HOW TO BRING MONEY TO AUSTRALIA THE FIRST TIME AROUND?

RyanCFC

For Pinoy Migrants (PR), paano po ang tamang approach sa pagdala ng pera (pocket money) kung wala ka pang any bank accounts within australia? Is it safe to bring cash? Please comment. Thanks po.

Got it!

From http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Ente/Goin/Arrival;

"Currency

There is no limit to the amount of currency you can bring in or out of Australia. However, you must declare amounts of AUD.10,000 or more in Australian currency or foreign equivalent.
You must disclose any promissory notes, travellers' cheques, personal cheques, money orders, postal orders or other bearer negotiable instruments, regardless of value, if requested by one of our officers or a police officer."

@RyanCFC walang problema sa Au pag lagpas ka ng 10k cash na dala kasi declaration lang kailangan mo gawin. sa pinas lang hassle magdeclare ng pera na lagpas 10k.
