@lock_code2004 , thank you for this. But there was no mention if the 10k is for each person or for the whole family. Also, my mom is travelling with us, on a different visa, can she bring her own 10k? regards</blockquote>
If you have doubts on this provision mate just declare... You won't be penalized naman for bringing a LOT of money basta you declare. New migrant ka pa so it won't be a problem, basta declare!! 🙂
Easiest solution sana is to wire your money to an account here in Australia; saves you the trouble of sourcing out more than 10K in bills plus you won't have to worry about losing your money.</blockquote>
I'm planning naman to wire transfer but hindi lahat, not comfortable na wala sken pera ko if you know what I mean. so I'm planning na atleast half wire transfer and half we'll bring as cash. I don't intend to put all of my eggs in one basket. Pag nagkaproblema patay na, walang pang gatas mga anak ko! I would just like to know what the rule really is. As I understand, if you declare, you must show proof pa how you acquired that money (payslip, deed of sale, etc). I just don't want to go through the hassle of proving it if it doesn't need to, I'm with my kids e baka matagal pa yung process nun, maiinip mga bata sa airport.
Anyway, most probably declare na nga lang if I really don't have a choice. Thanks for the advice!
