491, gusto ko lang po sana iconfirm.
Nagmessage na rin po ako sa Bureau of Immigration, nagsend lang po sila ng link. Pero ang sabi nila basta OFW daw po kailangan yun.
491 visa is a provisional residency visa hindi OFW, kung sakali po na harangin ako sa immigration dahil wala akong OEC pwede ko po ba sabihin yan?
Maraming maraming salamat po!
Sa mga nag DIY po at napadaan kayo sa profile ko, message nyo lang po ako. Happy to help po. Maraming salamat mga kabayan!

Hello mga kabayan. Umuwi ako ng Pinas last March 2022 under 491 visa, hindi naman ako hinanapan ng OEC. Let them know that you're a temporary resident. Cheers!

Visa copy, passport, ticket and yung vaccine card. Pero mukhang hindi na kailangan ng vaccine card ngayon.
Wala naman tinanong sakin. Hehe.
