  Ah ganun ba...so obligado pala talaga na mag aral mag drive para makakuha ng drivers license para may mapag kilanlan. Problema to sa mga misis na mahina loob na ayaw mag drive tulad ng asawa q. Di bale proof of age card nalang. Also mas mahal travel tax na babayaran sa airport kasi wala maipapakita ng proof of PR. Kasi pag punta ng SG 200/pax lang with PR card if wala 1,6++. So if you're family of 5 aba malakeng halaga din yun...
  
  well thanks eniways bro..at least i know now.
  

  Just wondering...sorry if OT itong question.
  
  Sa Australia po ba eh nag iissue ng IC (identity card) for PR, 457, 475 etc..?. Like here in SG pag PR ka may blue IC ka, tas pag di PR meron S-pass, E-pass atbp. And then pag di PR (475 or 457 visa holder) kelangan ba kumuha lage OEC if mag travel to and from Aussie to Pinas?
  
  Thanks..

  walang IC, usually driver's license or proof of age card ang ginagamit for identification. pag wala ka nito, you have to bring your passport.
  
  OEC - yes standard naman ito for OWWA members (OFW)

  @Phil_Sing_Au ginawa ko dati, since OWWA ang hawak ko bago ako umalis ng SG, kumuha ako ng OEC bago ako umuwi pinas para makapagbakasyon bago lumipad sa AU. nakalusot naman ako sa immig sa pinas as OFW kahit na may CFO sticker na ang passport ko at dahil dun wala akong binayarang travel tax at terminal fee
  
  eto pala ay applicable lang sa mga di pa nagsusurrender ng IC bago lumipad papuntang AU

  This is interesting @jaero - as far as I am aware kasi, your OEC is only valid for travil to the country where you work as an OFW. In your (mine previously as well) case, it is Singapore. So if you leave Philippines and go a vacation to say Hong Kong, Bangkok, or even Australia, kailangan magbayad ng travel tax.
  
  Darn, sayang di ako nag collect ng OEC... Sayang din ang travel tax!!

  @Phil_Sing_Au - pwede po gamitin ang visa label mo as AU migrant in order to get exemption from paying the departure tax. Just show this to the person collecting the departure tax. If you don't have the visa label, show them the visa grant letter.
  
  Take note that you need to activate your PR first before you can avail of this benefit... For those who will do their first entry to Australia, no choice here but to pay for travel tax.

  @Phil_Sing_Au ginawa ko dati, since OWWA ang hawak ko bago ako umalis ng SG, kumuha ako ng OEC bago ako umuwi pinas para makapagbakasyon bago lumipad sa AU. nakalusot naman ako sa immig sa pinas as OFW kahit na may CFO sticker na ang passport ko at dahil dun wala akong binayarang travel tax at terminal fee
  
  eto pala ay applicable lang sa mga di pa nagsusurrender ng IC bago lumipad papuntang AU

  @Jaero pano ba kumuha ng CFO sticker na nabangit mo? Any information kung pano proseso pagkuha nito? Requirement ba sa lahat ito kahit sa mga infant?
  
  TIA

  sorry nakalimutan ko sabihin, via singapore ang flight papuntang AU. mas mura ang nakuha naming flight from manila to sg then second flight sg to au kaysa kumuha kami ng direct flight. mas mura na, nakatipid pa sa travel tax wag nyo na lang pakita ung SG to AU, unless nasa iisang ticket wala kayong lusot kung idemand ang ticket nyo hehe

  Pareho po tyo ng gagawin na flight papuntang AU. Manila to SG then SG to Adelaide. Sure po ba yun na hindi na magbabayad travel tax at terminal fee? Sa SG ba may babayaran pa rin ba dun? Do you have any idea how much? Thank

  In 2 months, nakabili na kami ng kotse, may decent na bahay na na-rerentahan. Hopefully, soon, makabili na ng sariling bahay. Worth it ba yung decision namin umalis ng SG at pumunta dito? Yes, may challenges, pero I think ok naman. Overall, pangit customer service dito sa AU, yun lang ayaw ko. Racism? Yes, meron, pero kahit naman sa pinas meron. Tanungin nyo mga Indians at Africans na nasa Pilipinas and the same ang irereklamo nila. Hospitable pinoy? Yeah, pag-puti otherwise, I don't think so.

  Since maliit pa aq, inambisyon q na tlaga ang Australia. Kaya aq nagsipag mag aral pra sa ambisyon kong mkapunta ng Australia. Luckily pgktpos q ng BSME q na course, opportunity came to my dad na direct hire xa ng isang employer d2 sa OZ at inisponsoran ng 457 visa. Hndi namin inexpect na after 1 yr pla, mkakpunta na din kmi lahat d2. Kaya my OZ dreams came to a reality.
  
  Maganda d2 sa OZ ksi everything is easy. Eventhough wlang yaya d2, kayang kaya pa rin ang lahat ng gawaing bahay. At kahit my kmahalan lahat, mkakaipon pa rin. Salary here 15x higher compare sa Pinas. Kung e coconvert m sa peso ung mga bilihin d2 sympre sobrang mahal, but kng e coconvert namn ang salary m sa peso sobrang taas namn. My dad will be turning 4 yrs here na dis coming August. At sa loob ng 4 yrs nya my 6 na sasakyan na xang nabili at 2 scooter. Pro lahat yan 2nd hand lg. Maganda lg kasi my tito akong mekaniko d2. kaya pag masira libre ung repair.

  06-01-11: Arrived Australia (457 visa dependent on my dad)
  28-05-12: Lodged RSMS 857 visa (seperate from my dad already)
  28-06-12: Done Medical check
  30-10-12: Submit AFP check

  12-01-13: CO allocated and nomination approved
  18-01-13: CO asked documents of my husband to be included on my application as migrating dependent..Thank u LORD!
  15-02-13: Husband completed all requirements (police check, medical, english requirements and joint statement)
  15-02-13: CO issued pre-grant letter instructing hubby to apply tourist visa to enter Australia in order our 857 visa to be granted.
  27-02-13: Hubby applied Subclass 676 tourist visa.
  06-03-13: Hubby's tourist visa approved.

  @nfronda, thanks sa share mo. hopefully pag natuloy ako i will be needing your uncle's contacts. mahilig din kasi ako sa second hand cars lalo yung mga di pa masyado komplikado ang electricals. ang sarap mangalikot pag may freetime saka makakasave sa labor dahil DIY lang ang maintainance gaya ng tune-ups, change oil, etc.

  @nfronda, medyo di ko pa talaga masasagot ang definite destination dahil depende pa rin sa outcome ng IELTS at Skills Assessment. kung via SS, sa Canberra. kung papalarin makakuha ng higher points, then either Melbourne or Sydney ang preference ko. kung no choice at may offer naman from WA, go na rin

  Since maliit pa aq, inambisyon q na tlaga ang Australia. Kaya aq nagsipag mag aral pra sa ambisyon kong mkapunta ng Australia. Luckily pgktpos q ng BSME q na course, opportunity came to my dad na direct hire xa ng isang employer d2 sa OZ at inisponsoran ng 457 visa. Hndi namin inexpect na after 1 yr pla, mkakpunta na din kmi lahat d2. Kaya my OZ dreams came to a reality.
  
  Maganda d2 sa OZ ksi everything is easy. Eventhough wlang yaya d2, kayang kaya pa rin ang lahat ng gawaing bahay. At kahit my kmahalan lahat, mkakaipon pa rin. Salary here 15x higher compare sa Pinas. Kung e coconvert m sa peso ung mga bilihin d2 sympre sobrang mahal, but kng e coconvert namn ang salary m sa peso sobrang taas namn. My dad will be turning 4 yrs here na dis coming August. At sa loob ng 4 yrs nya my 6 na sasakyan na xang nabili at 2 scooter. Pro lahat yan 2nd hand lg. Maganda lg kasi my tito akong mekaniko d2. kaya pag masira libre ung repair.

  +1. Galing! Nakaka-inspire. God bless you and your family always.

  Well done nfronda! very inspiring story. Ako din eh di ko inaasaan na makakapunta ako dito. Ngayun Citizen na rin... Pareho pala kami ng tatay mo 457 then 857 visa. Puede na mag apply sya ng citizenship kung naka 4 years na sya dito sa Oz. Good luck and enjoy... God bless your family...

  Mabait yung employer ng Dad mo. Talaga blessing para sa inyo kahit na nasa age limit na papa mo from 457 to PR visa. Ang pagkaalam ko at 45 years old ang limit but mabait ang God. God has perfect plan for us at the right time. Goodluck.
