Hello, for those who used a temporary address and had to update their address for TFN, did you call ATO?

Also, ang 491 can also register/create an account sa myGov?

Thanks!
If you already received your TFN, you can update your address in myGov. Otherwise, best to wait for the mail to arrive kasi dumadating naman agad in a week.

Hi,

I created an account sa myGov. I got my TFN already and was trying to link my ATO to myGov. Do I input the address I used when I applied for TFN as it is what is in ATO currently and then make an update after or should I provide the new address?

Also, the next page is asking what you shared with ATO, what did you select? I did not share my bank details in the application. TIA!

Hello! Just had my big move 🙂 491 SA.

Share ko lang experience ko (yun pagod ko sa pinas para na akong nakarating sa AU).

Last time I had an out of the country trip, paper pa yun travel declaration form so medyo nahirapan ako with the e-travel declaration kasi mabagal ang data ko, but nakaraos rin naman. Not sure if it can be done before the travel date but if yes, for those na bago pa lang aalis, better do it before your flight.

Immigration - yun IO na natapat sa akin was not familiar with Visa 491, hinahanapan ako ng OEC. I was asked if I had contract etc which was wala naman. He had to go inside and consult someone else then later gave me a slip to validate with DMW (inside the Immigration area). Asked the person sa may Immigration area pero pinasa rin ako sa DMW kiosk sa dulo ng airport. They just added a note sa slip na OEC is for those leaving with employers, since wala nga ako employer pa, no need for OEC. Went back to the IO then waited for another 10-15mins before finally allowed to go.

For those with 491 visa you may want to get a confirmation from DMW regarding OEC in case your IO is not familiar with your visa. Took me almost an hour to get past Immigration, buti maaga aga ako dumating sa airport.

Not sure if this is the same with all airlines flying to AU, but Qantas opened luggages (checkin and hand carry). You will not be allowed to enter the gate as you please, pipila ka muna then they'll inspect your carry ons. Water was also not allowed inside the gate.

Smooth na yun lahat pagdating sa AUS - SYD to ADL

Bought my sim na sa SYD airport.

Got my metrocard naman sa ADL airport para ready to go anywhere na once nakapagcheckin airbnb

Opened bank account

Applied for TFN

Started house inspection

Question - for those na nag-agent and then created their ImmiAccount upon arriving in AU, did you have to import all your documents? I just did mine kasi and there are already attached documents.

Also, did you update the regional address upon getting a semi/permanent address? TIA!

Hi, yes to updating address upon arrival sa immiaccount. We also had an agent and then created an account. Uploaded a few documents lang as necessary.

Hello, I tried to update the address in Immiaccount as I already have a 'semi-permanent' one, pero nagkaron ng parang action item to provide proof of residence. Did you provide this? If so, is it a contract or billing statement? TIA!

Just to share my experience, I called ATO up to get a linking code since I could not provide anything that they were asking in that page at the time. The call took almost an hour, since there was a wait to be on the line with a rep.

Merong option sa same page na yan, or before that, I dont exactly recall, to go for the linking code option. 🙂

Same sa ginawa ni @_sebodemacho, called up ATO and asked for a linking code.

Hello po, kaka big move lang po namin 491 SA ask ko sana saan po iuupdate ung address sa immi account. Wala po kaming agent nag diy kami. At anything else po na needed gawin? Do we also need to update our address sa SA site? Salamat po sa sasagot.

Under Update Details, may link to update Regional contact details.

Hello!

Question regarding Aus Post Secure PO Box:

Nakita ko kasi na pwede maglease ng PO Box via Aus Post website or app. After ko mabayaran yung PO box lease, magagamit ko na ba agad yung PO Box address para magreceive ng mail? O may additional steps (e.g. id verification, claiming of keys, etc.) na need gawin bago magamit yung PO Box?

Hi! Question po sa mga nakapagsecure na ng house rental. Nasa magkanong range po kaya ideally yung bank statement na ipapasa? Any tips? Thank you!

Walang benchmark or makakasagot ng ideal talaga. But the trick is to show you are capable of sustaining your rental most especially if you dont have a job yet. Estimate a safe amount na lang. "Safe" is a few weeks or months' worth of the rental.

Ang tahimik... kumusta pala ang rental / housing situation recently sa aus? Yung nakikita ko sa news, both syd & melb medyo mahaba ang pila sa house inspection.

Qs:

How were you able to secure a house?
Problem lang ba ito of those who want to rent the entire house but if you're renting a room, okay pa?
Almost lahat ba ng location ganito ang demand na mataas or may specific areas lang talaga?
Any tips para masecure agad yung property?
Red flag landlords if any

Sol_Au

Hello, meron ba dito who was nominated but is working remotely in a company whose office is not in the nominating state/region? My understanding is that pwede naman ito because your work address will be where you are located. If this is true, did you put your residential address sa ImmiAccount for employment details?

Visa 491 here. TIA!

I think most of these properties with long lines during inspection are located very close to CBD kaya high demand. If you go further out to the suburbs, hindi naman yata ganyan kadami, but it would still be a competitive market.

Hello po! Galing ako Pag-IBIG twice. Yesterday and today. Yesterday, nag tanong lang po ako ng documents and process. Binigyan po nila ang ng checklist so the next day bumalik ako bringing all the documents na kailangan nila. Pag dating dun, hinanapan ako ng flight itinerary kahit wala naman dun sa checklist na prinovide nila the day prior. Buti meron ako soft copy so pina print ko nalang dun. Aside from that, complete po ang documents ko. I will be flying po to Australia this coming April 26 and ang last day po ng work ko is until March 30. Sabi hindi daw po ako pwede mag process since kailangan hintayin yung impending payment ng employer ko. Did the same thing happened to you po? Or baka po meron naka encounter dito. Nakakainis kasi pumunta na nga ako kahapon to make sure na smooth na at complete na ang dala kong papers tapos attitude pa yung staff. 😅😅😅

Hi thank you for this info.
Just to share:
I just emailed pPOEA - bounced mail,
and also emailed DMW - no reply.
Haaay Philippines😖 Any advice from others who have had problems with an immigration officer who didn’t know about 491 visa? Pls share. Thank you po

Try to email rin yun sa CFO, they might be able to confirm this. Madami naman nagsasabi di required ang OEC pero yun nga, para less hassle at stress on the day of your trip, at least may nakaready kana. Much better na siguro yun kesa makipagtalo ka pa sa IO at di makaalis.

Thank yo @Sol_Au. Have emailed them and will keep everyone updated.
Hi everyone.
Just to update:
-emailed poea. No reply.
-emailed DMW. Was asked to email CFO.
-emailed CFO. Was asked to email DMW.
-emailed CFO that DMW asked to email them (CFO).
-CFO replied with email:
“Please be informed that the said visa is not required to undergo the process of the CFO. The CFO only registers permanent resident visas.”
Note that in my email I had requested for a formal letter but none was given so will just have to print and bring this email along on my flight day.
Hope this helps.
Hi - kamusta po, naka lipad po ba kayo without OEC?

dumperworthy

Hi - anyone who has 189/190 who recently emigrated? Ano po yung requirements na kinuha ni IO other than Passport, Visa Grant, and PDOS/CFO certificate?

Ano po mga questions and other requirements ng IO

Thank you!
