Good day po,
Ask ko lang po, currently naka 491 visa ako then gusto namin mag vacation sa Pinas, need po ba namin ng OEC? Hindi kasi kami sure need ba nyan eh.
Thank you po sa sasagot 😊

Kaya nga eh, pero willing din ako mag drive 6hrs tapos may konting gala na din.
Ang problema kasi minsan hindi concistent ang mga sinasabi eh. May mga nagsasabi na NO NEED ng OEC meron naman nagsasabi na kailangan. Yung kasama ko dito sa work na naka 491 visa din na nagbakasyon last December, dere-deretcho lang daw xa eh walang hinanap na documents kundi visa copy lang. Kaya nakakalito na.

Naka register na ba kayo sa OWWA? Pwede rin naman pag uwi nio na lang saka nio gawin yung OEC sa airport nio na mismo asikasuhin may DMW desk naman sa mga airports sa atin.

2 weeks lang kami sa pinas eh kaya gusto sana namin matapos lahat dito para masulit ang aming bakasyon.
Hindi ako sure tungkol sa OWWA kasi dati kami sa Saudi so malamang meron kami nyan dati.

i believe 491 visa is actually a visa that allows you to stay in Australia, kahit wala kang work, so it beats the reason of getting an OEC for it, unlike 482 visa, kung san nakatali ang status natin dun sa employer natin...
the thing is, wala kang problema dito sa AU, sa PH lang talaga medyo mahirap kasi depende dun sa kaalaman ng IO na makakausap mo kapag babalik ka na dito... i would suggest to try to ring the PH embassy in Canberra:
or send an email to them
at least meron ka correspondence proving that you don't need or an exempt from getting an OEC... i hope that helps po
all the best!
God Bless!

Kapag 1st timer ka wag kang pipila sa OFW dun sa normal na pila ng tourist. Makwento ko lang yung experience ko.
So pumila ako dun sa pang hindi OFW lane then ako nasa IO (binigay ang passport and copy of visa).
IO: Dapat dun ka sa OFW ah
ako: Wala pa po akong work sa Australia
IO: Ano to mag mimigrate ka sa Australia
ako: Ay hindi po 5 years lang yung visa ko then babalik ako ng pinas (itsaprank sa isip isip ko)
IO: Ano tong visa mo open for work dun ka maghahanap ng work.
ako: opo
IO: May kasama ka?
ako: opo yung asawa nasa kabila (tapos na yung misis ko nakalagpas na)
Then ayun na dumeretcho na ako. Basta confident ka sa mga sasabihin mo at wag kakabahan.

Yes, ganito dapat. Confident sa pagsagot sa IO and pumila sa tamang lane.
Importante alam mo scope and restrictions ng visa na hawak mo. Kasi pag napansin nila na maski ikaw confused sa situation mo, dami pa itatanong mga yan.
Hindi ko na maalala kung tama, pero may OEC exemption cert yatang nabanggit dito sa forum for 491 lalo kung wala pa talagang work. Always prepare bago lumipad.

dahil siguro sa recent hack sa DMW website?
copied from FB page:
DMW ADVISORY
As a result of a ransomware attack on DMW online systems, the Department through its Management Information Technology System had to take pre-emptive measures to protect OFW data and information, such as taking the systems offline. While efforts to restore online systems are ongoing, electronic or online systems that issue OECs/OFW Passes and OFW information sheets and other online services may not be used temporarily.
Rest assured, DMW databases containing OFW data were not affected by the attack, and that the DMW is currently working with the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) to restore online systems and ensure continued protection of the data and information of OFWs.
The DMW has activated the following systems and processes to deliver services to OFWs:
1. For OFWs securing OECs/OFW Pass, they may proceed to the DMW National Office, Regional Offices and extensions, One-stop Shops, and Migrant Workers Assistance Centers for manual processing of their OECs/OFW Pass.
2. For OFWs securing their information sheets, they do not have to go to any DMW office. They may send their request for information sheets at [email protected] and the DMW will send their QR-coded information sheets directly to the requesting worker. OFWs may send their requests via the DMW Facebook page messenger (https://web.facebook.com/dmw.gov.ph).
The DMW is coordinating with the Bureau of Immigration (BI) and airport authorities to facilitate the smooth departure of OFWs.
The DMW apologizes for inconveniences to the OFWs and members of their families and is exerting all efforts to continue serving OFWs while instituting stronger measures to protect their information.

OFW ako sa Ireland and never naman akong pumila sa OFW lane, para kasing mas mahaba at matagal ang questioning dun. So far, never naman nag comment ung IO sa tourist lane kung bakit ako hindi pumila sa OFW. Actually di rin ako hinihingan ng OEC...chinicheck lang nila ung residence card ko sa Ireland...
Basta ang script ko kasi, "nakatira po ako sa Ireland"...not "nag wowork sa Ireland"

hahaha! Parang mas okay pa nga to. Char! Kasi naman may maasim talagang IO dyan at tinandaan ko mukha. Mukhang shrek na maliit. Talagang kahit labas pasok ka na ng pinas, legit ofw at maraming visas, hahanapan ka pa talaga ng butas haha. Saan ganito mo, saan ganyan mo? Tapos sisimangot pag tatak ng passport. Meron din naman na simpleng scan ng passport okay na sya wala na hinihingi maski OEC. Ang inconsistent lang kasi ng immigration rules/officer dyan. Kaya dapat assertive yet polite ka.
Add: protocol lang manhingi sila ng oec / residence permit pero jusko sana pag naprovide na lahat okay na. Hindi yung dami pa tatanong na ittry. Tapos pause saglit baka pwede pa ma offload to. Bwisit. 😅

If I may ask na din sir, di ko makita signature mo eh kasi naka mobile lang ako. Why Australia and not Ireland?

Incidental ung Ireland ko. Nauna ko mag apply for 190 sa AU before Ireland, then habang naghihintay na hindi rin sure sa success since covid nung time na un, nag apply rin akong work sa West. haha. Then employer from Ireland ung nag sponsor out of all my applications so pinatulan ko na un. Then nasa Ireland nako ng ma invite ng AU (after about 3 years ng pag lodge ko ng EOI), inisip kong ituloy na rin as a backup pero plan ko muna mag naturalise sa Ireland to get their passport (haha user lang), then try ko pa rin mag move sa AU since granted na rin 190 ko eh. Honestly parang may fear of missing out lang ako, iniisip ko kung need ko ba i give up ung isa, baka mag end up ako sa wala.... may application nga rin ako sa Express Entry ng Canada pero yun ni give up ko na un, di ko na ni renew. hahaha.
Di naman halata na gustong gusto kong mag migrate no? haha
