Witness for Statutory Letter from SG

buchock · March 2013

Hi, tanong lang ako sa mga galing SG. Currently, I',m in the process of collecting all the requirements for the ACS Skills Assessment. Nagrequest ako ng Experience Letter or Certificate of Employment from my current employer, but they told me that stating the Roles/Duties and responsibilities is against their company policy.. wala akong idea kung bakit..

If that's the case, probably kailangan kong magkaroon ng Statutory Letter with the sign of my manager or colleague and a witness. From their list of witnessess, wala akong idea kung saan ako maghahanap dito.

Is there anyone have the same scenario na nagprovide din ng Statutory Letter here in SG at saan kayo humanap ng witness na equivalent sa list nila?
But im still convincing my employer to include the roles/duties and responsibilities..

Salamat

just bring your manager to any notary public sa sg. but, before doing that, make sure na naayos mo na ang statutory declaration layout mo according sa layout na accepted nung notary public na pupuntahan mo. minsan kasi may kanya kanyang template sila e. pag ok na, saka mo ngayon dalhin yung manager mo to sign witnessed by them.

madami naman notary public sa sg...hanap ka lang. ako sa peninsula plaza pumunta dati. sa 8th floor.

@buchock - i Share ko yung lawyer dito sa SG na nagse certify true copy at nag witness ng Statutoty Declaration ko nung nagpa assess ako sa Vetassess:

Lawyer: Joann Ting LLCcontact number:6836 5459Office Address:435 Orchard Road, #15-01 Wisma Atria 238877

Okay sya kasi mabait at guaranteed na palaging may sumasagot sa office nila kapag tumawag ka, which is very important in case mag verify ang assessing body na pagsa submit-an mo.

Yung sa Stat Declaration ko, ako lang ang nag compose. Isinulat ko na ang mga duties at Responsibilities ko sa loob ng Stat Declaration at reason why ako nag stat dec (di kasi alam ng boss ko na nag a apply ako ng migration). Mas ok yung sa iyo kasi pwede nilang i verify ang mga roles & responsibilities mo sa boss mo.

@GotoWaOZ - Salamat sa info.. Sige puntahan ko yung office muna or tawagan ko sila. Magkno ang fee nila nung time na nagpa-witness ka for Statutory Declaration?

But now im still negotiating/convincing my employer to provide me a COE with duties & responsibilities. Kinukulit ko pa rin sila even though sinabi nila skin kanina na againts sa company policy daw.... bkit kaya? yung sweldo naka-indicate which is mas confidential...

GoToWaOZ · March 2013

@buchock - $40 po ang Stat Declaration ... they follow a certain standard in their charges for certifying and Stat Declaration. She is also a member of the Singapore Law Society kaya credible.

You don't need to go to the law ofc prior to the statutory declaration. You just need to prepare the document but don't sign it kasi yung pag sign mo ang iwi witness ng lawyer. I used this :

•Commonwealth statutory declaration form [DOC 53KB] from the Attorney General's office of Australia: http://www.ag.gov.au/Publications/Pages/Statutorydeclarations.aspx

Sige, try to convince them pa din pero if talagang hindi pagbibigyan, ikaw nalang ang mag define (in detail) sa Statutory Declaration. Yung standard form above.

@GoToWaOZ

Ano po ang assessing body nyo? Approved po b yung self stat dec n pinasa nyo? Thanx po..

buchock · March 2013

@GotoWaOZ - salamat po sa info pero based sa ACS (assessing body in my case) hindi pwede ang self stat dec, so kailangan ko talagang bitbitin ang boss ko dun.

GoToWaOZ · April 2013

@buchock Hi Sir, pasensya na, nawala ako sa circulation... Vetassess ang sa amin and approved naman. Hope ok na ang processing mo...

gmad06 · April 2013

basing from my experience and I hope it will not be the same case for you,wala namang problema ang notary office dito sa SG.ang biggest challenge is ang paghanap ng boss or colleague na sasama sayo sa notary office. but it depends also on the assessing body
baka tatanggap sila ng self-statutory

Cheers!!

buchock · April 2013

@GoToWaOZ - oks lang po... updated and timeline mo ah

Congrats!

@gmad06 - yun na nga ang problema ko, nagpapagood-shot pa ako sa boss ko (singaporean) bago ako magsabi na bibitbitin ko sya para lang magsign..

Pasok kaya as witness ang pre-school teacher (pinay) dito sa SG?
sa list of Authorised Witness merong ganito,
"Teacher employed on a full-time basis at a school or tertiary education institution"

hotshot · April 2013

@buchock : hmmm...di ko sure kung pwede ang teacher pag outside Australia e. para sure, sa notary public nyo na lang dalhin. suggestion ko lang lang naman ito.

GoToWaOZ · April 2013

@buchock may nakalagay na yung mag wi witness sa stat dec MUST have a connection with Australia , i agree kay Sir @hotshot...safer kung Notary Public ang witness dto sa SG

vhoythoy · April 2013

yung stat declatory ko ko pirma ko lang at si atty ee wala ng iba. mali ba ginawa ko hahaha

hotshot · April 2013

@vhoythoy : depende kasi sa nagaassess kung pwede ang self stat dec e. for my case (ACS), di tinanggap ang self stat dec nung assessor ko.

buchock · April 2013

@hotshot - yung kasama ko dito ACS din assessor nya at ang stat dec nya sa pinas e full time Elementary Teacher and witness, so far Suitable naman result nya last month. Siguro yung witnessess outside australia e equivalent except siguro yung mga may commonwealth description.

Humahanap lang ako ng alternative way in case ayaw sumama ng boss ko.. hehehe

tutik · April 2013

@GoToWaOZ, i'm also in the process of preparing my docs for assessment. been following this thread and thanks sa mga shinare mo. follow-up question lang did you have to bring your supervisor along to sign the declaration? medyo nalilito lang kasi ang intindi ko sa VETASSESS SRG1 Explanatory Notes Appendix C ay mention lang naman ang kailangan c/w his position and contact no. so di na sya kailangan magsign sa declaration. tama po ba?

carrie · April 2013

@gmad06 wala po bang way na hindi na kasama ang boss/bisor? waaah!

vhoythoy · April 2013

Ako halo2. Stat declaration, generic coe, contract, iras, pati email thread ko na humihingicng detailed coe. Bahala na vetassess let see hehe

papai_8 · September 2013

Question po, meron po akong COE for my work sa pinas na sarado na.. pero Job Title at Duration lang nakalagay. Pwede po na gumawa ako ng Stat Dec tapos attach ko ung COE and email nung dati kong Director about my job description?

salamat

You have 2 options:

1. Yun sinabi mo
2. Doctorin mo basta meron kang copy ng company stationary nila and soft copy ng signature ng boss mo
- not advisable kasi at risk na babagsak ka if they find out that document is fake
- the document may be fake but the information contained in the document is not

Gumagana parehong diskarte at iyun visa results mo lang magsasabi kung worth it gawin iyun #2 o hindi.

Kala ko napa canada ka na? Tuloy pa rin efforts at an australian dream?

packerx · October 2013

@gmad06 wala po bang way na hindi na kasama ang boss/bisor? waaah!

Gawa ka ng certificate of employment between you and your boss? Mas ok kung makagawa ka ng company stationary using a good colored printer. Mahirap talaga dalhin ang boss sa personal na lakad na ganyan.

Wala di makakuha si employer ko ng LMO sa hrsdc sa ottawa. Mhigpit daw ngaun at may mga scandals etc. may signed offer nman at anytime daw na makadating ako canada may work nman ako kaso nga lang kung mag pr process ako matagal2 at wala accountant sa skill set ngaun 2013. Stayput muna yun. Australia nman ok na assessment ko plus ielts ipon nlanh visa fees hehe

IslanderndCity · October 2013

@GoToWaOZ ang laking tulong nito. Hehe.

Hello everybody, accept po ba ng SELF statutory declaration ang Engineers Australia?

Para hindi ko na ipaalam sa boss ko na plan ko migrate. So ako at si attorney lang ang may pirma sa job description na gawa ko.

redvelvet · July 2014

hi guys! some of my ITRs are missing. do i still need to submit statutory declaration for this? if yes, who would TRA require as witness/es for it? would my and the lawyer's signature do?

according to this http://www.ag.gov.au/Publications/Page /Statutorydeclarationsignatorylist.aspx kse " If you are currently overseas, you may be able find someone who is an authorised witness at your nearest Australian Embassy, high commission or consulate." if i follow this statement, i need to travel all the way to manila pa, dagdag gastos

redvelvet · July 2014

by the way, i had already sought help from my previous employer for those missing ITRs but very passive. i'm also waiting for the local BIR if would be of any assistance.

katniss · July 2014

Hi po
Newbie po ako and ngccheck p lng po sa acs na site na required ung notary signature n nka state na 'referee's signature is witnessed'... ung sa andrew ee po ba is me gnung note s pagnonotary? Thanks po.

pidiong09 · February 2017

Hello po! ask ko lng po kung required ba isama un copy nun ID nun pumirma ng statutory declaration? Salamat po

anntotsky · April 2017

hi tanong ko lang po .
1. baka may kakilala kayong lawyer around changi business park? or cheap na pede pumunta sa office.. so far lahat ng natanong ko would cost me 200. upto 700 sgd. im looking kasi for the option na ung lawyer ppunta sa office nmin.. para makapirma boss ko

2. ung SD sabi sa guidelines SD must include the following:

Certified copy of payslips – preferably first & last payslip for the employment period
 Certified copy a Human Resource statement or Service Certificate with employment dates
 Certified copy of a Termination Letter with employment dates

problem is - i only have the first payslip, 2nd mali dates na nilagay sa certificate ko, 3rd wala ako termination letter. Can I submit ITR instead? ITR is notice of assessment - original. tama po ba?

thanks a lot
