Hello. I'm curious lang sa process ng rental application. I'm planning po kasi to rent an apartment in the Melbourne CBD area when I finally get there.

Ilang ID po dapat ang kailangan ipakita? So far kasi ngayon, passport lang ang meron ako; the other ones I have are secondary IDs and I don't think acceptable sila. On top of it, pwede ba yung birth cert? Visa grant?

Ano pong other documents na kailangan ipakita? I do know job offer/contract for proof of income.

I know na kailangan din magpakita ng bank statement. Do they accept yung naka peso yung currency? Not sure gaano kabilis magopen ng account as soon as I arrive, pero pretty much magdadala ako ng bank statement pero from a local bank (RCBC siguro) -- tinatanggap kaya nila yun?

Anyone na nakapagrent lately sa CBD? How long did it take before maapprove?

Thanks in advance for your inputs! :smiley:

Meron point system dito to register for an ID (age card, drivers licence application) or to open a bank account. Naka-indicate yun sa application mo, naka classify yun either primary (ID with pictures) or secondary. Pwede mo gamitin yun passport, birth certificate, bank account, and foreign driver's licence. I forgot if these IDs require for attestation (in case needed, pwede sa police station, just bring the original and photocopy). Bawat ID presented meron corresponding points. I think at least 100 points ata to qualify.

Pwede ka ng mag-open ng Australian bank account (NAB, ANZ...) while overseas. Pag dating mo, you can go to your nearest preferred bank na inindicate mo sa registration mo, it can take days or weeks to receive your debit card, pero pwede ka na mag-deposit sa account mo while overseas.

Thank you po! Yung pagopen po ba ng Australian bank account while overseas, maguundergo po ba yan ng 100 points system?

Dumating kami dito January 2023.then rented Feb 1,2023. Before coming here, nag open nako bank sa Commbank. Pagdating namin dito, vinerify namin agad ung bank.
After maverify, pwede ng gamitin ung bank account so we started transferring our money dito sa Commbank.

We also used the bank to get a Photo card ID from service NSW.they only accept passport and bank account from new migrants. At that time, wala pa kaming medicard so the only document we can provide is bank details showing ur address and phone number.
We also used the bank statements to show the house agents that we can pay the house for a certain amount of time. Maybe that's why we were able to rent it even though we dont have jobs. We needed to find house na kasi we wanted our kid to attend school. Ao the house contract was asked sa enrollment ng bata.

Thank you po! Nakita ko nga po na you can submit your application for Commbank 2 weeks before you arrive. From the time po na pagdating niyo diyan, nakuha niyo po ba kaagad yung account on the same day? And paano po kayo nagtransfer ng money to your commbank?

Currently based in Melbourne, inner suburb.

If coming overseas, passport and visa grant should be okay. Cover letter will also help.

Job offer, or better ask for a reference letter from your employer incuding your salary details.

I don't think non-AUD bank statements hold a value for agents here; as they want to see you finanial capability in Australia, whether you can afford and pay rent on time.

Approval process for any rental properties depends on your competition. You can be rejected if the agent feels there are other profiles that suits best.

I suggest if you can find a short term accommodation, let's say 1-3 months that would be good as you can familiarise the new environment, gauge which suburb suits you and you have the time to build up your profile for rental applications like payslip, bank statement, phone bill.

Hi po, question po on item 2. Pano if coming to Au na wala pa work? ano yung pwedeng reference na iprovide sa lessor?

Then regarding item 2 po, via snail mail po ba ung card? Kasi pano if via hotel/airbnb ung initial accommodation, Or kukuhanin sa bank un card mismo?

Thanks po 🙂

Hello po. Sa mga recently nagPDOS/CFO (OF-CORS) registration, ask ko lang po sana kung gano po katagal kayo bago nakareceive ng email with confirmation link? Thanks po.

Ano po ang recommended banks for incoming migrants? Ok daw po ang westpac kasi walang account keeping fee? Pero madami ako kakilala na naka-ANZ. Any insights po? Thank you.

lunarcat

Good day po @hrrivs, I am using westpac at the moment. If you are under 29, waive yong $5 na account fee. They started billing me $5 nong time na nag 30 na, pero i maintain at least $2,000 each month, para ma waive yong account fee.

https://www.westpac.com.au/personal-banking/bank-accounts/transaction/choice/

Most of my friends, they are using commbank due to perks.. Nakakuha sila agad ng cc after a year, and more perks pa check lang sa official website. ANZ din sa mga friends ko na galing ACN..

Thank you po sa info. Nag-open na po ako ng bank account sa Westpac kanina. I was assisted by a Filipina which made the process easier. 🙂

Ok, thank you. Worry ko lang kasi baka hingan na kagad ako ng AU address eh hindi pa naman talaga ako magmomove dun. Ang intention lang is to meet yung stipulated first entry date.

ganito din sana gagawin ko pero after nag first entry ka mga ilan months kaya dapat mag big move na para hindi maaapektuhan ang citizenship application?

Hi po. Are there documents na nirequire sa Au (either for rental/employment/school) na need ipa-apostille po?

It took 1 day para mareceive ko yung email. Pero meron ding right after registration may email kagad.

jjanine

Ok thank you so much po. I actually emailed din yung tech support nila and idk na may memo na pala sila na hindi advisable na yahoo acoount ang gamitin for registration due to some technical issues. 😅

@ga2au Thank you po ulit sa mga inputs. We finally received our grant.

My TB history din po ako ang helpful yung mga info nyo. Regarding po sa form 815 health undertaking, Nakapagpa schedule po ba kayo ng agad ng check-up pagdating ng AU? may waiting time po ba like weeks?

Plan kase namin mag entry for 2 weeks (before big move) so need to check kung kakayanin magmedical pagdating dun.

Please help advise po.
