Aware ba PH immigration natin what 491 is? May residence card ba yan? Sa case ko kasi pag pabalik ng Ireland, sinasabi ko lang resident ako ng Ireland then show the card then ok na, kahit di pa ko actually permanent resident ng Ireland.

Just to share my experience on PH Immigration.
I'm currently holding 491 visa and currently working na sa AU, umuwi ako ng pinas para sunduin ang mag iina ko. Madami ako na basa sa forum na hindi na daw ng need ng OEC, siguro eto yung first time palang papasok ng AU at wala pang work, since wala pang maveverify si POEA na work contract.
Pero para dun sa may mga work na, ibang case. Tinanong ko si POLO Australia and ang reply nila considered OFW and 491 visa holiders, so need mag pa verify ng contract at ng OEC para makalabas ng Pinas.
Fastfoward after maverify and contract (shout-out sa POLO Australia kasi na expedite nila yung verification ko kahit loaded sila hehe sila ang government agency from PH na sobrang dali kausap at ang bilis mag reply) and yung OEC sa Pinas ko inasikaso kasi wala dito sa AU. Yung experience ko nag pag kuha ng OEC sa POEA (Madaluyong Branch) is smooth. Pag dating ko diretso nako sa verification windows kasi nga na verify na ni POLO Australia ang contract. Walang pang 30mins tapos na ako sa POEA.
Pag dating sa Immigration, ayun na nga. Buti ready ako lahat ng documents, hinanap ni officer ang ff na documents.
Tinanong din si misis kung may work sa Au, sabi namin wala. so hindi na sya hinanapan ng mga ibang documents.
Based lang ito sa experience ko. hehe

I think hindi consistent yung POEA or POLO dito kasi nung 489 visa pa ko at umuwi ng pinas na may work na din hindi naman ako hinanapan ng OEC kasi Temporary Visa ang 499 hindi naman sya working visa. Same lang naman ang 491 at 489 visa.

Yes, nagtry din ako magregister dyan pero wala ako makitang option tab for 491. Nagemail din ako sa CFO pero wala pa reply, kaya sinubukan ko maginquire sa fb page nila, ito ang sagot...
"CFO only registers Filipino emigrants with permanent resident visas. Aastralian Skilled Work Regional (provisional) Subclass 491 is not classified as a permanent resident visa. You are not required to register with the CFO.... You may need to attend a PDOS for OFWs..."
Then tumawag na lang daw ako sa POEA to check pre-departure requirements.

pwede ka muna sa non regional for a bit, pero no one knows the exact time na need mo pumunta sa regional agad kasi wala naman talagang ganung instruction. I had a friend na nagrantan ng 491 who lives in Sydney, after 2 mos lumipat na sya ng regional. Just update your address sa immi when you move. I think the most reasonable timeframe is around a month sa non-regional, if 3 mos+ baka pushing it na yun

the specific requirements for work contract certification by POLO (Philippine Overseas Labor Office) may vary depending on the country and its regulations. If the company refuses to sign the addendum, you may need to seek legal advice or discuss the matter with the relevant labor authorities to understand your rights and options.

The Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) ps 491 visa is an Australian visa that allows skilled workers to live and work in designated regional areas. Since this visa is not a traditional overseas employment contract, it is unlikely that the Philippine Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC) would be required for returning to Australia. However, visa requirements and regulations may change, so it's essential to check with the Philippine immigration authorities or consult an immigration expert for the latest and most accurate information.

Hindi naman tayo OFW, we are immigrants. And 491 is a provisional PR visa. We are Skilled Migrants.

Napaka inconsistent talaga ng immigration natin. Ito pala nabasa ko lang, OFW- stay dependent on work contract while IMMIGRANTS- No work contract required. Shift from Immigrant to Permanent Resident to Citizen

understood the inconsistency , 491 can still be renewed and extended , but is still considered temporary in nature but it can give way to PR pathway. Onus is upon IO as it is a gray area , for me is best to err at the side of caution until you convert it into 191.

@datch29 hello po. Hiningan po ba kayo ni POLO AU nito?
Original copy of Signed addendum (Annex A) as hereto attached to comply with the minimum requirements of the POEA in employing Filipino Workers abroad which will form part of your existing employment contract. OR An insurance policy/Health Insurance in Australia (with front page -complete name and policy number) may be submitted in lieu of the addendum provided there is a provision for repatriation and medical evacuation to the Philippines in case of worker's death or severe illness.
If yes po, ano po naprovide nyo? Hindi po kasi makakapagprovide si employer ko ng addendum. Nagtry naman po ako mag-inquire sa insurance providers like Bupa and Medibank pero wala daw po silang cover na may repatriation. Onshore po ako nung na-grant 491 then umuwi po ako PH and balik po sa January 30.
