    Normally sa bank yan - there are black markets out there supposedly who can give you a better rate than the banks.

    Worst case, sa banks ka - you need documentation for source of money though.

    Saan ba pwede magpapalit ng PHP to AUD sa Pinas?

    Parang bihira ata sa mga banks sa Pinas ang may AUD notes.. lalo na kung equivalent to around 30K AUD ang ipapalit mo...

    @vhoytoy, safest way talaga is bank-to-bank wire transfer...

    pero kung matatalo ka sa wire transfer charges and exchange rate ng PHP to AUD, I suggest ipa-palit mo na lang sa bank from PHP to USD yung pera mo, then pagdating mo sa Oz, saka mo na lang ipapalit from USD to AUD.. ingat na lang sa pag handcarry nung USD, around 22K rin yung equivalent ng 1M PHP..

    Another option is.. pagawa ka ng USD na Traveler's Check.. yan mas safe pa yan kesa dalhin mo yung USD na notes...

    Just in case plang naman. Coz, im selling my condo and may isang willing to pay spot cash. Its discounted price but i think makakabawi ako dahil malakas piso ngaun. But still wondering paano nga ba. May 2 banks acct nman ako sa australia d nga lang fully activated. Madali kasi kung pera dito sa sg to au. Most probably will talk to bank manager for best way. Kung sa palitan ngaun atleast aud50k cguro. Kung magbitbit ng cash baka madelikado haha. Pero for sure may docs kami like notarised deed of sale if ever. Managers check, bank draft, wire transfer still dont know. Curious lang ako paano ung iba na may malaking pera talaga na dinala.

    @vhoythoy parang parehas lang naman kahit idaan mo sa USD.. pag pinapalit mo yung USd to AUD, mas lalaki pa rin yun dahil mahina ang AUD ngayon

    Kapag nagreremit kasi ako sa lucky plaza dala ko pera. Jan ba sa iremit pinas pwede wire transfer? Kasi ung bdo namin is 50k pesos a day withdrawal limit so kung 9999 per transactions aud baka 7-8 days ka magwiwithdraw. Or pwede naman at palakihin withdrwal tumawag sa bank. Ano ginawa mo kremitz?

    My 2 cents @wizardofOz - everytime you do an FX, you immediately lose 1.5% of the fair value of your money as a result of what they call FX spread.

    So to put it in perspective, you would lose approximately 3% of your 1M when you Sell PHP, Buy USD then Sell USD, Buy AUD - this is Php30K or mga approximately $900 AUD - sayang din! :)

    Paano process nyan. Magremit ka 9999 aud sa iremit sa acct mo. Tapos instruct ka ng iremit na deposit ka muna sa acct nila ng ganitong amt xxx in pesos. Then pakita mo ung deposit slip. Tapos saka nila send sa acct mo sa aus kapag pumasok na sa acct nila? By phone/personal ba to? Parang ganito kasi sa pay2homes online nga lang mas convenient and sarado na agad ung exchange rate

    @vhoythoy parang parehas lang naman kahit idaan mo sa USD.. pag pinapalit mo yung USd to AUD, mas lalaki pa rin yun dahil mahina ang AUD ngayon
    My 2 cents @wizardofOz - everytime you do an FX, you immediately lose 1.5% of the fair value of your money as a result of what they call FX spread.

    So to put it in perspective, you would lose approximately 3% of your 1M when you Sell PHP, Buy USD then Sell USD, Buy AUD - this is Php30K or mga approximately $900 AUD - sayang din! :)

    I agree with this.. it is really a bad idea to convert your money to USD then AUD ... lalo na ngayon mababa ang value ng AUD .... talo na ka na exchange rate talo ka pa sa FEEs

    Best option pa din is to convert your money directly to AUD, but if AUD notes are not that readily available from where you are, good alternative, and probably the safest, pa din is to transfer money via wire..

    For instance in my bank in Bangkok, the charge is only 300 Baht (~USD10 equivalent) per transaction up to 50,000 USD equivalent of any currency per day.

    Then my receiving bank in Oz, which is NAB, only charges AUD10 for any incoming wire transaction.. Basically, 50K USD could move in less than USD20 fee.

    Of course there would always be forex losses, that’s how banks make money.

    You have to check this with your bank... Potentially, I will be remitting roughly at least $80K in the coming weeks and BPI specifically mention that papers will be required to ascertain source of fund.

    @TasBurrfoot pls let us know then the process, documents required and remitance fees to be incurred. para ma compare din sa ibang banks.

    BTW mas panalo ba sa BPI kesa ANZ bank (Makati)
    Isang tanong pa, subjected ba sa OZ tax yang ganyang magremit ka from Pinas to OZ wherein funds are coming from property sellings and other forms of investment like mutual funds/stocks.

    @TasBurrfoot, ask ko lang if yung bang malaking pera na ipapadala from pinas will be taxable in AU? wondering lang kasi if ever we sell properties in the phils and we are established na in AU, considered as income din ba ito?

    Alam ko walang tax, limited ka lang to 10k if more than that u have to declare.

    Selling properties is not considered as an income, the gains/tubo mo from the properties is taxable--- capital gains tax.
    not sure how much.. Kse ang alam ko may double taxation treaty and ph with au.
