CFO Guidance and Counseling is mandatory... you cannot get the sticker/stamp without it. And without the CFO sticker/stamp and certificate, you cannot leave the country even if you have the visa, ticket, etc. You can do the seminar/counseling and getting the stamp/sticker all in one day especially if you have your visa.
