<blockquote rel="TasBurrfoot"><blockquote rel="mondejar">Tanong lng po ako. P.R. na rin po kme sa Australia (visa 189), pero nandito pa kme sa SG. Next Month (August 6-20), pupunta po kme ng Sydney for our first entry pero babalik din kme ng SG pra mkapag ipon pa.
May nkapagsabi kasi na wag muna kme mag apply ng Medicare. Kailangan po ba tlaga mag apply agad ng Medicare kapag nag first entry (hindi pa permanent magstay sa Au)? Ano ang advantage or disadvantages ng pagkuha agad ng medicare kung pagpe first entry ka pa lng at hindi pa magstay permanently?</blockquote>
It does not really matter if you apply or not but the things is IF YOU APPLY... makukuha mo na ang card mo within the next month > have this posted to an address of a friend and ipadala mo nalang sa Singapore...
This way covered ka na c/o your Medicare pagbalik mo dito sa Australia; I don't know what is the rationale behind not yet applying sa Medicare, gagawin at gagawin mo naman ito eh, and wala naman bayad to apply.</blockquote>
Im not sure about kung pwede ka mag apply agad, according to our friend you need to have at least wait for a week after your initial entry before you can apply for a medicare ...
anyway theres no harm in trying
