    Hello po! Thank you po sa lahat ng sumagot po at tumulong. Approved na po ang 457 visa namin ni hubby. :)

    Ask ko lang po, need po ba ng visa label sa Pinas? Or hindi na po? AUD70 din po kasi ang bayad nun per label. Thank you po.

    Ate/kuya, nasa SG pa ba kayo? I am currently working in SG din po and waiting sa approval ng 457 visa ko po. Brisbane, QLD po kami. Sana ma-approve. Lagi kami nag-pray ng parents and gf ko.

    Question lang po: Ok na po yong visa nyo? Kumuha ba kayo ng bagong OWWA dito sa Phil Embassy in SG? May bayad po?

    Thank you so much.

    hi kailangan mo pumunta ng POEA para sa OEC. kung mangagaling ka sa pinas papunta ng australia. Hahanapin sa iyo yan sa immigration sa NAIA. kapag wala ka nyan baka di ka pasakayin sa Airplane at kung pasakayin ka man baka hingan ka ng Php5 thou to 30 thou. Goodluck.

    Hello!

    Na-double check niyo na po ba eto? Kasi, sa pagkakaalam ko, lahat ng pinoy 457 visa holders, kailangan ng OEC. Kakarating ko lang po dito sa Brissy nung January, so I know this policy is very much in place.

    Yung OWWA hihingi ng conditions of employment from your employer. To which the employer complies with, signs and returns to OWWA. Saka kayo bibigyan OEC. After niyo din attend PDOS. Galing din po ako Sg. Ang ginawa ko, umuwi ako ng Pinas, kumuha ng OEC, and exited from the Philippines.

    I'm aware yung OEC ay sa immigration lang natin. Pero iwas-sakit ng ulo na rin. But if na-verify niyo na po eto, at ok naman, then I guess you're ok and good to go.

    Just my two cents lang po. :)

    May OEC po kami from SG embassy, technically po kasi may work pa po kami dito sa SG kaya po di po ako kukuha from Pinas. Kasi po babalik pa po kami ng SG before po kami pumunta ng AU. Or do we need to get another one from SG embassy? Tama po ba?

    Eto rin yong iniisip ko po and di ko pa natanong sa Phil Embassy. Kasi I'm currently working in SG and dito rin ung departure ko papuntang Brisbane. Pero isip ko, hindi na siguro need e update yong OWWA and kumuha ng OEC kasi sa SG naman departure country ko.

    Pag-nasa OZ na ako and uuwi ako ng Pinas, saka ko nalang e update ung OWWA ko and kumuha ng OEC.

    Tama po ba etong naisip ko? Salamat po.

    Yung OEC mo ngayun ay sg employer mo yun. iba nman yung employer sa australia. Kaya kailangan mo talaga kumuha ng bago.

    Kung wala kayong balak dumaan na ng Pinas bago pumunta ng Oz, then kayang wala nang OEC.

    Take note ang OEC ay nagmamatter kung manggagaling ka ng NAIA.

    Ngayon kung nakikini-kinita mo na dadaan kayo ng Pinas soon then better get one soon after you land sa Oz.

    Ngayon, you can risk getting multiple OEC from SIngapore, then kukuha ka ng flight from Manila to SG, then ibang eroplano from SG to Oz. Sa NAIA, ipakita mo lang yung SG flight details mo and SG OEC.

    Kaso mo, may mga ibang IO na rin na bukod sa OEC ay chinecheck pa ang IC. Alam nila yung concept ng EP,SPass,PR etc....

    Sir, lester here. kaka-reciv ko lang ng visa grant notice ko last january as dependent ng partner ko. he is the primary 457 visa applicant and he is working na sa melbourne. mine too was also a 457 visa dependent type. ask ko lang sana sa may info kung ano pa need ko para hnd maharang sa immigration sa airport... mejo kinakabahan kasi ako baka maharang pa. all i have are the visa grant notice and passport. last time nagpunta ako ng philippine immigration, unfortunately nalungkot lang ako kasi hnd nila alam ang case ko. they gave me the number of immigration sa NAIA, pero many times ko tinawagan nagriring lang...:( nagpunta din ako sa CFO and nag-inquire kung need ko pa magPDOS. They told me na no need na daw dhl sa type ng visa ko. tinanong ko din sila dun kung need ko din bang magpunta ng POEA, sabi nila hindi na daw. pero until now hnd p tlga ako panatag kung wla ng magiging problem sa immigration.
