Thanks guys for the responses. Paisa pa uli:

Sa mga madalas mag PAL, istrikto po ba sila sa luggage weight, especially sa carry-on? 23 kgs lang kasi yung checked baggage allowance at grabe kala ko sapat na yun eh yung 2 maleta pa lang (wala pang laman) parang 5 kilos each na kumusta naman.

) Yung carry-on baggage allowance is 7kgs. lang. #poor #economyclassproblems

Yes strikto sila sa 23kgs per bag .... pero sa carry ons no ... malas kung mapag tripan ka at ipa weigh sa iyo yung carry on ... 1 time lang po kami nag PAL

Sir @jcsantos, per bag po ba 23kgs? Ang intindi ko kasi is 23kgs combined total weight mapa-isa or 2 bags.

kremitz · February 2014

@moonwitchbleu yep, software engineer yung nominated occupation nya pero software tester talaga yung work nya hehe possible kaya na one year visa magrant kahit first time na mag apply for tourist visa?

JCsantos · February 2014

Sir @jcsantos, per bag po ba 23kgs? Ang intindi ko kasi is 23kgs combined total weight mapa-isa or 2 bags.

Ah yes, sorry inde ko masyado niliwanag

its 23kgs in 1 bag or combined

Ang solusyon lang naman jan e bring an extra empty bag .. pag sinabing sobra lipat lipat sa ibang bag para ma satisfy lang yung weight limit

moonwitchbleu · February 2014

@moonwitchbleu yep, software engineer yung nominated occupation nya pero software tester talaga yung work nya hehe possible kaya na one year visa magrant kahit first time na mag apply for tourist visa?

Ahhhh...dba iba ang JD ng software tester? buti same and JD ng COE nya sa JD ng immi.

Sabi nila if parent ng PR or citizen automatic naman daw 1 year ang i.grant na tourist visa so i.try namin mag apply pag nandoon na kami ni baby.

moonwitchbleu · February 2014

@moonwitchbleu - sis ako nlng mag-aalaga ng baby mo?

hahaha...pwde basta dapat libre lang

kremitz · February 2014

Yep, ako yung main applicant. hehehe...sana nga 1 year ang i.grant sa kanila. sabagay as long as pasok ang JD na nakalagay sa COE

kremitz · February 2014

Yep pwde cya as long as wala naman naka specify na condition sa visa grant notice mo. pero kami nanigurado before pumunta si hubby we emailed CO and tinanong talaga namin, kinonfirm naman nya na ok lng mauna secondary applicants.

kremitz · February 2014

@moonwitchbleu good to know din yan. Atleast may idea n yung iba n pwede pla mauna ang dependent

mitchy_cpa · February 2014

Kailangan pa rin ba ng CFO Sticker kahit nakapag-land ka na sa AU? Kasi we're thinking na dumerecho from Cayman to Au for landing then go back to Manila for few months bago finally magsettle sa AU. Do we still need to undergo PDOS? Or are we considered PR na kasi may tatak na ang passport namin?

lester_lugtu · March 2014

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.

peach17 · March 2014

@moonwitchbleu good to know din yan. Atleast may idea n yung iba n pwede pla mauna ang dependent

yes pwede na yan

parang last year yan na implement

wala na yung visa conditions na dapat mauuna muna ang Primary sa Secondary

moonwitchbleu · March 2014

@lester_lugtu parang may naka mention naman dito na ang PR lang need kumuha ng CFO since the seminar is for filipinos with immigrant visa naman. check mo na rin dito sa site nila just http://www.cfo.gov.ph/index.php

lester_lugtu · March 2014

@moonwitchbleu, salamat po. opo nabasa ko nga din. ganito lang siguro pakiramdam kapag malapit na, really just to make sure everything will be alright. salamat po.

moonwitchbleu · March 2014

things are gonna be fine, think positive nalang tayo.hehehe...ako nga eh hindi ko alam saan mag uumpisa nga preparations eh sa april 22 na kami pupunta.

lester_lugtu · March 2014

good luck sa inyo. sana maging okay ang lahat satin lahat...

@lester_lugtu

Kami visa 496 (Provisional Visa). Nagbayad ng CFO seminar, um-attend ng seminar. Pagkatapos ng seminar, kung kelan bigayan ng passport. Ayun sinabi, di kami needed mag-attend kasi nga di daw Permanent hehe. Sabi ko um-attend narin lang kami at nagbayad, lagyan na kami ng sticker but ni-refund nila para daw di magulo hehe.

Weird lang kasi ang seminar is about moving out and settling in. We'll move out of the country and settle in Australia for at least 3 years. Tapos gusto nila kung kelan actually permanent resident na, saka a-attend ng seminar na napagdaanan mo na: ano bawal dalhin, ano dapat kuning (TFN, Medicare, etc).

Sinama ko nlng ung PDOS form with their note na "refunded, not required to attend" sa flight tickets namin just in case hanapan bigla sa immigration. But sabi ng CFO, alam na daw sa immigration un. Let's see. We plan to be at the airport early baka mga 4hours cguro ahead of flight schedule para kung may issues man re CFO sticker. But sana wala.

The fact that you have the above would make it okey na...

Kung hahanapan ka talaga, ipakain mo yung note sa immigration official.

Spot check yes; but VERY random...

Kami binura namin mga pirated items namin when we entered Australia last year; not worth the hassle if ever ma tyempohan!!
