BIG MOVE

mariusinbrisbane

Just to add dun sa tips, I actually got a lot of interviews from good companies. I was even interviewed for ABC Australia haha! As in, when you really take your time and just be patient with things, makukuha mo yung mga quality ones.

Kung hindi naman kayo nagmamadali lumipad kaagad sa Australia, try finding a job while overseas muna. Know your worth and start from there. :smiley:

Excited to have my big move this coming July 3 in Melbourne!!! Sa mga bago lang din po or sa mga gustong makipagfriends, I'm very willing to meet and have a cup of coffee kasi magisa lang din ako haha! Sa CBD area po ako titira so pm me po if you want to hang out!!! :smile:

Finally, so happy for you!! 🫶🏼 If you don't mind sharing, did you resign na from your job and have a place lined up na sa Melby? 😊

Salamat po! Happy for us, indeed! I actually got laid off the day after I got my visa haha! Hindi siya dahil sa visa pero nagka-massive layoff kami sa company -- very timely!

Then after a month of job hunting, nakasecure ako ng full time work while here pa sa Pinas. May airbnb na din po ako na pagsstayan for 2 weeks then dun sa 2 weeks na yun, mag aapartment hunting na ako. :smiley:
Congrats! This is the ideal scenario talaga and ng-align lahat talaga for you. We’re happy for you. Hopefully you can share how you did it and anong field of work mo dito sa pinas and anong work nkuha mo sa Au.

Maraming salamat po! I work in the analytics industry (IT). Yung work po na nakuha ko sa AU is Data Analyst. :smiley:

Wow what lucky timing - this means you are getting severance pay during this whole time before going to AU right? Ang ganda ng situation haha

Yes po exactly HAHA! I got severance pay + final pay + even the company laptop sa amin na haha! Grabe talaga ang galing ni universe, siya na nagbigay ng pocket money sa akin haha!

Hi @mariusinbrisbane congrats! Just want to ask san ka naghanap ng work? Naginterview sila kahit wala ka pa sa australia? Tips naman on pano ka nakahanap ng work kahit offshore ka pa. Thanks in advance!

Salamat po! Sa LinkedIn ko lang po siya nahanap. Startup IT company sila based mismo sa CBD. Actually hindi sila talaga nagiinterview remotely pero for some reason when they saw my portfolio and resume, they decided to proceed with my application. Nalaman naman nilang PR na ako so mas may assurance sila. Plus, I told them na once I secure a job, magbbook kaagad ako ng flight depending on my start date.
Regarding the tips, I actually consulted an HR based in Brisbane na pinay din na nakilala ko sa LinkedIn. Ang tips niya:

Ilagay sa pinakataas na part ng resume yung work rights/visa mo and indicate na PR ka na kaagad, if PR visa ka.

Sign up your number in Whatsapp and indicate na may Whatsapp na associated sa cellphone number mo. Dun ako mostly tinawagan ng employers. Dun ko nalaman na that method works haha!

Instead of your address in the Philippines, ilagay na kaagad yung city and state sa Australia as your location. For example sa akin, taga Cavite ako, pero sa resume nilagay ko na "Melbourne, Australia"

In your cover letter, specify na you're still overseas and you're planning to fly to Australia once you secure a job. Also specify your work rights/visa sa cover letter. Make sure na yung mga information na yun nasa pinakabungad na part.
After doing all of these tips, after 2-3 weeks of continuously submitting, nakakuha na ako ng mga calls from employers and dun na ako nagstart with my interviews. Sana po makahelp! :smiley:

Woohooo! Ayan na syaaa~

Salamat sa tips!

Galingan mo dun, best of luck sa BM! <3

Hello po, sa mga nag big move po recently under 189 visa, hinanapan po ba kayo ng travel insurance sa immigration dito po Ph? Thanks po.

Flight ko po last > @reinrein2022 said:

Hi all,
Congrats sa mga na-grant and gooduck sa mga waiting 🙂

Thanks din po sa mga shared tips sa whole process ng DIY visa. 🙂
Granted na po kami sa 189 Visa (me and my husband) last 12 April.

We are planning to stay in Europe for a maximum of 2 years. Lipad po kami this end of May to Europe. For the 1st entry sa Aus, kelangan namin pumasok within a year. Magvisit po kami sa Aus this May (1 week lang). Medyo hindi lang po kami sure sa mga ito:

May kelangan pa po ba kami dalin sa airport aside sa letter from Immi? Or may kelangan po ba kmai gawin dun sa Immiaccount?

May kelangan po ba kami na inotify regarding sa pagmove namin to Europe for 2 years? Like change of address and work situations?

Salamat po! 🙂

Hello @reinrein2022 . Share ko lang po yung naging experience ko last month. April 10 flight ko papuntang Sydney ito hiningi sakin sa airport ng IO.

Valid passport (at least 6 mos validity)

IMMI grant letter

PDOS sticker (naka-stamp na sa passport by CFO officer)

PH departure card

Plane ticket and boarding pass
Additional document na pinakita ko:

VEVO visa check details (printed copy)
Hahanapin po talaga yang PDOS sticker. Mabilis lang naman po ako sa IO mga 1 min lang. 189 din visa ko.

Hello! Ano po yung PH Departure Card?

MACINOZ2023

@mariusinbrisbane Congratulations, truly deserving, isa ka sa mga Members na di ko makakalimutan ang journey. 🙂

Exempted po ba sa travel tax yung PR visa holders? If not po, magkano po yung price niya?

Parang sa umpisa hindi pa. Unang alis mo need pa rin yata mag bayad. Someone, please confirm or correct me if I'm wrong.

Para sure rin, dala ka na lang ng extra PHP, tapos sa airport, punta ka TIEZA booth, dun masasagot nila yan.

Sa website kasi nila ito lang yung exempted: https://tieza.gov.ph/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Documentary-Requirements-for-Travel-Tax-Exemption.pdf

Specifically, 2F and 2B3 generally apply to "balikbayans".

^ I've also heard mixed cases, parang may ibang 'di na nagbayad and ibang ni-require, so I'd just err on the side of caution and do as advised above. The price would depend sa seating class mo. For economy, P1,620 lang siya. More details here: https://tieza.gov.ph/travel-tax/ 🙂 Have a safe flight next week!

Hi po! Based on firsst hand xp. Nag BM po ako last 20 April '23. First travel ko po to Au as PR SC189. Hiningi po passport and visa grant letter. I'm about to pay for travel tax sa TIEZA, pero ang binigay po sa kin is green slip which is tax exempt.

To cut short, hindi na po ako pinagbayad ng travel tax.

hanah

Hi! Congrats sa mga nagBM. Need po ba roundtrip ticket sa first timer na PR SC 189?

PR ka na, no need sa roundtrip ticket. Unlimited travel rights ka in and out of Aus.
