CFO Rant

[IainBusby]

hi Ady, just a suggestion...how about if sheila goes to cfo seminar and sticker/stamp in cebu a day or two before her trip to the uk and just let her board her flight going to the uk in Cebu International Airport as well. Saves you a lot more cause of that.

She could also do the same in Manila if this fits in better with her travel plans. My wife went to the CFO seminar in Cebu and then stayed an extra day in Manila whilst on her way to the UK, so that she could collect her CFO passport sticker.

I can't really remember the reason for this, but I think it was because she wanted to change her passport to her married name before applying for her visa, so she had to attend the seminar to do this. But it seems, although you can attend the seminar and get the certificate to prove you have attended, they won't issue the passport sticker until you have a visa in your passport.

Not much good though if she was planning to fly direct from Davao to Singapore.

Oh I'm sorry, I missed that bit, I didn't know that was the plan. I suppose Cebu is the obvious choice then.
