    Hi all,
    Congrats sa mga na-grant and gooduck sa mga waiting :)

    Thanks din po sa mga shared tips sa whole process ng DIY visa. :)
    Granted na po kami sa 189 Visa (me and my husband) last 12 April.

    We are planning to stay in Europe for a maximum of 2 years. Lipad po kami this end of May to Europe. For the 1st entry sa Aus, kelangan namin pumasok within a year. Magvisit po kami sa Aus this May (1 week lang). Medyo hindi lang po kami sure sa mga ito:

    1. May kelangan pa po ba kami dalin sa airport aside sa letter from Immi? Or may kelangan po ba kmai gawin dun sa Immiaccount?
    2. May kelangan po ba kami na inotify regarding sa pagmove namin to Europe for 2 years? Like change of address and work situations?

    Salamat po! :)

    Hello @reinrein2022 . Share ko lang po yung naging experience ko last month. April 10 flight ko papuntang Sydney ito hiningi sakin sa airport ng IO.

    • Valid passport (at least 6 mos validity)
    • IMMI grant letter
    • PDOS sticker (naka-stamp na sa passport by CFO officer)
    • PH departure card
    • Plane ticket and boarding pass

    Additional document na pinakita ko:

    • VEVO visa check details (printed copy)

    Hahanapin po talaga yang PDOS sticker. Mabilis lang naman po ako sa IO mga 1 min lang. 189 din visa ko.

    Sharing our CFO PDOS timeline para may idea kayo (OFCORS - Online).

    https://cfo.gov.ph/
    Use googlemail account. Delay kasi kapag yahoomail ang gamit.

    March 21: Registration (Abang na dapat ng 6:59 AM, usually ubos na slot ng 7:15 AM, Mon to Thursday lang ang registration)
    March 29: Online Seminar (every Wednesday schedule ng AU/NZ visa holders)
    April 3: Received Temporary Certificate (Follow-up lang sa CFO officer kapag hindi nakareceive ng email)

    Documentary stamp P30
    Courier fee P100+
    (kung same address pwede kopyahin yung registration number ng kasama para isang bayad na lang ng courier fee)

    Actual sticker delivery ay may huge backlog parang 9 months yata bago maideliver sa address, pero yung temporary certificate na makukuha thru email ay pwede na maipakita sa Immigration officer pag naghanap sila ng Pdos. :smile:

    Hi @IamTim , thanks for sharing your experience, I managed to register pa lang pero hindi nagproceed sa pagpili ng schedule ng seminar. I received an email pa lang with my assigned officer then need magsend ng requirements. Sabi din sa email “CFO Officers will go over your documents which can take a few days to process. We will update your verification status thru another e-mail”. Ganun rin ba experience mo?

    Mali pala intindi ko, slot for registration pala yung mabilis maubos.

    Sa mga nagpa-sched ng PDOS online, gano katagal bago magreply CFO officer? Sila na ba magbibigay ng date kelan yung seminar?

    Try joining pinoy fb groups na based sa area na yan. Dun ka makakakuha ng leads kung saan makakapagstay. Sa work naman use the common websites like indeed, seek etc and set that location as your area

    Hi all,
    Congrats sa mga na-grant and gooduck sa mga waiting :)

    Thanks din po sa mga shared tips sa whole process ng DIY visa. :)
    Granted na po kami sa 189 Visa (me and my husband) last 12 April.

    We are planning to stay in Europe for a maximum of 2 years. Lipad po kami this end of May to Europe. For the 1st entry sa Aus, kelangan namin pumasok within a year. Magvisit po kami sa Aus this May (1 week lang). Medyo hindi lang po kami sure sa mga ito:

    1. May kelangan pa po ba kami dalin sa airport aside sa letter from Immi? Or may kelangan po ba kmai gawin dun sa Immiaccount?
    2. May kelangan po ba kami na inotify regarding sa pagmove namin to Europe for 2 years? Like change of address and work situations?

    Salamat po! :)

    Hello @reinrein2022 . Share ko lang po yung naging experience ko last month. April 10 flight ko papuntang Sydney ito hiningi sakin sa airport ng IO.

    • Valid passport (at least 6 mos validity)
    • IMMI grant letter
    • PDOS sticker (naka-stamp na sa passport by CFO officer)
    • PH departure card
    • Plane ticket and boarding pass

    Additional document na pinakita ko:

    • VEVO visa check details (printed copy)

    Hahanapin po talaga yang PDOS sticker. Mabilis lang naman po ako sa IO mga 1 min lang. 189 din visa ko.

    Hello po, sa mga nag big move po recently under 189 visa, hinanapan po ba kayo ng travel insurance sa immigration dito po Ph? Thanks po.

    Flight ko po last > @reinrein2022 said:

    Hi all,
    Congrats sa mga na-grant and gooduck sa mga waiting :)

    Thanks din po sa mga shared tips sa whole process ng DIY visa. :)
    Granted na po kami sa 189 Visa (me and my husband) last 12 April.

    We are planning to stay in Europe for a maximum of 2 years. Lipad po kami this end of May to Europe. For the 1st entry sa Aus, kelangan namin pumasok within a year. Magvisit po kami sa Aus this May (1 week lang). Medyo hindi lang po kami sure sa mga ito:

    1. May kelangan pa po ba kami dalin sa airport aside sa letter from Immi? Or may kelangan po ba kmai gawin dun sa Immiaccount?
    2. May kelangan po ba kami na inotify regarding sa pagmove namin to Europe for 2 years? Like change of address and work situations?

    Salamat po! :)

    Hello @reinrein2022 . Share ko lang po yung naging experience ko last month. April 10 flight ko papuntang Sydney ito hiningi sakin sa airport ng IO.

    • Valid passport (at least 6 mos validity)
    • IMMI grant letter
    • PDOS sticker (naka-stamp na sa passport by CFO officer)
    • PH departure card
    • Plane ticket and boarding pass

    Additional document na pinakita ko:

    • VEVO visa check details (printed copy)

    Hahanapin po talaga yang PDOS sticker. Mabilis lang naman po ako sa IO mga 1 min lang. 189 din visa ko.

    Thank you po. Ma-avail po kaya namin yung medicare benefits once maprocess namin ito after our BM?

    Medicare process about 5weeks samin. And yes, covered yan kasi 189 kayu. I suggest BM na kayu.
