Eto po sabi ni @lock_code about points test advise -
normally kasi ksama na yan sa skills assessment, pero may mga ibang assessing body na hiwalay pa pati bayad (like EA at Vetassess), so pag hindi ka nagrequest, wala kang basis kung ilan ang claim mo for work experience..
pero kung nakalagay na sa assessment result mo kung ilang years ang relevant to skills, at kung diploma/bachelor ang education, then yun na un.. For money order, pwede po ang bank draft. You can get it sa singpost or posb.
Yes processing is more or less 60 working days.
Results and acknowledgements are thru air mail or by post.

i'm in the process of gathering docs for skills assessment. Based sa self-assessment ko, my points is only 55. But since i'm eyeing the visa 190, sakto lang na 60 points. ok lang po bang mag-lodge na ng EOI or mag-wait muna ng invite from the state (granted na positive ang assessment ko)? ma-reject kaya ng state since 55points lang ako?

i'm assuming you'll be coming from sg when you fly for your initial entry. if you'll be flying from pinas, then you'll need to attend the CFO seminar.
good luck and congrats!

@hotshot Thanks po...yes we'll be coming fr sg
@GoToWaOZ That is for CHARACTER REQUIREMENTS po
Evidence of Character
In order to be granted a visa for entry to Australia you must meet the character test. You must
provide a police clearance certificate from each country where you have lived for a total of 12
months or more in the last 10 years, these 12 months are calculated cumulatively, not
consecutively.
Country-specific instructions on how to obtain a police clearance is at

We stopped by Singapore for a few hours last April 3 - I was not able to eat chicken rice though as our barkada treated us on a delicious (and probably expensive) italian lunch somewhere near my previous office... it was a nice experience to meet good friends and ex-colleagues.
Singapore Changi Airport is still as impressive as ever!
We are now here in Melbourne, so far we were able to already all the things that needs to be done - by Monday, we will be ready to start with our applications...
All the best to all of you guys, it is nice to know that this thread I started some months back is still generating some new posts!
