    marami daw kasing na offload kapag walang cfo certificate kahit daw tourist lang at makikipag meet sa foreign boyfriend sa ibang country eh kailangan daw yon... implemented daw around september 2012. madami tuloy na coconfused ,madaming mga forums about offloading nabasa ko daming reklamo.. kahit di ka pa mag migrate sa oz for example and magkita lang ng bf na australian lets say sa hong kong hahanapin pa rin daw cfo cert kahit tourist.

    As far as I know, CFO is not a requirement - tourist ka lang naman kasi diba? Doesn't make sense for you to attend such a worthless seminar just because you want to meet up with your bf/gf in a foreign land...

    If you want to double check, you can always call their office. :)

    interesting. does not make sense at all for a tourist visa to get CFO if meeting foreign partner but then I found this memorandum on the Bureau of Immigration:

    http://immigration.gov.ph/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1252&Itemid=103

    Go to guidelines tab and under Tourist traveller (Secondary inspection) paragraph 2.3d

    " Partners and spouses of foreign nationals intending to depart to meet and/or marry his/her fiancé without the CFO Guidance and Counseling Certificate;"

    I think ang concern ng government eh ang dumadating cases ng bf/gf tourist visa tapos tuloy kasal na.. and then pag nagka-problema eh hindi sila ma-trace ng CFO.. or pag hingi ng tulong sa CFO eh wala sa list ng eligeble for whatever benefits...

    so ang initiative nila eh magbigay ng CFO guidance and Counseling...
    para alam mo ang rights mo.. at alam mo kung anu ang gagawin pag may issues..

    so kung ayaw ng hassle.. wag mo na sabihin na mkkpagkita ka sa bf/gf..
    but then, makikita nila sympre sa visa mo sino ang nag-sponsor ...

    related to this, marami din kasi ang umaalis, tourist visa papuntang Dubai for example,
    tapos maghahanap ng work eh hindi na babalik.. ang daming mga pinoy na nag-expired ang visa at kailangan ngaun ng tulong dun.. eh undocumented pala..

    to avoid the hassle, follow the advise of @lock_code2004 above...

    or if magka leche leche talaga, fight for your right... walang ganito na batas as far as we know!! :)

    and if you really want to confirm - i will repeat what i posted above to check sa CFO mismo.

    cheers!!

    If say your jsut going to singapore to meet your prospective bf will anyone at NAIA ask you that personal question? I dont think you need that CFO bullshit certificate if you only hold a tourist visa. But, I wouldnt be surprise if people from CFO start doing this they would do anything to get money from everyone.
