Hi Everyone. I just received my PR Visa SB 189 this November. I immediately attended CFO/PDOS and got the digital certificate. During the seminar, they shared the list of requirements to present to PH immigration. Ok lang po paki verify for those who have made the BM post-September 2023 (new immigration guidelines)?

Passport - valid more than 6 months

Visa/Residence Card -> eVisa via VEVO

CFO Document - Digital Certificate
4. Airline Ticket - 1 way or round trip?

etravel.gov.ph eTravel Departure card - Select "Emigrant"

Travel Tax - TEZA

Other Visa docs. Visa Grant Letter Australia.

Airline Passenger Profile Declaration Form (airline) TBD, depends on the airline.

BOI - Travel Declaration and acceptance of Terms and Risks Form - download from Buereau of Immigration

Traze QR Code - traze.ph. Contact Tracing or Malasakit Helpdesk.
11. Declaration of Funds. PH BSP Annex K Form. PH Entry and Exit. USD 10K threshold.

COVID 19 Pre test requirement - no need
13. Travel and Health Insurance

Other Documents. Birth Cert, School Records, Education, Prof, Employment, Health, Financial, other forms of identification.

Destination Country Online Declaration for arriving individuals. (IPC provided during flight)

ICV BoQ Vaccination, DOH Cert, Vaccination Cards

Photocopies of the above

Questions:
1. One-way po dapat yung plane ticket?
2. Saan po kayo kumuha ng Travel Insurance? Sa AXA need po ng return flight, ano po ilalagay doon?
3. Saan po kayo kumuha ng Health Insurance? Tinry ko sa AIA Australia need nila ng Medicard kaagad. If Medicard naman, need ng AU Bank Account AND date of arrival in Australia. Paano ko po maipapakita yung Health Insurance sa PH Immigration?
4. Hiningan po ba kayo ng PH Immigration ng Currency Declaration Form PH BSP Annex K? Less than 10,000 USD po dadalhin ko.

Answer:

Since you're already PR, one way ticket is okay.

No need travel insurance.

Ipakita mo ang Printed CFO certificate (very important) and Visa Grant Document.

Medicare, Aus Bank, you may process later once nandito kana Aus.

Congrats!

Pag dito na sa Aus na grant ang PR, do I still need CFO? Been here since Feb 2019 on an SV, uwi ako in 2 weeks so I wanna know if need to pabalik. Di sya hinanap nung umuwi ako last June on 491 e

No need na ng CFO

Hello MLBS, I don't have a concrete answer on this. But I found a post from other thread. Different scenario but this may relate to your inquiry.

All the best.

Hello, CFO-PDOS question para sa mga nakagawa na, if wala pa address sa Au, anong ilalagay dun sa country of destination address and contact number fields? Pwede bang 'n/a' lang? Salamats

dumperworthy · December 2023

Hello thank you po sa mga sagot. Another question, do I need an NBI Clearance for PH Immigration?

dumperworthy · December 2023

Sorry 2 more questions.
1. Need ba sa PH immigration ng proof of address in Australia?
2. Ok lang ba na may employer pa ako sa PH while migrating to Australia (remote work muna until I find a job)?

@dumperworthy said:

No, you don't need NBI clearance. It would be unusual for an immigration officer to look for it, just like if they ask for your birth certificate, yearbook, etc.

UPDATE: Pwede kayong mag register ng Medicare online through myGov linked services (not sure whether someone posted about this already). Of course, dapat may myGov ka muna

When you try linking Medicare in myGov for the first time, it will give you an option to enrol from there.

The online form will ask for your passport and visa grant letter only. Once the form is submitted, you can track the application in myGov as well.

After 1 day, my application was approved, and the Medicare card number is provided to me in myGov right away. This is really good for those who need to immediately avail medical services because there is no need to call Medicare and get the card number.

The physical card will be delivered in 3-4wks. Will post another update once it's delivered.

EDIT 1: Applicable to PR visa holders only (189, 190, etc).

EDIT 2: After 1.5wks, my physical card arrived. Success!

Haha yeah, pang PR nga lang. Nag apply naman yata kayo through the usual channel?

Hi @_sebodemacho did you email DHA po upon arrival ninyo informing them na dumating na kayo dito sa Au?

paano niyo rin po nastrengthen yung digital identity po ninyo? visa pa lang po kasi yung meron pa kami ngayon.

@mikelle said:

No, di kami nag inform. There is no need, I believe. Kasi sa VEVO visa checker nakalagay na Onshore na kami. I think centralised naman yung data na yun. They were able to track it through our airport entry.

paano niyo rin po nastrengthen yung digital identity po ninyo? visa pa lang po kasi yung meron pa kami ngayon.

We use the same thing plus PH Passport as identification. Kung may driver's licence ka na pwede ma-convert, mas ok yun. Kami passport at visa grant letter lang talaga. And soon the Medicare card. So far, wala naman kaming encounter na nanghingi more than that.

@_sebodemacho Basic pa lang kasi yung digital identity ko sa myGovID since passport with visa pa lang yung amin. nilink niyo po ba yung digital identity sa myGov then, applied for Medicare?

Nag apply muna ako ng Medicare before linking myGovID to myGov. Tataas kasi yung level mo sa myGovID with Medicare card e. Kaya nung una nga, hindi ko muna pinansin yang myGovID (digital identity) kasi Basic level pa lang.

yes, tried this one. diniretso ko sa link ng Medicare kahit di pa nakalink digital ID. It worked. Would you know kasi I saw a post na online lang din daw po yung TFN application. Checked ATO's website sa myGov daw pero di naman open yung enrolment option dun.

If nakapagsecure na po kayo ng TFN, kindly share po sana anong requirements hinanap sa inyo? Based kasi sa website, may need pang at least 2 secondary documents.

mikelle · December 2023

Also, may application/enrolment din bang needed for Centrelink?

For TFN, you have to be onshore. Info about the online application can be found here: https://www.ato.gov.au/individuals-and-families/tax-file-number/apply-for-a-tfn/foreign-passport-holders-permanent-migrants-and-temporary-visitors-tfn-application

Hiningi lang sakin kung tama alala ko ay mobile number, local address (TFN will be mailed to this address) and passport. Upon entering your passport number, malalaman kung onshore ka or hindi. The system wont allow you to proceed if you are still offshore. Hope this helps.

Centrelink is the facility for government payments and services (ayuda in short). Di pa kami nag register nito. Kasi wala naman kaming eligible upcoming government payments. The online registration form will ask for that information, so we are unable to proceed.

Ni-mark ko na lang na non-urgent task yang Centrelink.

Hi Guys, for those who recently had their BM, anong airline kayo nagbook? I read before na Qantas would be better because of the baggage allowance pero would like to get your inputs. Wala kasi akong nakikita so far na puro Cebpac lang, mostly will have to transfer to another airline during the layovers. Thanks!

Hello, you can check Singapore Airlines. They have great service and the baggage check-in allowance is 30kg. However, it is not a direct flight. There will be a layover in Singapore. You can choose between 12hrs or 24hrs layover if I remember it correctly. Pwede pa kayo mamasyal ng konti sa SG. Then the connecting flight is still Singapore Airlines from SG to AU.

Thank you for this! laking tulong! kahapon ko pa hinahanap yung application online link for this. nakapag-apply na rin kami sa wakas. Would you know ba if we can get our TFN before 28 days? kahit yung number lang muna?

For medicare, submitted na yung status namin, waiting kami sana maapprove na.

For centrelink, based nga rn sa research ko, more of concessions, benefits or ayuda nga ng government. For visas approved beyond 2019, required na ng residency period for each type of concessions para maging eligible for the benefits pero may iba kasi na no need ng residency like child support, etc. Kaya lang so far nakikita ko sa centrelink health card. I'm still looking, how to apply yung centrelink card only. If meron ngang ganun. hehe. Tawagan ko na lang din centrelink para sure.

May I know saang state po kayo @_sebodemacho ?

Yes normaly have layover, but there are choices of 1.5 - 3 hours lang ata if I’m not mistaken.. pero if 12-24 hours pede naman mamasyal at lumabas since mahaba ang layover..

EDIT: Applicable to PR visa holders only (189, 190, etc).

Sir maraming salamat sa useful info na ito. May tanong lang ako, nakita ko kasi signature mo. Did you find a job in AU while you are in SG and pinayagan ka nila magremote work from SG? not sure kung tama pagkakaintindi ko. Nasa SG pa kasi ako now, and trying to submit online applications. Thanks

mjp19 · December 2023

@_sebodemacho clarify ko lang din, yung application mo ng medicare online is dapat ba onshore ka na or pwede na siang gawin while offshore? Thanks

Di ko ito sure. I would imagine it might be similar to TFN, that the system is able to detect whether you are onshore already. But you can always try. Malay mo mag proceed

@_sebodemacho Basic pa lang kasi yung digital identity ko sa myGovID since passport with visa pa lang yung amin. nilink niyo po ba yung digital identity sa myGov then, applied for Medicare?

Nag apply muna ako ng Medicare before linking myGovID to myGov. Tataas kasi yung level mo sa myGovID with Medicare card e. Kaya nung una nga, hindi ko muna pinansin yang myGovID (digital identity) kasi Basic level pa lang.

yes, tried this one. diniretso ko sa link ng Medicare kahit di pa nakalink digital ID. It worked. Would you know kasi I saw a post na online lang din daw po yung TFN application. Checked ATO's website sa myGov daw pero di naman open yung enrolment option dun.

If nakapagsecure na po kayo ng TFN, kindly share po sana anong requirements hinanap sa inyo? Based kasi sa website, may need pang at least 2 secondary documents.

For TFN, you have to be onshore. Info about the online application can be found here: https://www.ato.gov.au/individuals-and-families/tax-file-number/apply-for-a-tfn/foreign-passport-holders-permanent-migrants-and-temporary-visitors-tfn-application

Hiningi lang sakin kung tama alala ko ay mobile number, local address (TFN will be mailed to this address) and passport. Upon entering your passport number, malalaman kung onshore ka or hindi. The system wont allow you to proceed if you are still offshore. Hope this helps.

Thank you for this! laking tulong! kahapon ko pa hinahanap yung application online link for this. nakapag-apply na rin kami sa wakas. Would you know ba if we can get our TFN before 28 days? kahit yung number lang muna?

For medicare, submitted na yung status namin, waiting kami sana maapprove na.

For centrelink, based nga rn sa research ko, more of concessions, benefits or ayuda nga ng government. For visas approved beyond 2019, required na ng residency period for each type of concessions para maging eligible for the benefits pero may iba kasi na no need ng residency like child support, etc. Kaya lang so far nakikita ko sa centrelink health card. I'm still looking, how to apply yung centrelink card only. If meron ngang ganun. hehe. Tawagan ko na lang din centrelink para sure.

May I know saang state po kayo @_sebodemacho ?

Ah nice, onshore na pala kayo. Yes, darating yung TFN in a week.

Sa VIC kami. All the best!

Nice, same po pala tayo.

Submitted pa lang nakalagay sa aming Medicare at TFN, matagal po ba ito bago magnotify na approved na? Saw yours 1 day lang approved na yung Medicare, sa amin kasi submitted pa rin for 2 days na.

Hi @_sebodemacho did you email DHA po upon arrival ninyo informing them na dumating na kayo dito sa Au?

No, di kami nag inform. There is no need, I believe. Kasi sa VEVO visa checker nakalagay na Onshore na kami. I think centralised naman yung data na yun. They were able to track it through our airport entry.
