question lang po, while I was reading our Visa grant letter, may section po stating:
Important Information for nationals from the Philippines There are guidelines on departure formalities for all international bound Philippine nationals. Further information regarding this process is available at our website at www.philippines.embassy.gov.au/mnla/Exit_Permits_Philippine_Nationals.html
What if we are currently based on a different country with Residence permit, would this also apply? Or we can perform cross-country?

@ruelcortez_BH - natanong ko na yan sa cfo. This is only valid from PH to AU travel. Pero lets say ang travel nyo is from ph -> sg -> au. Hindi na kayo kelangan mag attend AS OF THE MOMENT. Pero lets say after a few months or years balik kayo ng pinas then travel back to au. Hahanapan parin kayo ng CFO sticker sa passport nyo. At pwede kayong i-hold sa immigration sa pinas.

@ringo thanks uli sir. Bale ang origin namin is Middle East to Oz. Dahil 190 visa kami sir at sponsored ng South Aus required ba sir na ang point of entry dapat namin is SA? meron kasi relatives si misis sa Sydney pwede kaya dun muna kami at least for 2 weeks for sight seeing then travel to SA?

I think hindi naman kelangan sa SA ang entry. Anywhere in AU po ok na.

Hi! Mga kababayan! Nakakatuwa naman may ganto palang forum. My name is Rachel at mag one year na kame dito ng anak ko. May fb page ba ito? Sorry di ko alam kung saan ako mag co comment kaya dito na lang. Ask ko lang kung meron bang playgroup near sa kensington gardens na may mga filipino? O filipino na may baby na pwede makalaro ng anak ko. Naaawa kasi ako walang kalaro lalo na ngayon school holiday walang playgroup.

@ringo sir, thanks sir iclarify ko lang ulit sana sayu yung about CFO. Ang plan kasi namin ng family ko sa IED namin, whole family kami, that will be from Bahrain to Australia. Para lang masatisfy ng family yung IED bago magexpire. Then at later date, uwi muna yung bunso ko kasama yung Wife ko, tapos balik uli wife ko. Once nasatisfy ang IED, kelangan pa rin kay magattend ng PDOS at obtain ng CFO wife ko? thanks sir

@ruelcortez_BH - ang sabi ng CFO officer as long as from PH to AU ang travel .. hahanapan ka ng CFO sticker sa passport mo. Even if nanggaling kana sa AU. If wala ... pwede ka i-hold sa Philippine immigration.

Yes @ringo is correct. Para less hassle pag dating sa NAIA immigration, just attend CFO for the sticker. It is quite fast and as usual, nde mawawala ang processing fee.

pwede na palang mag-cfo seminar upon departure??... saan dun?...then okay na yun, with sticker na agad??
CFO seminar upon departure? Hmmm... Sounds very dodgy!! ahahaha...
@staycool@TasBurrfoot - i think they are referring sa mga pumunta na sa AU na hindi dumaan sa pinas..
so once na nag vacation ka sa pinas, pwede kana kumuha ng CFO upon departure.. hindi ito pwede sa mga mag iinitial entry na galing sa pinas..

FYI lng po for all. regardless kung ilang taon ka na sa abroad, basta immigrant na nag entry sa Pinas e kelangan umattend ng PDOS at dapat may CFO sticker sa passport. Pag wala kang sticker, pasensyahan na lng po pagdating sa airport. record po ung sticker para malaman nila na in case magkaproblema sa country na pupuntahan mo, alam nila kung ilan ang ililikas na Pinoy kung nde ka pa citizen sa bagong bansa mo.

For transport?
There is a lot of them here along Parramatta road ( if you are close to Sydney CBD )
Dont worry much normally pwede mong i test drive , pwede mo i check ang history at pwede mo patingnan sa mekaniko bago ka makabili .....
