For those who did their BM already, more or less how much AUD cash did you bring?

Since I heard almost cashless na sa Au, I was planning to bring $1500 - $2500 AUD (for a couple) upon arrival. The rest will be processed thru bank transfer.
Iniisip po namin cash lang for myki card, sim, and rental fee for at least a month.
TIA for your advice.

Parang ok lang yang amount na yan for cash (though kami hindi nagdala at all, galing kami SG but I dont think it matters). Sabi nga ni @whimpee yung 1st payment sa rent (and bond - security deposit commonly satin yan) dito once you have secured a property is through bank na. yung samin ay BPAY (it's their bills payment system here).

Bili agad ng SIM, yan ang unang una nyo gawin. Sobrang halaga kasi ng local number dito (sana makakuha kayo ng maganda at madali memorise hahaha di ka kasi makakapili e, lalo bibilhin mo lang sa supermarket or convenience store, di ko lang alam sa airport. naka chamba naman kami na maganda lol). Halos lahat you need to link to your mobile number. Next priority, bank account para makapag wire transfer na agad. Laking tulong pag may laman ang local bank acct ng pera sa home hunting. Dun kasi sa 100-pt ID system nila dito, that includes Proof of Balance. Proof that you have enough money to pay for your rental. Mas ok sana kung may work na pagdating dito para mas malakas yung application nyo, pero kung wala talaga, daanin na lang sa laman ng account hehe.

Dito kami naghanap ng bahay pala: https://www.tenantapp.com.au/ and https://www.realestate.com.au/

Tandem sila. 🙂

Kung mag AirBnb kayo sa unang month nyo here, ask your host if they can allow you to receive mails. Yung debit card kasi ipapadala yun, so need upon account opening ng local address (which is normal naman lol).

Thanks @_sebodemacho how long po pala bago kayo nakasecure ng rental property?

Yung bank statement Au local bank not PH bank po? Or pwede rin PH bank?

Shared house muna inavail namin for almost 2 months stay. Planning to secure rental property pag may work na kami para mailapit namin sa kung saan work namin.

Yung Proof of Balance / Bank Statement mas ok kung AU bank na. Syempre, naturally you will be paying rent in AUD, so they would prefer the AU bank. 🙂

Luckily, it took us just 2 wks. Sakto we received the good news that we secured the property on our 2nd week (nitong Monday lang 28 Nov). Waiting na lang kami ng handover next week. 😃

Ang approach kasi namin, once may magustuhan register agad for viewing. Pag gustong gusto na after viewing, apply na agad. Mabilis kasi nawawala yung mga napupusuan namin, pansin ko lang rin. Though, itong nakuha namin this is our first and only application that we did. Tapos approved agad.

wow. congrats po! if you could share more tips on this please. If I may also ask, magkano rin po kuha ninyo sa unit, what type of unit/house at usually how many months po ang advance and bond na hinihingi? para mapaghandaan din po sana namin. 🙂

Common practice is 4 weeks bond plus 2 weeks advance. Yung bond ay sa isang government agency binabayaran para hindi itakbo ng landlord. Tama yung sinabi ni @_sebodemacho, pag nagustuhan, apply agad kasi pag maghintay ka, mauunahan ka.

Hi Everyone. I just received my PR Visa SB 189 this November. I immediately attended CFO/PDOS and got the digital certificate. During the seminar, they shared the list of requirements to present to PH immigration. Ok lang po paki verify for those who have made the BM post-September 2023 (new immigration guidelines)?

Passport - valid more than 6 months

Visa/Residence Card -> eVisa via VEVO

CFO Document - Digital Certificate
4. Airline Ticket - 1 way or round trip?

etravel.gov.ph eTravel Departure card - Select "Emigrant"

Travel Tax - TEZA

Other Visa docs. Visa Grant Letter Australia.

Airline Passenger Profile Declaration Form (airline) TBD, depends on the airline.

BOI - Travel Declaration and acceptance of Terms and Risks Form - download from Buereau of Immigration

Traze QR Code - traze.ph. Contact Tracing or Malasakit Helpdesk.
11. Declaration of Funds. PH BSP Annex K Form. PH Entry and Exit. USD 10K threshold.

Hiningan po ba kayo ng PH Immigration ng Currency Declaration Form PH BSP Annex K? Less than 10,000 USD po dadalhin ko.
Answer:

Since you're already PR, one way ticket is okay.

No need travel insurance.

Ipakita mo ang Printed CFO certificate (very important) and Visa Grant Document.

Medicare, Aus Bank, you may process later once nandito kana Aus.
Congrats!

Pag dito na sa Aus na grant ang PR, do I still need CFO? Been here since Feb 2019 on an SV, uwi ako in 2 weeks so I wanna know if need to pabalik. Di sya hinanap nung umuwi ako last June on 491 e

Ella

Hello po, hingi po sana ako ng help.

Nag pa assess po ako sa Agency and per there initial assessment Ung school ko daw po ng Undergrad (FEU Diliman) Section 3 and ng MBA (NCBA QC) Section 2 po dito sa Pinas is nasa Section 3 and po need to obtain a degree related to your work experience in a Section 1 university to be automatically comparable to AQF Bachelor’s Degree and gain post-qualification experience. I am not a CPA but have experience with finance/investment banking/investment/Accounts Payable. May other way pa po ba to get 15 points sa education po, and to be eligible to apply for 189 visa? And may forum po ba ng ng DIY po here.

fotfot

Hello tanong ko lang po kung mabilis lang ba kumuha ng CFO/PDOS? Kailangan ba talaga sya kahit mag 1 week entry lang sa Australia? Salamat.

Mabilis lang po ang pag release ng CFO, after seminar and once makapagbayad na, immediately they will email po ang certificate. Need to book your appointment thru online before 7am in the morning. 50 slot lang po per day ang pwede mag register. One successful registration, wait for officer na magemail po regarding sa available schedule. You can do it anytime naman po and dont need to wait near your flight schedules. Depende po kasi sa availability ng schedules at baka po magahol kayo.. Hope it helps.

Sol_Au

Hi Guys, for those who recently had their BM, anong airline kayo nagbook? I read before na Qantas would be better because of the baggage allowance pero would like to get your inputs. Wala kasi akong nakikita so far na puro Cebpac lang, mostly will have to transfer to another airline during the layovers. Thanks!

Hello MLBS, I don't have a concrete answer on this. But I found a post from other thread. Different scenario but this may relate to your inquiry.

All the best.

Hello, CFO-PDOS question para sa mga nakagawa na, if wala pa address sa Au, anong ilalagay dun sa country of destination address and contact number fields? Pwede bang 'n/a' lang? Salamats

dumperworthy

Hello thank you po sa mga sagot. Another question, do I need an NBI Clearance for PH Immigration?

dumperworthy

Sorry 2 more questions.

Need ba sa PH immigration ng proof of address in Australia?
Ok lang ba na may employer pa ako sa PH while migrating to Australia (remote work muna until I find a job)?

@dumperworthy said:

No, you don't need NBI clearance. It would be unusual for an immigration officer to look for it, just like if they ask for your birth certificate, yearbook, etc.

Hi ako nilagay ko lang ung city, in my case Melbourne 3000, then idodouble check nmn yan sa counter sa cfo,. Sabihin mo lng n wala pa permanent address and naghhanp pa

UPDATE: Pwede kayong mag register ng Medicare online through myGov linked services (not sure whether someone posted about this already). Of course, dapat may myGov ka muna 🙂

When you try linking Medicare in myGov for the first time, it will give you an option to enrol from there.

The online form will ask for your passport and visa grant letter only. Once the form is submitted, you can track the application in myGov as well.

After 1 day, my application was approved, and the Medicare card number is provided to me in myGov right away. This is really good for those who need to immediately avail medical services because there is no need to call Medicare and get the card number.

The physical card will be delivered in 3-4wks. Will post another update once it's delivered. 🙂

EDIT 1: Applicable to PR visa holders only (189, 190, etc).

EDIT 2: After 1.5wks, my physical card arrived. Success! 😃
