Well, my last STEP before I say "bye Pinas!". When I got my residence card the consulate reminds me to attend a seminar at CFO (Commission on Filipinos Overseas) to get the CFO CERTIFICATE and EMIGRANT STICKER on my passport (REQUIRED and its a must!!). They inform me that the immigration officer at the airport will check this document together with my visa before my departure so I need to secure and provide these documents.
I wanted to be ready with all the important documents so I apply for my schedule instantly hahaha because, I didn't want to experience being held for questioning on the day of my departure which is too much hassle or might get worst to be offloaded on my plane!.. which I don't want to happen on me lol 😃
For those who don't know what is CFO means, it stands for Commission on Filipino Overseas. As Filipinos going abroad as fiance/es, spouses or other partners of foreign national is required to attend Guidance and Counseling Program (GCP) in order to get the CERTIFICATE and CFO STICKER. Ibig sabihin pag ikaw ay may fiance or nakapag-asawa ng foreigner under ka dito.

When I attend this seminar seriously, I've learned a lot. This seminar is really helpful, especially to the first time emigrants like me. They show and tackle every aspect of having a foreigner husband/partners. They explains a bit of immigration process and many related topics about inter marriage, violence, rights, life abroad and culture and stuff.
Based on my experience on CFO its really easy provided that you have all your documents ready!!. Because nowadays, CFO has an ONLINE APPOINTMENT SYSTEM and they will not allowed walk-in applicants ;)
TO GET THERE: (feeling ko eto ang mas madaling way :D /PICTURE BELOW)
 |
| If lalakarin nyo sxa malapit lang from PNR Paco station :) |
Wala po kasing jeep na nadaan mismo sa tapat ng building nila unless meron kayong sariling sasakyan or magtataxi kayo hehe.
If sasakay po kayo ng PNR tren (PACO STATION ang baba nyo) from there pwede nyo na lakarin (tatawid lang po kayo sa kabilang kalsada na pa Quirino :) (sundan ang kulay dilaw na arrow)sobrang lapit lang nya. Yung kulay dilaw na star yun ang CFO Bldg. Kung titignan nyo malapit lang sxa kung lalakarin :) plus 10pesos lang pamasahe sa PNR tren hehe
If galing kayo sa Pedro Gil Taft sakay kayo ng jeep na papuntang San Andres, Sta Ana or Guadalupe-Ayala Makati pero bababa po kayo sa may Quirino ave. (sa may kantong kanto po) at lakarin nyo nalng (sundan ang kulay yellow na arrow)
Reserve and Register online to attend the Guidance and Counseling Program (GCP) in person. Choose your preferred office:
NO more FIRST-COME-FIRST-SERVE-BASIS. BUT!! even if you have already your schedule, you must arrive 1 hour earlier for the registration and picture taking. Marami ring tao ang nakaschedule kaya mabuti nang maaga ka sa pila ;)
NOTE* This Online Appointment System is applicable for Manila Office and CEBU office also. As of Dec 1, 2014, those who wish to attend the Guidance and Counseling Program at the CFO-Cebu extension office must set an appointment online too :).
- This is the site if you wish to apply in MANILA
Manila : GCP-Manila-Appointment/
- This is the site if you wish to apply in CEBU
Cebu : GCP-Cebu-Appointment/
- This is the site if you wish to apply in DAVAO
Davao : GCP-Davao-Appointment/
Also Slot is forfeited if you don't show up on set date of appointment. Reservation must be done again online!.
If you have your visa already, you will get your SEMINAR CERTIFICATE and EMIGRANT STICKER in just ONE DAY so easy! right?.
But, if you are still waiting for your visa or if it's still on process you will only get your seminar certificate and you'll need to go back again at the CFO Office to get your Emigrant sticker, only if you can show them your valid visa and the receipt. If wala pa kayong Visa pwede nyo namang kuhanin ang Emigrant Sticker nyo sa Airport na lang kung paalis na kayo ng Pilipinas ( pero kung ako sa inyo balikan nyo nalng sa CFO office yung Emigrant Sticker nyo once nakuha nyo na ang visa nyo para hindi na maging hassle pa kung sa araw ng alis nyo ito kukunin, mabuti nang maging handa kesa magkaproblema pa).
ON-SITE or WITH FACE TO FACE TRANSACTION (R&R)
All Filipinos going abroad as spouses, fiancé(e)s and other partners of foreign nationals, former Filipino citizens or dual citizens are required to undergo the mandatory Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) Guidance and Counseling Program (GCP) in order to secure the CFO Digital Certificate. It specifically provides a venue where they can express and discuss their particular concerns about migration and various areas in their relationships such as communication barrier, financial management, personality and cultural differences, sexual relationship, among others.
Clients are expected to make a reservation and registration online to receive a barcoded form which will indicate the appointment time, date, location of the office and other necessary information about their visit to CFO.
👉 What are the requirements? (update 2023)
The following are the GCP primary requirements:
1. Barcoded Confirmation form of GCP Appointment
2. Original valid passport and additional two (2) valid IDs;
3. Original valid visa and Confirmation of Permanent Residence (for Canada-bound only);
4. Petitioner’s passport copy or one (1) valid ID; and
5. Philippine Statistics Authority(PSA) Marriage certificate in security paper (if married in the Philippines);
6. Report of Marriage in Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) security paper (if married overseas)
Since there is a one on one interview with the counselor just make sure that you bring all your documents and be armed with it hehe 😉. Make sure also to completely filled out the forms and be confident with your answers. (Make sure you know your HUSBAND MOTHER'S MAIDEN NAME, HIS WORK, HIS EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT and so on so fort!). Don't leave any blank on the form and complete all the documents. They may ask you for a lot of things and they only wanted to make sure that you are physically and emotionally prepared on moving-on on your new life. Don't be nervous as its not complicated interview just like the one we did when we are applying for our visa 🙊 its so easy.
Additional documents may be required in the event that the counselor / facilitator determines it to be essential to complete the guidance and counseling process. It is advised for all the GCP applicants to prepare the following documents in advance (if applicable to them):
● Divorce decree/certificate of Filipino spouse or foreign spouse (if previously married)
● Annulment papers of Filipino spouse or foreign spouse (if previously married)
● Proof of residency/Alien Registration Card-ARC of foreign spouse
● Proof of relationship (pictures together, e-mails, among others)
● Death certificate of Filipino spouse or foreign spouse (if widowed)
● Certificate of family relations / registration of foreign spouse
● Proof of Civil status or Certificate of No Marriage (CENOMAR)
● Valid no criminal records certification/clearance or any equivalent document to indicate lack of criminal/derogatory record
●Documents in foreign language must be officially translated to English
The CFO Seminar comes first and after completing it, you will get your CERTIFICATE AND RECEIPT. You will to pay Php 400 at the GF area sticker and Certificate. If you don't have your visa just save your receipt and show them when you get back for your EMIGRANT STICKER.
This is how Emigrant Sticker looks like and they will put it on to your passport and please before you leave the CFO office make sure na tama yung details na nakalagay sa sticker at sa certificate nyo baka sa sobrang excited nyo eh hindi nyo na tinignan at nagmadali na kayo umuwi. If ever na may mali sa spelling ng pangalan nyo just inform them agad agad.)
REMINDER: Ang Guidance and Counseling Certificate po natin ay for life na siya/ walang expiration date kaya huwag nyo po siyang IWAWALA at HUWAG na HUWAG ninyo po itong ila-laminate or plastic covered when presenting to CFO, DFA, BI sa airport or other relevant agencies (May selyo/SEAL po kasi ito kaya yun po ang i-chcheck nila).

Hope it helps! 🤗 if you have questions I'll do my best to answer you back or just email me. I just want to share, help and give ideas because, someone might just out there looking/searching about it!. PLEASE! Just don't ask me complicated questions po hahaha.
Goodluck!!!!

whats the difference between GCP and PDOS? If i would attend for GCP should i also attend for PDOS? Im so confused of these seminars. thanks
ReplyDeleteDifference between the two. GCP is for spouses and fiancees po (seminar po yan.. makakauha ka ng certificate) if you have your visa or residence visa makukuha mo kagad yung CFO sticker mo...PDOS is simply for Filipino emigrants..same lang po yon na seminar.... If mag g-GCP yon nari po yun...wag ka na maconfused ;)
DeleteMagtatanung Lang Sana aku tungkol Sa gcp requirements na other documents. Okay Lang po BA kung ang picture namin ay Hindi Sa kasal?
ReplyDeleteOk lang namn po bsta magkasama kayo sa picture... kasi minsan they will ask you kung nameet mo na ba sxa pesonally or nakasama mo na personally.. depende sa ittnong sau at hahanapin na docs.. if hanapan ka ng patunay pakita mo picture if hindi hanapin okey lang din namn ... (better na dalhin mo na rin ;) para safe hehehe)
DeleteSalamat po. May Isa pang tanung kasal na kami Sa husband Ku pero 19 yrs.old palang aku. Baka maghanap pa cla Ng parent consent.
ReplyDeleteNo worries kung kasal ka na kasi ibig sabihin nun nasa legal age kana po tska hindi nila yung hahanapin siguro ;) .. tsaka kung ano primary na requirement na kailangan yun lang namn ang kailangan other than that eh wala na... (other documents eh baka lang hanapin na better dala hehe) kung kompeto at wala kang problem sa documents mo wag ka kabahan :) goodluck sis kaya yan..
DeleteHi Ms. Michelle. Thanks for sharing your experience :) Tanong ko lang kung required ba nila and English version ng birth certificate? Kasi yung fiance ko Nepalese sya, yung birth certificate nya eh nakasulat in Nepali.
ReplyDeletehindi namn po nila kelangan ang birth certificate ni bf ate :) yung primary na requirements lang po... pero ok lang namn na dalhin mo nalng din yang birct cert nya [lahat ng documents nyo na meron ka ;) ] kahit hindi english kasi wala naman sila magagawa kung yun ang nakasulat lol... if hanapan ka pakita mo nalng po yan :) thanks po
DeleteMay nabasa ko po kasi sa isang forum na may nagdala ng birth certificate so kala ko required..Pero dadalhin ko na din para sure :)
ReplyDeleteMay tanong pa ako.hehe Sa day ba ng departure, magtatanong pa ba ng kung anek anek ang immigration? Aside from CFO/ PDOS certificate + sticker at passport syempre, Aside sa basic requirements may hahanapin pa ba sila? Dyahe kasi ma offload :)
Yup better bring all your documents on hand.. :) ako nga dati dala ko din mga papers nung asawa ko.. bast lahat ng nasa form sagutan mo wag ka mag iwan ng blanko.. lahat even landline.. if wala ka landline sa bahay isulat mo kahit landline ng kapitbahay mo na kakilala ka.. ;)
DeleteAbout sa airport.. if lahat complete wala sila masyadong tanong tanong..yung tiket, visa/residence visa, passport, yung cfo certificate at sticker sa passport mo ay kompleto no worries... ;)
Wala nang tanong sakin.. nilagy ko kasi sa departure card is return residence .. kasi yun namn talga ang reason ko dahil residence visa ang dala ko.. tapos ayun check lang yung papel..
Bsta mahalaga eh may cfo certificate ka at sticker.. yun kasi ang tinitignan nila.. maooffload ka if wala kang cfo stiker or certificate ;) if meron... wag ka kabahan
DeleteKaramihan ng mga ooffload is tourist visa at kulang kulang sa document,nagkakatalo if walang maipakitang financial proof... if residence visa ka.. at meron ka cfo cert at sticker walang problem.. bsta dalhin mo rin mga documents na meron ka ;) thanks sana nakatulong ako :)
Thank you very much, Ms. Michelle :) God Bless po :)
DeleteHi Michelle, salamat sa pagpost nito dahil clueless ako sa procedure. So it means kapag umattend ako ng GCP, kahit Di na umattend ng PDOS? Nakakalito kasi yung instructions sa CFO website parang parehas eh required.
ReplyDeletePakiconfirm naman na GCP lang ang attendan ko for fiance visa. Thanks po and God bless
yup same lang po yun :) na seminar for Fiancé(e)’s, Spouses, and Partners. Pag punta mo don tatanungin ka namn kung ano ang visa mo...
Deletepag ang visa mo eh under Fiancé(e)’s, Spouses, and Partners/residenc - EMIGRANT sticker and GCP Certificate ang kelangan mo :) sana nakatulong ako wag ka na malito :)
Gud pm po... paano po kung nagkamali ang sticker na inilagay ng cfo manila sa passport....immigrants to u.s. kasi ung nephew ko pero canada ung nailagay nila...kailangan po bang ipaayos uli ito or makakahadlang ba ito para makaalis ng bansa ung nephew ko na 19 yrs old lang....
ReplyDeleteI think dapat pinacheck nyo pu yan bago kayo umalis sa CFO office kasi if mali papalitan naman nila yan.. di ko lang alam kung may babayaran kung magkano... kasi baka ma-question naman yung pinsan nyo sa imigration sa airport at mahold dahil sa maling CFO sticker...mahirap na.. (sobrang higpit pa naman sa airport payo ko lang po). kung hindi pa naman sxa aalis better to go back again sa CFO or tawagan sila to inquire po about dyan
DeleteHi, I'm a Filipino citizen married to a Canadian national for almost 2 years now and we're still waiting for my PR visa to get me to Canada. My husband and I are planning to go on a tour to Singapore this summer. I obtained my CFO guidance and counselling certificate prior to my passport application (which reads "Valid for travel to Canada" btw, idk if this will be an issue since our destination is Singapore?) and I've read that the CFO sticker is only required if you're immigrating to your husband's country, i wouldn't be needing the CFO sticker when we travel to Singapore would I? :) Also, I am currently unemployed and I've read a lot of a stories about passengers getting offloaded because they're unemployed, what are my chances of getting offloaded when I'm travelling with my husband? I look forward to reading your reply or from anyone here who went through the same ordeal, thanks in advance!! :)
ReplyDeleteyup ate hindi nyo po kelangan ng CFO sticker papuntang Singapore kasi pupunta lang namn po kau dun as a tourist/tour/vacation so hindi po nila kayo qquestionin (bsata sa departure card po namn may nakalagay naman po kung ano purpose of travel so if travel/pleasue/tour lang namn hindi ka nila hahanapan ng CFO sticker unless sa Canada na ang punta mo po ;)
Deleteabout naman na unemployed ka eh wala namn masama basta meron kang means financially na maipakita sa kanila (pocket money/hotel reservation/travel itinerary/ return ticket/credit card etc wag ka kabahan dun lang namn sila mabusisi :) dahil sinisiguro nilang vacation nga lang taga pakay mo at hindi ang maghanap ng trabaho abroad ;) minsan kaya naooffload kasi walang mapakitang finacial statement or mas malala if kasalukuyan kang may work sobrang dami nila tanong) if kasama u asawa mo po na Canadian mas lalong hindi ka na tatanungin ;) minsan tsamba nalng na mapunta ka sa mabusisi or sa hindi mabusising imigration officer ;)
BTW ako nga unemployed nung nagpunta ako sa Bangkok para lang sa biometric process ko for my residence card muntikan na ako maoffload dahil nga wala ako mapakitang bank statement / tapos di pa ganon kalaki pocket money ko plus kasama ko pa yung family ko mother/sister/pamagkin/at isang friend (complete with returned ticket, travel itinerary, hotel reservation lahat) nahold kami but then... yung second officer na nagcheck samin mabait (thanks GOD) nakahabol kami sa flight namin.. siguro nga tsambahan nalang sa magchcheck sayo :) pero wag ka kabahan!
hi Michelle!
ReplyDeleteGreat post!.. Tanong lang sana ako about the requirements for the GCP. Papayagan ka ba nila mag seminar if yung marriage certificate na hawak ko is from abroad? Hindi pa kasi namin na register ung marriage with NSO and honestly hindi ko alam until nabasa ko requirements for this GCP. Strict ba sila sa ganun? Or they would allow me basta I have any other proofs na married kame? May visa na kase ako eh and I would not want to be delayed just because of this seminar. Thanks!
hello ;) ask ko lang po :
Delete1. Sa abroad ka kinasal diba?
2. Diba irereport mo dapat yung kasal mo sa Philippine embassy after ng kasal.
3. If nai-report nyo? ok lang kahit yun ang ipakita mo.
Kasi if wala ka pang NSO Marriage contract pwede mo ipakita yung ORIGINAL REPORT OF MARRIAGE nyo from Phil. Embassy. (pag meron kang report of marriage from embassy ibig sabihin on-process na yung marrige record nyo from Phil embassy-to-DFA-to-NSO kaya ok lang kahit sabihin mo na wala ka pang NSO Marriage contract at ipresent mo yung repeort of marriage mo instead of NSO Marriage contract.. [waah magulo ba??] nakalagay kasi sa site nila :
IF MARRIED: certified true copy and photocopy of marriage contract on security paper from the National Statistics Office,
OR Local Civil Registry Offices;
OR original and photocopy of marriage contract (report of Marriage) duly authenticated by the Philippine Embassy
/Consulate (if married abroad)
hahahahaha di ko kasi sure if okey walng NSO Marriage certificate/ or kung okey lang na yung Marriage contract nyo from abroad. Yung sakin kasi inantay ko talga na marelease yung NSO Maarige contract ko.. kinulit kulit tawagan ng asawa ko yung DFA para lang malaman if nasa NSO na yung marriage contract.
naku magulo ba? better call the cfo office para malaman kung pwede kasi di ko rin po sure.. :) basta yung alam ko is that kahit yung report of marriage.... ;)
thanks again Michelle for your reply. Anyways, I completed my GCP seminar and got my CFO sticker today and fortunately, hinde sila naging strict about the NSO authenticated marriage cert. Binanggit parin nila yung about NSO but I said its not available (since hinde ko nga na register ung marriage abroad) and provided my other marriage cert. and other requirements. Now I'm relieved :) I just have to comply with the Report of Marriage some other time. Thanks again!
Delete:) galing good for you sis!! madali lang talga yan isang araw kayang matapos basta complete docs ;)
Delete*para sa sa kaalaman ng iba.. pwede i present yung marriage contract from abroad... kung walang NSO marriage contract... bsta hindi pa to naireregister ;) and dapat complete with other documents..
Thanks sa dagdag info.. ;)

Hi good evening, do you have other link for online appointment? Kasi nageerror server parate kapag tapos ko ng ilagay yung captcha. Thank you 😊
Deletehttp://gcp-appointment.cfo.gov.ph/
DeleteHi good day ask ko lng po if annulled and remarry a foreigner what process napo ung gagawin sa cfo pag kukuha kelangan ng gcp para sa ibang bansa
ReplyDeleteSame parin namn po ang process ang pinagkaiba lang po eh yung additional document na need nila po :)
DeleteApplicable also to bring these:
Fiancé(e)'s/ Spouse's Birth certificate copy.
Annulment/Divorce Decrees of previously married.
Death certificate of ex-spouses of previously married.
Photos of you and your Fiancé(e)' or Spouse
hello po...mag.renew po ako ng passport ko gamit na apelyedo ng asawa ko, who is Russian. Kailangan ko pa rin ba mag.attend ng seminar? Ok ba kahit walang visa? On processes pa kasi ung petition ko. Salamat
ReplyDelete*If nagrenew ka ng passport mo gamit na apelyido ng asawa mo YUP NEED MO parin mag CFO seminar dahil requirements po sxa once paalis ka na ng pilipinas. Sa immigration sa airport hahanapin sayo ang CFO CERTIFICATE mo at yung EMIGRANT STICKER sa passport mo. Bago ka magseminar requirements yung passport kaya unahin mo muna magrenew bago ka magseminar po.
Deletewhat you mean po sa ok kahit walang visa? ( ibig nyo po bang sabihin kung ok lang MAGSEMINAR KAHIT WALA PA VISA?)
* YUP pwede po kayo umatend ng seminar kahit wala pa sa inyo yung visa/on process na (makukuha nyo lang po is yung certificate at
babalikan nyo po yung sticker na ilalagay sa passport nyo once meron na kayong VISA kasi ipapakita nyo po iyon dun :))

Hello po, halos kaparehas kami mg situation ni ate na almost 2 years na kasal sa kantang canadian citizen. Kaso lng Hong Kong amg destinatiom namin. Tas fiance ko lng siya. Ako ang nagbook ng ticket dito sa Pilipinas gamit ang pera niya tas pati na rin sa hotel booking is under my name. Mayroon na po akong round trip ticket at affidavit of support from him and some documents po na needed pa . Iyon nga lng wala akong CFO. Kailangan ko po bang kumuha? Two weeks nlng po bibiyahe na ako . Tumigil muna kami sa pag apply ng visa para Canada kasi two times na akong narefused. Wala po akong trabaho pero may anak. Sa narinig ko CFO is a must. Pano po yan, kukuha nlng ba ako? Kahit na nakalagay sa departure card na for pleasure and holiday lng, tas fiance ko ka meet. Baka hihingian nila ako kahit hindi Canada ang destination ko. Ano sa tingin niyo po? Sana may kaparehas ng sitwasyon ko na makapagbibigay sa akin ng tulong. Please po.
ReplyDeleteThanks
kelangan nyo lang po ang cfo certificate at sticker ay kung magmimigrate ka na sa asawa mo po sa canada ;) .. kung ang punta mo namn po eh para lang magbakasyon/trip sa ibang bansa (hongkon) eh hindi namn po nila hahanpin yun unless sa canada ka na talga pupunta (meaning du ka na titira/may residence visa ka na)... tska pag balak mo kumuha ka ng CFO eh pwede naman ... certificate lang makukuha mo.. tska dapat eh on process na ang VISA application mo for Canada (sa asawa mo) kasi babalik ka for your sticker if meron ka na candian visa.
DeletePero since ang alis mo nga eh tourist lang sa hongkong ... di namn kelangn po
Sorry ngayun lng ako nakareply. Maraming maraming Salamat po ate Michelle.. naiintindihan ko na at tsaka yan naman talaga ang intindi namin about sa CFO. Dami mga lnh mga links na nakakapaglilito sa akin. Sa visa ko naman ate, kailangan lng naming maghanda ng mga documents(like marriage certificate) para maiwasan na namin ang marefused. Balak ko sanang pumunta ngayong araw sa CFO -CEBU pra magtanong pero dahil nakuha ko na ang sagot sayo ate. Maraming Salamat po.
ReplyDeleteabout applying for your visa eh depende sa Embassy yan kung anong proseso nila at kung ano ang requirements na kailangan nila po like sabi mo nga sa Canada yung asawa mo ;) (Yung mga links na nakikita mo at nababasa mo eh based sa kung anong experience at additional information lang na mai-share ng iba /just to give you an idea.) MagStick ka lang sa site ng CFO at site ng Embassy mo kung ano kelangan nila (andun naman lahat step by step at kung anong updates).
DeleteYung CFO need mo talaga yan once mag migrate ka na sa asawa mo.. sasabihin naman sayo yan ;)
Tama nga po kayo . Depende po talaga sa kung anung embassy ang mga requirements na kailangan ko. Tungkol naman po sa CFO kumuha nalng po ako ng appointment para maka attend sa seminar kaso nga lng the day before my flight . Sana makuha ko ang ceritificate ng araw na iyon. Tanong ko lng po sana if ano ba ang mga other documents needed para sa pagcomply ng certificate. Meron na po akong, birth cert. ng fiance ko, passport copy, divorce decree, pati stamped ng passport niya at affidavit of legal capacity to marry. May kulang Pa ba? Dapat po bang english? Pano kung french lng?Ok na ba yon? Tanung ko din po if ano ano ang mga tanung na nasa councelling form na dapat i filled up ng maigi? I am hoping po kasi na magiging madali para sa akin amg pagkuha ng GCP kasi pagkatapos aalis na ako maaga papuntang airport. First time traveller po pala ako at unemployed kaya takot po akong maoffload..
DeleteMabilis lang po yun ;) ang seminar ilang oras lang namn tapos manunuod lang kayo ng VTR tapos interview nung couselor isa-isa tapos share ng mga experience...Sa seminar makukuha mo kagad yung certificate pagtapos at kung may visa ka na kagad na maipakita sa kanila (sa bansa ng asawa mo ha) makukuha mo kagad din yung sticker that day ;)
DeleteBasta completo mo yung documents mo mabilis lang yan .. i photocopy mo na at para di ka mahassel ;) yung application form na fifill -up -an mo doon need mo sagutan lahat ha.. wag ka mag iwan ng blanko... sasabihin namn nila yun dun kasi pagpasa mo i-ccheck nila if merong hindi ka nasagutan.. ;)
About namn sa first time na alis mo wag ka kabahan kahit na unempleyed ka... pakita mo lang travel itenery , hotel reservation, financial proof... etc.. pag tinanong ka magkano pocket money mo sabihin mo... (sakin kaya tinanong yon!..hahaha) ewan ko ba.. haha madali lang yan ;)

Thank you Michelle sa info. One more question if ok lang hehhehe..Sa pagset ng appointment online sa CFO they ask the spouse citizenship. Kung ano ang Citizenship ng asawa ko yun din ba issulat na country sa sticker at certificate??
DeleteYup po... hindi ko lang sure kung pano pag dual-citizen sxa.... kasi magkaibang bansa namn yun..I really don’t have a concrete answer to your question po :P hahaha basta ang alam ko lang is that kung saan ka mag-mimigrate (sa asawa mo if yun ang dapat nakalagay sa Certificate and Emigrant sticker mo ;) . But to be sure, please call CFO kasi baka mali ako ng paka kakaintidindi ;). Thanks and God bless!
DeleteOk thank you..will try to call CFO. Medyo naguguluhan pa ako kasi asawa ko hindi US citizen pero don na siya nakatira at don ako mag-immigrate.
DeleteOk give us update din po about that.. hehe thanks.. (di ko rin kasi alam if ganyang senario)
DeleteDi ko matawagan ang CFO..palaging error. I still don't have any idea about this situation:-( sana someone will update..
Deleteif my schedule ka na sa seminar wag ka na mag worry kasi alam naman nila yun dun... ;)
Deletehello po. fiance visa po hawak ko, diretso naba ako sa main office ng cfo? or magseseminar ako sa prism muna or sa quezon city bago ko makuha ung cfo sticker at certificate ko sa office nila?
ReplyDeleteyup... sa main office ng CFO po sa may Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) Citigold Center 1345 Pres. Quirino Avenue corner Osmeña Highway (South Superhighway) Manila, Philippines 1007D
ReplyDeleteDun po kasi ako ng seminar at dun ko rin po nakuha yung certificate..(kung ako sayo dun ka nalng sa main office sa manila para isahang lakad ka lang kasi ang seminar mabilis lang ... so kung matapos mo yung seminar mo madali mo na makuha yung sticker mo [kung may visa kana] Not sure kasi sa pano kung sa PRISM ka mag seminar.
Hello po ask lang po Indian national po husband ko pero sa UAE sya nakabase. May UAE residence visa po ako at naka schedule magseminar this week. Napansin ko po kasi nakaindicate sa sticker at certificate ang country?
ReplyDeleteIm not sure kasi sa ganyanG senario.. pero residence visa ng UAE hawak mo so meaning dun ka mag mimigrate at dun ka na for good.. (kasi magkaibang bansa namn yung india sa UAE) if ilalagay nila eh ibang bansa sa kjng anong hawak mo baka maquestion ka sa airport kasi iba yung nakalagay sa certificate mo at sa sticker mo..
DeleteTska pag punta mo namn sa CFO alam na nila yon.. ;)
Same kami ng case:-) Sana mag-update siya after her seminar.:-)
Deletethank you so much for the information...very helpful! God bless :)

ReplyDeleteHello po. Your blog is really helpful while processing my application for residence permit to Sweden. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteApproved na yun application ko last Friday and next ay dapat punta na ako ng Bangkok for the biometrics. Kaso po, ayaw akong i-clear ng OB ko for travel at the moment kasi nagkaprob pagbubuntis ko. Bed rest muna ako for now and we are expecting makakabyahe ako to Sweden by July. I heard sa special cases like mine lalo na ayaw namin maabutan ako 8 months preggy dito sa Pinas, may option to skip yun biometrics sa Bangkok. Instead, pwede daw ako mag-apply ng D Visa to Sweden tapos sa Stockholm na kukunin yun biometrics ko and residence permit card when I get there.
Ang tanong ko lang po, may idea ka po ba if mabibigyan pa rin ng CFO sticker kung D Visa lang or talagang dapat residence permit card ipapakita?
Thank you.
- Gisselle
That is a good news :) im happy for you sis! Välkommen till Sverige :) hope ma meet din kita :).
Deleteabout sa tanong mo namn sis I'm sure pwede ka na magseminar beside you already have a visa naman na po... kaya im sure ok na magseminar at bibigyan ka talga nyan (wala sila magagawa i think ;) hehe) better call CFO office nalng to clarify ... di ko din kasi sure kung pano kung hawak eh D visa .. (1 yr valid yun diba) kung ang payo naman sayo sa consulada eh dito ka na magpabiometric pwede namn po talag yun (rare case to case talga) kaya siguro pinag aaply ka ng D visa for meantime.
ask ko lang? If magaapply ka ng D visa another payment nanaman ba ulit yon? if makukuha mo rin ba kagad yun ng isang araw na applyan lang? (curious ako) ano sabi ng consulate? natanong mo din ba? ... if seminar im sure makukuha mo kagad yun .. not sure lang about the sticker... sis :(
Hello ate! Medj depressed ako kasi naoffload ako kanina kasi I have no CFO sticker nga sa passport. So mom said na ayusin ko na lang daw muna yung CFO na yun then rebook na kang oagnakakuha na. Going to new york pala, Im 18 years old and would travel alone. Ano po ba yung requirement na dadalhin ko? And also, magrebook na po ba muna ako then seminar sa CFO, orseminar then rebook?

Hello thanks for the info. very helful. but i have some questions, kasal kasi ako sa korean citizen na nakatira sa luxembourg(my destination).
ReplyDelete1. Korean sticker po ba ang kailangan ko?
2. hahanapan kaya nila ako ng bank statements kasi unemployed ako, and husband ko ang mag support saken.
3. yung invitation letter na galing asawa ko(from luxembourg), yun lang po ba ang isusubmit ko sa embassy for visa? (hndi sya related sa CFO sorry hehe) kasi nung tinanong nya ung immigration, since sa sa immigration na nmin pinasa ung requirements eh invitation nlng daw ung ipapasa nmin sa embassy, but feeling ko one of requirements lang yung invitation letter. sobrang nalilito kami hehe. Thank you in advance
hello :) thanks
Delete1) I dont have any idea po about sa ganyang senario if korean then s aibang destination nakatira :( ako din po kasi nalilito about sa ganung situation) Ano po ba ang visa mo? dahil as you've said nakapag asawa ka ng korean so need mo talga ang ( CFO Certificate and Emigrant sticker)
2) sa imigration po minsan hinde namin nila hinahanap minsan oo depende kasi sa officer eh like me support namn ng asawa ko at residence visa hawak ko so no need pa ng bank statement lalo na kung asawa mo namn yung pupunahan mo ;) (sometimes bank statement ng asawa mo)
3) about namn po sa pag apply ng visa (meaning hindi ka pa nakakapag apply?) Hindi ko po kasi sure kung ano requirement na kailangan ng embassy nyo nyo *iba-iba kasi ang requirements depende sa embassy :( check mo po yung site ng embassy mo para malaman mo what requirements nila.. at process :)
Thanks po sa answer. yup hndi pa ko nkakapagapply ng visa. pwede na kaya ako magseminar khit hndi pa nakakapagapply?
Deleteyup as long as on process na po yung visa mo... pwede ka na magCFo pero certificate lang makukuha mo at need mo balikan yung sticker nce meron ka nang visa na maipakita sa kanila. ;)
DeleteHi Michelle tanong ko lang makukuha ba the same day yung certificate at sticker? At ano naman ang mga tinanong nila sa counselling?
ReplyDeleteyup makukuha mo po kagad yung sticker at certificate ... basta kompleto ka sa requirement at MAY VISA ka na po na maipakita sa kanila SEMINAR first then yung sticker after.. (one day tapos mo yan ) yung about sa itatanong sayo .. depende kasi kung ao itanong eh like about sa iyo at sa kanya lang namn ang itatanong. :)
DeleteHi Michelle... Hindi ko kc alam na by appointment pala ang counselling na yun kaya babalik pa siya ulit. Kailangan ng husband ko makuha yun kc may ticket na siya. Yeah meron na siyang Visa. Hopefully mtapos agad yung counselling at walang maging hassle kc worried na ako. Thank you again Michelle.
ReplyDeleteyup ate online na po sila ngayon to get a schedule kaya hindi na ganun kahirap gaya dati.... sana po pala nabasa nyo na itong blog ko before para nagka idea na si hubby dati... anyway mabilis lang namn po yun *no worry :) (sabihan nyo po si hubby nyo na i check mabuti yung mga nakalagay sa sticker at sa certificate na tama lahat ng information, country, name...etc! wag sxa aalis sa office ng hindi ayos kung may mali at baka magkaproblem pa goodluck po!)
DeleteCge Michelle sasabhin ko sa kanya na icheck niyang mabuti. Sana nga nakita ko agad itong blog mo para nagka idea man lang ako. Anyways thank you for your help. God bless you and your family.

ReplyDeleteyup pwede namn na ikaw nalng kasi exempted namn sila :) just bring the necessary requirements needed po para hindi ka narin mahassel pa...don't forget pati passport nung anak mo dalhin mo narin .. I think need nila eh sticker lang for their passport :)
DeleteNote: After satisfactory completion of the requirements, an emigrant registration sticker is affixed to the emigrant's passport

ReplyDeleteHello Michelle..
ReplyDeleteThis blog is very helpful. Sa mga katulad namin na first timer at nagugulumihanan.
Pwede ko din ipresent ang ticket ko? I am leaving on july 3 and my seminar is on june 30.
Same day din ba makukuha ang cert and sticker
yup makukuha mo kagad yung seminar certificate pagkatapos ng seminar at kung may visa ka narin makukuha mo rin yun that day pero kung wala kang visa babalikan mo yung sticker ulit once meron ka nang visa na mapakita sa kanila..
Deleteyung iba naman na ayaw na bumalik sa cfo eh at sa airport na nila kinukuha yung emigrant sticker meaning sa araw nang alis nila. pero medjo hassel pa yun diba hehehe
Hi Michelle
ReplyDeleteThanks for your response. Yes i do have my visa na with me.
Ilan hours tumagal ang counselling? :)
Maghapon ba ang aabutin sa cfo office?
Thanks
James
mabilis lang ang seminar .. :) i think matagal na ang 5 oras hahaa depende kasi nagkakatalo pag kukuhanin na yung certificate at sticker .. may pila ;) hahaha pero matatapos mo namn yun in one day... minsan maghapon lalo na kung madaming tao
DeleteTIP KO LNG : make sure na tama lahat ng nakalagay sa certificate mo at sticker :) check it first bago ka umuwi ng bahay mo na walang maling spelling or date... baka kasi sa sobrang excited mo eh hindi mo na ncheck.. (magkaproblem ka pa ng malaki) other than that eh wala na hehehe ENJOY YOUR TRIP :)
Hi Michelle. This blog is great. BTW, i wanna make somthin clear about this CFO. The sticker is only for emigrant, right? so if the Filipino partner/fiance/fiancee is just going to travel in hi/her country, he/she just need to secure CFO. just CFO. is it right? has anyone mentioned this during the seminar?Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYup they need that CfO Seminar once magtttravel ka sa BF/Asawa mo (lalo na kung foreign nationality)... if filipino partner/fiance/fiancee ka under ka dito pero kung EMIGRANT VISA ka then need mo di ng sticker mo...tska included po talaga ang sticker dyan.. dahil EMIGRANT ka na rin once Migrate ka na sa asawa mo.. NOT unless ayaw mo tumira sa bansa ng asawa mo hahaha at sa imigration sa airport hahanapin po yan both sticker at certificate ... YUP sa seminar ittackle lahat yan at sasabihin lahat lahat nung guidance conselor kaya mauuna muna ang SEMINAR

DeleteHello po

Nabanggit ata ng Counselor to sa Seminar pero di ko lng po Malala kasi Puyat at pagod ako that time nung nag coconduct ng Seminar Hehe
Salamat po sa mga Sagot kung may naka Experience man
Salamat po
naku po i have no idea po.. pag dating sa ganyan :( better call and inquire nalng po sa kanila ulit bago ka pumunta... i think zerox copy lang namn ata need nila pero dapat dala mo yung documents..
DeleteHello Michelle,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your experience with the CFO. Nagkaroon ako ng idea. Simple question, sa current listed reqs for CFO nakalist yong duly accomplished registration form. I think this is the link to it - http://www.cfo.gov.ph/pdf/downloadable%20forms/registrationform.pdf
Kailangan ba completed ko na yan at naprint out ko na before going there or doon mismo sa office nagbibigay sila ng ganyang form? When I tried to fill out the form onlline, yong mga fields that require number data kasi bumabalik lang sa zero. So kung ieenter ko yong Birthdate ko 0 lang pagsisave na yong doc. Do you have any idea about it? Or pwedi ring iprint out and then fill out (handwritten)?
Thanks,
Regina
Yup... need nga yang form na yan.. hindi ko na nailagay yung link kasi pag punta mo namn doon eh bibigyan ka rin ng form na yan.. nagprint din ako nyan dati.. pero nagfill up nalng ako doon hahaha just to make sure ulit na walang mali hahaha. :D
DeleteYup pwede mo namn na idownload yan at sagutan mo nalang after mo maprint out kasi para sure na walang maling info.. :)

goodday,,, ask ko lang po kung kapag po ba ako kumuha ulit ng bagong seminar e yung ngiinterview pa rin po ba sken ang mgsseminer or bago na?
ReplyDeletei dont know if the same parin po yung mag iinterview kasi madami po sila don at iba ibang country kaya di ko lang po sure... tska diba pagkakaalam ko eh ...isang beses lang ang seminar?.... naiwala mo ba yung certificate mo? .. not so sure about kasi dyan na pwede ulit kumuha...
DeleteHi po! Nire-require po kasi sakin ng DFA ang CFO Certificate para makapag-apply ng passport, first time ko po kasi kukuha ng passport ko.. tanong ko lang po sana kung ano yung "other documents" na posibleng hanapin sakin sa CFO? Ayoko na po kasi sana pabalik-balik kasi hindi po ako taga-Manila and hassle po pag hindi ko matapos ito. I will be having my seminar po on Aug. 7.. Sana po masagot nyo. Salamat po.
ReplyDeletewhat first! ..time mo kukuha ng passport at kailangan mo ng CFO alam ko pag first time ka kukuha hindi naman kailangan ng CFO certficate unless ibang apelyido na ng asawa mo gagamitin mo (which is foreign nationals)? Ibang apelyido na ba gagamitin mo sa passport mo?
DeleteDepende po kasi yung other documents na yan sa case nyo po sa manila may one on one interview with the councelor and sxa ang naghahanap ng other douments na yan (which is better lang na dala) Lahat ng requirement na kailangan nila na nakalagay po sa site nila yun lang ang primary na kailangan nila talaga..(yet kung minsan pag complicated ang case mo like for example ..nakasal ka dati at meron ka nang asawa before/ meron ka na anak/ meron sxa anak...meron siya asawa dati yung bago mong asawa ngayon/ divorce siya or divorce ikaw. annuled ka or siya... dun lang naman minsan hinahanapan ng ibang documents related sa mga issue na sinabi ko )
kaya nga nilagay ko na yung APPLICABLE ALSO TO BRING THESE :)
Fiancé(e)'s/ Spouse's Birth certificate copy.
Annulment/Divorce Decrees of previously married.
Death certificate of ex-spouses of previously married.
Photos of you and your Fiancé(e)' or Spouse
most of that is related sa issue na sinabi ko... counseling siya kay medjo mahahalungkat ang buhay mo hahaha at natural titignan nila yung documents mo... if totoo sinsabi mo/ YUP MERON NAHOHOLD dun at hindi natatapos ng isang araw lang... kaya if meron ka namn documents na maipakita better dala diba :) IF wala ka namang issue na ganyan sa lahat ng sinabi ko eh wag ka na mamoblema yung primary tska minsan sa one on one with the counselor depende kung ano itanong nya sayo at hanapin na docsumets other than that eh... wala na... Hope na explain ko hahaha
former Filipino citizen po kasi asawa ko pero Canadian citizen na po sya, i went to DFA nung July 22 po kaso ayun po sabi nung babae is required ako kumuha ng CFO certificate para makapag-apply ng passport and yes po gagamitin ko po yung last name ng asawa ko. thank you po sa reply sobrang worried lang po kasi ako since wala akong ka-idea idea about sa procedure nila. first marriage ko naman po and wala naman any complications so sana nga matapos ko in a day at hindi ako ma-hold haha. maraming salamat po talaga. oh and pwede po ba malaman kung ano yung mga nakalagay sa form po?
Deletehi :) yup don't worry po hindi namn ganon nakakatakot hehe basta kompleto ang documents mo matatapos mo sxa in one day .. at makakapg apply ka na ng passport :)
Deleteabout namn sa form hmmm makikita mo rin yung form sa site nila about lang din namn sa iyo at sa asawa mo yung mga tanong dun ;)
http://www.cfo.gov.ph/
Oh and nabasa ko po na kelangan ng pictures? Is it okay po ba if sa phone lang ipakita or kelangan concrete na photos? :) good thing talaga nahanap ko tong blog nyo, nakakalito kasi ung ibang forum na nabasa ko eh thank you po! :)
Deleteok lng yan ... minsan kasi hindi na hinahanap yun at meron naman iba hinanapan :) sabi ko nga depende sa kanila.. pero ok na meron ka dala diba.. ok lng din kahit sa cellphone... *wag ka na mag worry minsan kasi titignan nila if nagsama na kayo or nagmeet na kayo.. kung hindi ka hanapan ok lang kung hanapan ka eh di pakita mo yun.. :D bsta tip ko sayo... pumunta ka 1 oras bago ang schedule mo ... kasi minsan marami din tao dun.. kahit na may schedule ka... plus magfifill up ka ulit dun ng form at picture taking pa.. so me pila.. magdala ka ng ballpen tska bago ka umalis tsek mo yung certificate mo dapat tama lahat ng nakalagay dun na info ha :) kasi if may maayos mo kagad at papalitan namn nila yun :) so good luck po:)
DeleteNatapos ko na po seminar ko and it went well! Nakuha ko na din po CFO certificate ko. Super bait ng counselor namin and yung interview is madali lang naman hindi na din sila naghanap ng pictures. Ang ganda nung seminar ang dami ko natutunan haha and thank you po ulit for the help! :)
Deletesabi sayo eh mdali lang yan eh hehehe :) good luck and thanks din! :)
DeleteHello..ask ko lg what other docs that required by cfo.?my schedule is on August 10 in cfo Cebu.
ReplyDeleteHello Ms. Roxan,
DeleteDepende po kasi yung other documents na yan sa case nyo po.. I dont know kung pano pag sa Cebu office ..kasi sa manila may one on one interview with the councelor and sxa ang naghahanap ng other douments na yan (which is better lang na dala) Lahat ng requirement na kailangan nila na nakalagay po sa site nila yun lang ang primary na kailangan nila talaga..(yet kung minsan pag complicated ang case mo like for example ..nakasal ka dati at meron ka nang asawa before/ meron ka na anak/ meron sxa anak...meron siya asawa dati yung bago mong asawa ngayon/ divorce siya or divorce ikaw. annuled ka or siya... dun lang naman minsan hinahanapan ng ibang documents related sa mga issue na sinabi ko )

ask ko lang if kailangan ko ulet kumuha ng cenomar naipasa ko kaz sa us embassy yung original copy ko. Or needed ba ng cfo manila ang cenomar for k1 visa?
ReplyDeleteI think they need the Cenomar kung hindi pa kayo kasal (fiancee or mag bf, gf palang kayo ... dalhin mo lahat ng original documents mo dahil hahanapin din yun) nung ako pumunta don isa lang din Cenomar na dala ko...since marriage na ako at may MC na ako hindi na nila kinuha pero tinignan nila ;).. they will not take your original copy pati MC etc.. ect.. kukunin nila is zerox copies/photocopy lang po.... kaya better photo copy all your documents bago ka pumunta don -- meron namn nagzezerox dun sa labas ng Bldg. )
DeleteLahat ng requirement na kailangan nila na nakalagay po sa site nila yun lang ang primary na kailangan nila (yet kung minsan pag complicated ang case mo like for example ..nakasal ka dati at meron ka nang asawa before/ meron ka anak/ meron sxa anak...meron siya asawa dati yung bago mong asawa/ divorce siya or ikaw.. dun lang naman minsan hinahanapan ng ibang documents related sa mga issue na sinabi ko )
Hello i am travelling to thailand for holiday only and meeting my british boyfriend do i need to attend GCP seminar... thank you
ReplyDeletemind if i ask what type of visa you have? kasi sa thailand ka pupunta to meet your boyfriend ....visa on arrival ibinibigay sa thailand and if you are a tourist no need to have GCP seminar thanks!! unles mag mimigrate/ fiance visa ka na sa bansa ng boyfriend mo...
DeleteHello ate Michelle tanung ko lng po if i need to attend GCP for meeting my British Boyfriend in Thailand... thank you :)
ReplyDeletemind if i ask what type of visa you have? tourist ba? ilang days ka sa thailand? kasi sa thailand ka pupunta to meet your boyfriend diba? ....visa on arrival ibinibigay sa thailand and if you are a tourist no need to have GCP seminar thanks!! unles mag mimigrate/ fiance visa ka na sa bansa ng boyfriend mo...
DeleteHi Michelle,
ReplyDeleteI'm a little bit confused. You mentioned before that you do need the CFO certificate if you will visit your boyfriend (not fiance or husband) in his country, in my case it's Norway. I have the short term visa kinda like tourist visa. How come you don't need the CFO Certificate then if you travel to a different country like Thailand for holiday. Isn't that as a tourist also?
I went to Sweden for a tourist visa year 2013 to meet my husband na boyfriend ko palang dati..(hindi namn ako hinanapan ng CFO certificate) you don't need CFO certificate po kung sa thailand ka pupunta for vacation/ holiday/ tourist.. UNLESS po doon ka na sa thailand or sa norway mag mimigrate o titira o yung BF/asawa mo taga thailand..
DeleteCFO certificate po eh para po sa mga filipino na nakapag asawa or may fiancee na foreigner..
:) if you're still confuse po... better call them to inquire if you needed CFO certificate ;)

Hello Michelle! I'm a finnish citizen and we just got a visa type c for my filipina girlfriend. I tried to readthe questions and comments but my tagalog is not that good yet that I would have understood everything so I decided to ask this myself in English. Does my girlfriend need to attend The CFO seminar when she is only going to visit me and my country (Finland) for a short period of time? There is no plans for getting married or migrating in this visit so is the CFO really needed? Thank you for your answer already! We have been visiting many Asian countries together but never had any Cfo thing so that's why it confuses us.
ReplyDeleteope she don't need it for a type C visa....( 90 days right? around 3 months to be exact ..and you can extend it for another months). Those who obtain passports to travel on visitor visas, shopping in neighboring countries, tourism, etc....do not need the CFO seminar certificate or a CFO sticker ... :) Its normally REQUIRED for a person is leaving the Philippines on an immigrant, fiancee, or employment based visa.
DeleteI had my type C visa before when I visit my boyfriend (3 months) which is my husband now * haha just to share lol ..here in Sweden and they didn't required me to get my CFO certificate.. what i know is that its not required for a tourist visa unless your gf will going to migrate and live with you na...residence visa i mean ;)
what I remember i had before are my plane ticket (two-way) /my type C visa/ my boyfriends document like a copy of his passport / his statement of account /bank statement and invitation letter) hahaha and they asked me in the immigration in the ph airport if my boyfriend would be the one who will sponsor all my expenses and I said YES! .. and the rest is now history lol :D hope I explain it well :) good luck

Ikot na po namin ang pinas kaya gusto namin mag travel out of the Phil naman it's gonna be my first time to travel abroad. So ask ko lang po kung enough na po ba yung documents ko to present to BI kinakabahan po kasi ako ayaw ko ma sayang ang effort at pera ng boyfriend ko pag na offload ako pabalik balik na sya dito every 2 months. My round trip ticket na kami at hotel reservation magkasama din kami aalis at babalik ng pinas. Hope to hear from you soon po. Thank you in advance.

Thank you.
Magseminar muna sa CFO .. dahil if magrerenew na sxa ng passport at gagamit na nya ang apelyido ng kanyang asawa.. hahanapin sa kanya yung CFO certificate sa dfa pag nagrenew sxa.. kaya better get the certificate first kasi makakakuha namn sxa kagad nun..
Deleteseminar first then renew ng passport ;)
thank you sa reply..
Deletehave a good day...
thank you sa reply..

Hello poh.. ask ko lng poh if need ko pa mag register for appointment. Regarding my cfo sticker?may certificate na poh ako and resident card frm sweden. Thanks poh.
Deletei don't think so po na need mo pa ng schedule just to get your Emigrant sticker ;) kasi sa GF lang namn yun ng bldg. at pila lang sxa basta sabihin mo sa guard don na kukunin mo nalng yung sticker mo.
Deleteyung iba namn sa mismong sa airport na kinukuha yung sticker nila (but if i were u kung matagl pa namn yung flight mo.. balikan mo nlng sa cfo para hindi mo na sxa iintindihin sa araw ng alis mo :) )
goodluck ang welcome to sweden
Thank you for all your help. I am married to a USC of 19 years now. I came to the Philippines to finalize my legal status in the USA, I now have my passport/visa. I had no idea that i had to do the CFO seminar.
ReplyDeleteHere are my issues:
I did not know that we had to report the marriage to the Philippine Embassy in Los Angeles, We will do it once i’m back.
My passport is still under my maiden name.
I only have a copy of our Marriage Certificate. The original is in the Visa Packet, which we all know we must not open
I have pictures of us, husbands birth certificate, husbands copy of his bio page/passport
anything else I should bring as proof that we are married or other supporting papers?
I only have a copy of my NSO birth certificate. The original is in the packet as well.
ID’s, Passport, NBI clearance, Local Police clearane, all with my picture, are these sufficient enough? I have an appointment on the 11th, I am even thinking of walking in and taking my chances.
I am looking forward to reading your reply. Thank you again!

need po magpaschedule baka po pag nagpunta kayo don ng walang schedule masayang lang po ang oras nyo.
Deleteim sure matatapos nyo po yan in just one day ;)

Hello Mam Michelle Bersamina - Olofsson, mam pa help naman po indian national po ang husband po, punta po ako sa india next month for Tourist lang po (30 days) do i need Cfo pa po ba mam. Di naman po ako titira dun. Many thanks po
ReplyDeleteNope.. as what you've said TOURIST VISA ka...nope you don't need CFO seminar/sticker ..
DeleteTo those who obtain passports to travel on VISITOR VISA, shopping in neighbouring countries, tourism, etc....DO NOT need the CFO seminar certificate or a CFO sticker ... :) Its normally REQUIRED for a person is leaving the Philippines on an IMMIGRANT, FIANCEE, EMPLOYMENT BASED VISA.
Hello good morning. Do u have an idea about my situation, kasi ung husband ko japanese citizen but he's a US immigrant. Mag sschedule na po sana ako about sa GCP ng CFO kaso po nalilito ako kasi Japan citizen po husband ko, pero US destination po ung destination namin so, dapat po dba US ung seminar na aattend ako? Hindi ung Japan? Pano po un. Nag call po ako sa knla sbi nla, japan po dapat ung aattenan ko kasi on the proces pa po ung US visa ko, sabi nila lalagyan lg nila ng Sticker for us ung passport ko pagdating ng visa ko. Is it possible po? Naguguluhab po ksi ako. :(
ReplyDeletenaku yan rin po ang tanong ng iba :( sorry ha i dont have concrete answers po.. kahit ako rin naguguluhan po... kung tumawag namn po kayo para mag inquire sa kanila .. alam naman po nila yun don.. kaya once nasa CFo na kayo sila naman po magsasabi.
Delete.,Hi po Ma'am..Can I ask po about magkaibah po ba ung CFO sa GCP na seminar na aatenan?2 seminar po bang attenan ska magkaiba po ba ang pagregister online.??Naguguluhan po ksi ako??Nakapag register na po me ng GFC registered online..Paano po ba??Thank you po..Godbless..
DeleteYup same lang yan... GCP ang meaning nyan..Guidance and Counseling Program (GCP) / Fiancé(e)’s, Spouses, and Partners at yan ang SEMINAR :) (*depende sa bansa mo). kung nakapag register ka online tama po yan..at ang CFO namn ay yung office kung saan ka magseseminar.
Delete.,Hi po Ma'am..Thank you so much po sa pagrespond po..Ma'am ask ko lng po kng what citizen and magiinterview po???Matagl po bng interviewhin???And pagkatapos po bah ng Seminar,no need to worries nah po bah???Kasi stamp sticker and cretificate nlng po di bah po???Thank you so much po uli and Godbless po☺️😄😊😁😁😁
ReplyDeletepinoy namn ang magcoconduct ng seminar at interview.. :) kaya im sure kaya mo yan kung nakapasa ka nga sa interview mo ng visa .. natural kayang kaya mo yan.
DeleteHi Ma'am Michelle, kukuha po ako ng passport with my husband last name,i just got married this September 18/2015, baka po alam mo kung ano pa ang dapat kung dalhil to prove that we're married, my husband and I don't want to get any delayed as we're excited to start our family soon as possible in Canada,
ReplyDeletethis seminar from CFO is one of my requirements to get passport with my husband last name. and my passport number really need for my medical and immigration to start processing,
any help from anyone out there will appreciate,,,and thank u in advance
GOOD BLESS.
actually I dont know po kung ano kailan sa DFA pag nagchange name sa passport kasi hindi ko pa po sxa nagagawa yun, still gamit ko paring apelyido is yung sa pagkadalaga ko kasi hindi na ako ngpalit pa ng apelyido sa passport ko maybe pagbakasyon ko nalng yun gagawin anyway!
Delete(but mostly need talaga ang CFO certificate at yung MC mo.. I think yan ang isa sa mga requirements once ngpalit ka ng passport) and if magpapaschedule ka na kumuha ng passport sa DFA alam ko nakasulat namn roon kung ano ang mga requirements and if need yang CFO certificate then Unahin mo yan.
Seminar from CFO ang unahin mo matatapos mo namn yan in just one day.. seminar certificate lang makukuha mo at dahil wala ka pang visa .. babalikan mo yung emigrant sticker mo once meron ka nang visa..
goodluck
maraming salamat sa pag reply mo,,,
DeleteGOD BLESS YOU
Elo po! Ask q lng po kc ung pasport & visa q nkalagay apelyedo q pa rin s pgkadalaga q po...,spouse visa me s japanes po..ung cfo certificate & immigrant sticker q po ung nkalagay po apelyedo na po ng asawa kng japanese...oks lng po ba un?wla po bang conflict un? Tnx po...
ReplyDeleteYup no worries.. about that po.. kasi yung passport po natin eh napapalitan yan meaning mayroong expiration date so the next time na magrenew ka ng passport mo pwed mo na palitan ng apelyido ng asawa mo .. while ang CFO cerrtificate at Emigrant sticker is WALA po yang expiration date.. for life na po yan kaya natural ang ilalagay nila is yung apelyido na ng may asawa ka..
Deletewalang conflict dyan ...
same as like me.. ganyan rin sakin ang nasa passport ko at residence visa ko is pagkadalaga ko *hindi pa kasi ako ng change ng apelyido sa passport ko kaya, pagkadalaga ko parin ang nakalagay
in-explain yan samin nung nag seminar samin.. talagang ang inilalagay nila sa certificate at emigrant sticker is yung apelyedo na ng asawa mo :) kaya wag ka na mag alala ... dahil sooner or later mapapalit karin ng passport gamit ang apelyido ng asawa mo..
Deletehope na explain ko sayo ng maayos.. dahil kung sa tingin mo may problema yan wala po.. (dahil ganyan rin po sakin kaya wag ka po mag alala na baka magka problema ka) *okies :)
Ah ganun po ba...okwiez po thanks po,na explain nyu po sakin ng maayos :) thanks a lot :) godbless po....
ReplyDeleteGud pm po. Got confused kc po sabi mo cfo is for who will migrate lng po. Im holding a tourist visa po and planned to meet my indian bf but unfortunately got offloaded bcoz IO as me a Cfo certificate. D q din po alam na i have to attend a seminar since tourist visa lng naman po ung visa q. And one thing po, we didnt meet personally pa po, is there a chance na makakuha aq ng certificate? Thank u po.
ReplyDeleteYup that is what I know po dahil kung lahat ng may tourist visa ang hawak ay need yan.. eh di lahat kailangang kumuha nyan which is hindi namn dahil base on my experience ..nakailang Tourist visa na ang nakuha ko at hindi naman ako hinanapan ng CFO nung umalis ako....
DeleteAno po bang purpose ng travel nyo? hindi po ba tourist diba tinatanong ng IO officer yun at ibang tanong pa na gusto nila itanong.. so ano po ba sinabi nyo?? or baka namn po Fiancé(e) visa ka?
If you said sa IO officer na tourist ka..kung ano purpose ng travel mo they already know what they're doing that is why hinanapan ka ng CFO.
or maybe you can call CFo to inquire po thanks
DeleteGud pm po. Got confused kc po sabi mo cfo is for who will migrate lng po.

ReplyDeleteHi gud pm.. Im confused kc sabi mo d na po kelangan ng cfo certificate if tourist visa lng but immigration officer ask me to provide cfo certificate. Got offloaded po kc bcoz i dont have cfo certificate. I have tourist visa and planned to meet my indian bf. And one more thing, is there a chance na makakuha aq ng certificate since we didnt met yet personally? Thanks po.
ReplyDeletePurpose of travel ko po is to meet/visit my bf kaya po cguro ako hiningan ng cfo. Tomorrow na din po ung appointment ko for cfo. Do i have a chance na makakuha ng certificate even if me and my bf didnt meet yet personally? Thank u po.
ReplyDeleteyup makukuha mo kaga yang certificate :) one day lang po yan goodluck po

May certificate na po ako ng CFO. Sticker nalang po ang kulang.. kailangan ko pa bang magseminar ulit para magkasticker?
ReplyDeleteI'm not so sure po.. baka kasi ibng bansa ka naman magmimigrate or ibangbansa yung nasa seminar certificate mo.. dapat kung ano ang nasa certificate yun rin ang nasa sticker..
Deletebetter call them nalng po to inquire ... Thanks
hi ask q lng po, ang case namin FILIPINO CITIZEn ako pero may residence permit ako dto sa Finland, nagun na issuean po asawa q ng residence permit din based on family ties, kailangan nya din bang kumuha ng cfo, eh same naman kaming Pilipino,, salamat po
ReplyDeleteyup need nya po yan dahil requirements sxa ng Immigration....To those who obtain passports to travel on VISITOR VISA, shopping in neighbouring countries, tourism, etc....DO NOT need the CFO seminar certificate or a CFO sticker ...
DeleteIts normally REQUIRED for a person is leaving the Philippines on an IMMIGRANT, FIANCEE, EMPLOYMENT BASED VISA.
Kahit Pinoy or foreign nationality pa po dahil magafafall yung situation nyo parin sa :) Guidance and Counseling Program (GCP) / Fiancé(e)’s, Spouses, and Partners ng CFO at hahanapin yan sa Airport once umalis na po yung asawa nyo.
Delete
HI tanong q pang both Pilipino citizen at am asawa, kailangan pa bang kumuha ng CFO thank you, kasi lahat po ng blog foreinger ang partner nila, thank you
ReplyDeleteTanong lang po.. Flight ko na po October 29.. Tourist Visa po hawak ko papuntan Denmark.. Kailangan ko pa ba ng CFO? Ivisit ko kasi Danish bf ko.. Salamat..
ReplyDeleteAs what you've said TOURIST VISA ang hawak mo.. so ang sagot hindi po.. natural ang isasagot mo sa IO eh turist ka natural magttour ka.
Deleteplease note on this ..To those who obtain passports to travel on VISITOR VISA/TOURIST, shopping in neighbouring countries, tourism, etc....DO NOT need the CFO seminar certificate or a CFO sticker ...
Its normally REQUIRED for a person is leaving the Philippines on an IMMIGRANT, FIANCEE, EMPLOYMENT BASED VISA.
Tourist Visa rin hawak ko nung unang Ivivisti ko si bf (2013) dati hindi namn ako hinanapan ng Certificate or CFO.
DeleteHi Michelle,
ReplyDeleteSalamat sa blog mo..nakakatulong ng malaki to..sa friday kc yung sched ko for gcp cert.kc renew ko passport to change my maiden name into my husband' s family name.
Hi miss michelle,
ReplyDeleteSayang po ngayun ko lng nabasa blog nyu.miss mag tanung sana ako ksi nung 1st week of oct. Na accomplish namin ang req.for marriage tsaka nakakuha kmi ng legal capacity from indian embassy so nung OCT.9 po kaka kasal lng namin ng husband ko na indiano pag katapos ng kasal namin sa probinsya yung LCR napo ang nagproces o nag endorse ng Marriage license namin sa NSO after a days bago kmi bumalik ng manila nakuha namin sa Local civil registrar yung isang copy ng marriage license from LCR together with NSO at DFA sinama nya yung endorsement paper at reciept from LBC kasi baka hanapin.
so kinunan ako ng asawa ko ng round trip ticket saka nag book xa ng hotel sa pangalan ko tsaka tourist visa lng yung inaply nya sakin ksi d nya pa alam kon anung visa ang dapat. Akala namin ok na lahat na papers d naman namin alam na kailangan pala ng mag undergo ng CFO.
nung oct 21 aalis na sana kmi na undergo kmi interview sa IO na lalaki at sinusuri yung papel namin ok na sana yun kaya lng nung huli pumasok yung IO na babae at sinabi na kababago lng ikinasal makaka kuha agad ng NSO tsaka DFA fake yan last minute na yun nag kaka problema so hindi ako pinayagan umalis at yung husband ko pina alis na nila subrang alala yung husband ko. sinabihan pa kmi ng IO na babae pag namimilit dw kmi i ba blocklist nila yung asawa ko.pa invistigahan dw nila yung M.L namin sa NBI.
so kina bukasan pumunta ako ulit sa NSO manila main at nag apply ng marriage license kung na endorse naman dw from LCR marelesan ako this NOV.10.
kaya ngayunpo nag aalala yung husband ko kasi pag bumalik xa dito sa phil. Mapupunta lng xa sa jail kung hindi pa namin ma aayus.
Miss mechelle pag nakuha kunaba yung M.L namin from NSO at napa DFA ko anu po ba ang next kong gawin..
may mga natanungan kasi ako sabi nla ipa registered ko daw sa immigration office. Pro naghahanap kasi ako ng malinaw na sagot kasi kayu my experience dito sana po matulongan nyu ako maraming salamat po
Bakit namn mapupunta sa jail asawa mo eh wala naman siyang ginawang masama im sure nananakot lang yung mga yon tska bakit ipapablocklisted ganyan yung mg ayon power tripping..sana hindi ka nagpatinag kung komplete ko sa documents umalma ka sana.. kung ako yon nako! anyway..
DeleteKung ako sayo eh need mo na kumuha ng CFO while nag aantay ka ng MC mo sa NSO. Mabilis lang namn yun isang araw tapos mo yun. Kailangan mo yun kasi nakasal ka na pala sa kanya at talagng hahanapin yan sa Airport dahil asawa mo foreigner so under ka ng CFO Guidance and Counseling Program (GCP) / Fiancé(e)’s, Spouses, and Partners.
About namn sa IO sadyang mahigpit sila at "sinabi sayo na ang bilis mo nakakakuha kagad ng MC mo ".. kasi ang totoo nyan eh talgang matagal ang pagkuha ng MC sa NSO minsan nga umaabot ng buwan bago marelease at sabi mo nga kakasal nyo lang nung OCT 9 so sobrang bilis nga namn talga kaya siguro nagtaka yung officer at naquestion ka.
tska dapat ireport nyo yung kasal nyo sa dfa ba yun or sa embbasy ng India.. Im not so 100% sure about it kung preho ng process kasi sa pinas ka kinasal ako namn eh sa ibang bansa ako kinasal so inreport namin yung kasal namin sa Phil embassy dito... hindi ko alam kung pareho ba ng process kung sa pinas kinasal. Try to inquire sa Indian embassy para malaman mo kung ano ang process nila kasi hindi ko talga alam kung pareho ba.
better finish the CFO seminar para hindi ka na ulit magkaproblema
