How to get a Certificate from CFO Online (Emigrants, Family, Au Pair, etc.)
A Pre-Departure Orientation Seminar, Country Familiarization Program, or Guidance Counseling Program is a requirement before departing from the Philippines. The IO mostly asks it from Emigrants, those with Resident Permits abroad, Type D Visas like Fiancés, Au Pairs, and many more. Here’s how you can get a certificate from the CFO Online.
The CFO or the Commission on Filipino Overseas is an agency responsible for the interest of Filipinos abroad, usually those who will be out of the country for a long time. Before, you’ll go anytime to the CFO office to attend a seminar and/or get your CFO Registration sticker. However, due to the pandemic, Online Services is the new normal – read instructions below.

Hello, I bought a ticket for my brother coming here in US and I thought that it’s easy to make an appointment. his flight is this coming May 2, 2023, and his only 17 years old. I used all my credit card just to avail the cheaper ticket because I know it would get more expensive if I waited that long that is why I decided. I tried to rebook the flight just to avail the availability spot for PDOS but unfortunately it will cost me an arm and leg to change it. please advise what should I do. thanks

Hello!
I have a sister going as an aupair to France! She is applying at cfo to get a certificate,
but her registration didn’t went through because of her uncomplete requirements! After a week, we tried since we have completed her requirements, but we didn’t receive any reply from the cfo officer who had she send her file!
Is this normal? She had an aupair visa and contract, yet no one from this cfo wants to validate her application for this certificate! she was delay on her expected departure and arrival in France! Is this normal? why does she have to suffer for something like this? For someone who had a complete file and visa, I think it was unfair to not be able to exit in Philippines and go to her country of destination!
The CFO seminar is there to protect the Filipinos going abroad. Please note that there are many clients served by the CFO. Your sister may try walk-in sa CFO office if malapit na yung flight.

I am an Australian citizen and have been married to my Filipino Wife. prior to our marriage in 2011, she had to attend a counseling session in Manila. This was attended and a certificate was issued . My wife has a copy of the Certificate in her possession. As our Permanent Resident Visa Class 100 has been approved and she is due to travel to Australia on the 18th January 2022 – Is the certificate she is holding sufficient for CFO requirements to depart the Philippines
Better contact the CFO so that she won’t encounter problems
Hi, I have the same situation with your wife. I also have my cfo certificate since 2011 and just had my resident visa approved recently. Was her CFO certificate sufficient already? Thank you for your help.

Hi, my husband (a Filipino citizen) has been granted a temporary residence permit to Norway. He finally received his passport back 2 days ago and we hurried to book a flight so he can come to Norway. His flight is already 2 days from now. After a bit research today we found out about this CFO-emigrant registration sticker which we have never heard about before. Is it required for him to do this before leaving the Philippines since he only has a temporary residence in Norway? An emigrant is per definition a person who permanently leaves his country to live somewhere else. Is there any way he will be allowed to departure without the CFO certificate? Thank you in advance
there is also a CFO-GCP for Partners or spouses of Foreign nationals. If his flight tomorrow, he can plead to the IO that he’ll get it next time and that he just new the information a few days ago and couldn’t get an appointment.

Hi, I’m a US Permanent Resident, my wife is a Filipina. We were engaged in 2018, married in 2021 while living together in Philippines under covid lockdown. I am parenting my child for summer in US, my wife is in Phils. She will fly to meet me next month in Costa Rica, which is tourist visa-free for 90 days to Filipinos. She will have with her return ticket, insurance, support affidavit from me (notarized in Phils), debit card on her own account, and my bank statements and proof of assets. Will she need CFO certificate? Does the PDOS certificate still exist? If so, how to download online after watching the seminar videos? To make sure BI allow her to exit Phils, would you recommend making the return ticket duration less than 90 days? Like, 30 days? And would you recommend that our default plan should be that I return with her to Phils on Balikbayan visa, and NOT to continue our travels from Costa Rica to other countries? Thank you in advance for your advice!
CFO – OFCORS for Guidance and Counseling Program for Spouse/Fiance(e)s and Other Partners of Foreign National, Former Filipino and Dual Citizen.
Since you are not a former Filipino or a dual citizen, perhaps it’s not required to get a CFO.
I’ve been on vacation here in the Philippines since June 2021 now ready Togo back to Washington USA in September .Do I need CFO ? I am 69 yrs old.
What’s your status in US?
Hi i would like to know if since we are in a pandemic this applies “Thru online registration, clients need not go to any CFO office to avail of pre-departure services. They could just print their own OF-CORS Temporary Certificate, which will be presented to the Bureau of Immigration on the day of their departure from the Philippines.” Does this mean i do not need to go to a physical seminar? Does this mean i do not need to wait for it to be mailed? Lastly can this all be done within a day as it is online? Sorry for all the questions i am a first time immigrant student and i am super stressed kasi i just saw that i needed this.
Seminar now is usually given thru tele-counseling.
It is not a seminar – it is an interview or more like an interrogation.
They are asking between 10 and 18 more/less personal questions !
Only in the Philippines you are given a passport, then you struggle to get visa to go West and finally you are stressed because they might stop/offload adult women
Before, it was a seminar as it was done in groups – country familiarization, anti-trafficking, etc …
But now, as maybe they have limited time, they are doing interviews
I just think of it as a way the government protects its citizens from human trafficking.
Adam is right. Some of their councillors think they seriously are doing gods work but tragically just following archaic laws that punish genuine couples. They don’t judge on a genuine bases like a Visa would. They judge you personally. They have laws in Afghanistan with the Taliban in the name of god too. The people who aren’t denied because they are human trafficking most people who go through this go through an excruciating visa process, it’s incredibly expensive just to be with a person they love.
Makes me wonder when it’s time for those who judge go to the pearly gates and god won’t let them in without a stamp. I’m sorry I maybe god but the law is the law. No stamp no heaven.

Please let me know if there is a possibility that I still can get a cfo even my fiancé or my sponsor is still married.? Thank you so much and GODBLESS

Did you make it or got offloaded ?
CFO has crazy list of strict requirements

hi did u get your cfo?
bakit walang Costa Rica sa list of country donsa CFP-online registration.destination ko sana is Costa Rica.
Please contact the CFO.
We keep emailing CFO tech support to update an email address but we can’t update it. Plus CFO doesn’t answer their phones. It’s very difficult to get CFO sticker online. They need to open up for inperson again. The online takes forever and is inefficient. People miss their flight ✈️ over the sticker and CFO does nothing to improve their system.
Hi! na offload po ako today sa immigration . need ko daw po kumuha ng CFO online registration paano po at hindi n po b ako pupunta sa office ng CFO? thank you

Hi, thank you for this very informative blog. Ask ko lang po to clarify for my partner, i am a filipino with permanent resident need pa din po ba nia mag undergo ng guidance and counselling or PDOS lang po?
Is your partner traveling on an immigrant visa or long-term visa po? PDOS usually is asked. You can also verify with the cfo po via e-mail or FB messenger
Thank you po, we tried to verify po sa FB kaso wala po kami response na receive. She will be travelling with a long term visa, Type D po.
Kailangan pa po ba ng CFO if you’re just going for a Private Visit lang for 1 month?
Right now, the CFO is asking this, so better to get prepared with everything and OVER-prepared than underprepare.
Thank you, this is very informative. Clarify ko lang po, after ng online registration, next is appointment interview? face to face interview? need po ba magpunta sa office nila?
You’ll have tele-counseling po. No need to go out.
hi! after recieving email etc. need pa po bang pumunta sa office for coiuunseling? para saan po ang appointement? and when to get the seal?
PS. this is for my son 13 years old. iba na kasi ang procedure ngayon kesa sakin noon 8 yrs ago.
you’ll get a call po for an appointment. via tawag nlng lahat.
then they’ll send you an email of the temporary cfo and the sticker via male.
Good day, Yung nag PA aral kasi sakin pinapapunta akong UAE
kailangan Ata NG CFO kasi higpit NG immigration kailangan NG Aos at cfo. Hinahanap.
Required ba akong kumuha?
How many days po bago mo nakuha cfo stickers nyo po?
Temporary Certificate is after your interview or confirmation with the CFO.
Sticker probably depends on where you are located and when CFO has shipped them.
My Filipina says she has to send you an affidavit of support to come visit me in Maldives to get her cfo is this true

Hello po. Ask ko lng po any idea kung mga ilang linggo po madeliver yung original copy ng CFO certificate and sticker? Kasi po meron na po akong temporary CFO certificate na natanggap through email. Pero yung original CFO Certificate copy ko not yet sent by mail. It’s almost 2 weeks na po.
I hope to hear from you soon.

Hi!
Is this only available for partner and PR visas?
Kung temporary visa lang such as TSS (temporary shortage skills, 482) e kelangan po ba tong CFO?
Dependant ko po ung asawa ko pero TSS lang hawak nya.
thanks!
hi po. ty po sa info. tanong q lng po. lagi po na may available na slot. na pinakamalapit. o puno po palagi. saka nagpunta po ba kayo para lang sa sticker? kasi po nagseminar na ako dati. sticker nalang po need ko. ty po
Hi! Same tayo scenario. Nkapagseminar ako around March pero nglockdown so ng-online sila. Mag-online ka pa ron po. Yung color blue po yung piliin nyo. If may telecounselor ka na, inform him na nkaavail ka na sa seminar before and nkapagbayad. Attached the receipt at ung stub po. Tapos about s payment, 95 nlng ung babayaran pra sa courier na mgdedeliver ng sticker. If your flight is real soon, dont wait for the sticker to he send to your address. Okay na po ang CFO Certificate na ipakita sa immigration.
Hi how are you. Your help is badly needed. My 3 kids ages ( 21,16,11 yrs old.)
Has already flight schedule for USA this coming June 25…but the problem is no respond from CFO website or email after sila nag register a week ago.. I understood pwede magamit ang temporary certificate just in case we have them. Is there any possible way na ma speedier process or any suggestions would be very helpful.. one more thing how many days ba makuha ang sticker or temporary certificate just incase. Your help is very much appreciated. Thanks. Godbless

My wife has her CFO certificate, but no link came to download the temporary sticker. Can my wife travel with the certificate only? Or will she have to wait for the phantom sticker ???
She can travel on the temp certificate emailed to her. But better to have the sticker. The certificate by email is temporary. CFO doesn’t answer their emails.
Hi , magtatanong po ako ano po recent documents sa CFO since magbabakasyon lang naman sa Pinas . Maliban sa red ribbon any documents pa bo hinihinge nila?
Im done doing the payment, nakatanggap na rin ako ng payment confirmation pero walang link para iprint ung temporary certificate.
Paano po magbayad? madami na po akong napuntahan na bayad center pero hindi nila mahanap ang Biller name na CFO. Online payment po yung pinili ko since akala ko madali siya para sa akin pero sobrang hirap po maghanap kasi hindi alam ng staff ng bayad center kahit may code at reference #. Please help me po thanks
please contact po CFO Facebook page as they can answer that po.

Pwd po ba maka kuha ng copy ng cfo ko po
Hello, this is very informative and helpful esp during this time of pandemic. Do you know how long it will take until the of cors certificate will be delivered to you once payment confirmation in the email is sent? Also, if by appointment, makukuha ba xa agad within the day ung certificate?
I already gets an email to confirm. pero walang lumalabas sakin na step 7. pag click ko ng register bumabalik lang sya.
Pano mo mahanap ang step 7? need ko na po kasi makuha cfo ko para makapag rebook na ako. salamat po
