Hi guys,
I want to share with you some interview questions which my friend had shared to me. Hope this may help.
[/quote]Below is an email from one of our members regarding their interview in Bangkok:
hello guys! we had our interview last april 25 and ms. rita martin is our visa officer.beah is right, she's a very nice person and she'll really make you feel comfortable.basically, the same set of questions.we were there an hour earlier.pinag stay kami sa isang room.marami kaming kasabay na pinoy.meron isang group dun na kasama ni mr.sumpang and meron din indians.one by one papasok sa room ung vo to call the applicants assigned sa kanila.when we entered the room, she returned first our documents since may copy file na sila, explained a little about why there is a need for an interview, then checked our passport.for those who are interested sa style ng interview sa couples.first, yun husband ang tatanungin.about his identity like bday,mother's maiden name, etc.then ung work and skills.then yung wife naman will be asked about the plans of the family including the children (schools, grade,etc).if you're going to work there, about your work and skills also. the third part are questions answerable by anyone of you like, why migrate?where to stay?do you know anybody from nz?etc.our interview was about one hour.by the way, before our interview, she asked if we have already taken ielts.since we havent, by the end of our interview we asked if we will be required later,she told us that they will review our papers and they will base it in our qualifications,work experience and interview and will just notify us later.also, we have mentioned our group when she asked where do we get tips on how to settle there.we told her na sobrang laking tulong yung group natin since we get to help each other with so many things.and mukhang natuwa naman sya na di lang tayo usual forum group, kundi nag-me-meet din tayo personally.ok, goodluck dun sa naka sked for interview this may.don't worry mukhang puro mababait yung nandun sa bangkok.God bless!
Below is another email from one of our members:
Our scheduled interview was 10:30..tlaga on the dot sila..kaya naman..ahead of time nandoon na kami..Questions are templated..parehas lang ng mga naunang nainterview...Rina is right, basic informations were asked, may laptop kasi sa harap nya...lahat ng sinasabi mo...recorded sa computer..
Most of the questions were focused on settlement...
1. How are you going to settle, what difficulties will you be encountering when you settle? about education of the children, preferred place to settle down, why did you choose that place? Kailangan marami kang alam sa chosen place mo...
2. Our work experience...tinanong sya sa work nya, ganon din ako...kasi nag claim ang husband ko ng 10 points...
3. What if you won't be able to find a related job, what would you do...
4. He asked also kung may alam ako kung magkano ang dapat na salary just to survive..
5. He never mentioned kung bibili kami ng bahay...
Tips: Never say negative statements when you asked about the settlement...always positive...especially sa mga difficulties you might be encountering...SInabi kasi ni Mr. Sampang yan habang nasa waiting room kami...binigyan nya kami ng tips...mabuti na lang nandoon sya...

Hi everyone,
Please give me tips on how to book for Bangkok. Hanap ako ng Travel agency sa Baguio pero puro fully book na. Pangalawang postponement ko na kasi ito. Unang reason ko kung bakit di ako makaatend ng interview last March 29 ay dahil naka schedule ako for casarean kaya pinospone ng May 24, kaya lang masyadong late binigay yong advise. Kaya namove ulit ng June 2. HELP !!!!

| Just wanna ask.. meron din kaming years na wala kaming trabaho. Usually ano ang ine-expect ng officer na isasagot mo? Of course, you have to be honest kung ano talaga ang nangyari sa mga taon nayun, but do you still remember kung me mga follow-up questions regarding those years? |
