Things to do first "After" arriving in Australia

furano

@pausatio gaano ka tagal yung tfn? yung sa akin kasi nagapply ako ng mag land pero parang more than 20 days daw?

happy_gal

@furano u can apply for tfn online, I just did it yesterday and they will mail to my address my tfn within 28 days coz they will still contact the DIBP regarding my visa status. Just arrived in Australia April 7. Need also to open a bank account it's very important if your planning to work here.

<blockquote rel="engineer20">@jkk32w ask ko paano case ng husband mo na nasa oz currently. kailangan ba nya magfile ng tax return? kung oo, hindi ba ito katulad sa pinas na isang form lang ang ginagamit ng couple? pag ganun kasi madedeclare na overseas income di ba? or dapat lang ideclare na overseas income ay starting lang kelan nagrant ang PR?

pasensya na maraming tanong kasi pinaplano na mga pwedeng gawin sa weeklong initial entry trip. parang mas gusto ko pa tuloy na magapply ng TFN sa big move na lang. sana may mga cpa sa oz na pwede tumulong na iclear ito.</blockquote>

so sorry ngaun lg ako nakapag back read ulit sa mga posts. sobrang busy 😃

ung husband ko oo need nia mag file kc may income na sia. ung pinagawa ng employer nia was nag fill up sia ng tax income form then ung company na nag "take care" dko alam anong klaseng "take care" haha. so far sa dlawang sweldo nia wlapa nmn sia tax. sabi ng frends namin ung first 18k na sweldo mo sa au is not taxable. so uncguro heheh. bsta importante nag pass na sia nung form sabi dw ng HR sila na dw mag submit. but sabi nmn ng frends namin at d end of d year mag file kaparin ng annula income tax and ul get a refund if ung total deductions mo n a year is greater than what should be levied on u based on ur income/household income/expenses..etc.

mejo malabo pa sorry wlapakc ako dun sa december pa ako ehhe.

Pano magregister sa centrelink? Medicard lang ako nagparegister

Just go to any centrelink offices @se29m; as always, you probably need to bring in 100pts of identification and the likes - as to exact details I don't know as we don't register when we arrive 3 years back...

ok ito if may anak ka but if wala i don't think they can help that much especially if you are still a new migrant (less than 2 yrs in Australia).

@TasBurrfoot oh.. Sige di muna ako paregister.. Single pa lang naman ako hehehe... Thanks po..

Hi! Question po sa mga experts dyan especially ung nag initial entry lang then bumalik to another country for work. Ano ano yung ginawa niyo on your initial entry?

1.) DO I need to file TFN?

dapat ba wag muna ako kumuha para not required to submit ITR sa end ng year? kasi global taxation si AU baka may admin stuff pako gawin for ITR medj hassle If I'm still in another country.
If magapply ako ng TFN sa mismong big move na (a year or sona fter initial entry), mas mahirap nabang kumuha ng TFN? Higher cost?

2.) Bank Account

Need ko naba magopen ng account kahit i'll be leaving AU agad?
If mag open ako sa big move, mahirap naba requirements and mas mahal?

3.) Medicare and Centrelink

Do I need to do this rightwaway? I'm single so I'm not sure if I still need to register for both of this kahit na initial entry palang.

Thanks ang hope may makatulong po. Mag initial entry ako few days from now..

Based sa experience, hindi ako kumuha agad ng TFN on my initial entry last March. Though nasa Oz ka na on your initial entry, TFN will be mailed to your mailing address here in Oz. In my experience, it took 11 days before ko natanggap yung TFN.

2.) Bank Account

Need ko naba magopen ng account kahit i'll be leaving AU agad?

</blockquote>

if I'm not mistaken pwede ka magopen online ng Australian Bank account kahit wala ka pa sa Oz, then you need to inform the bank once nagmove ka na dito for your atm/debit card. Based sa experience with CAN, I opened an account online then atm/debit card was sent after 7 days with instruction on how to activate the card.

3.) Medicare and Centrelink

Do I need to do this rightwaway? I'm single so I'm not sure if I still need to register for both of this kahit na initial entry palang.

</blockquote>

I only enrolled for Medicare and received my Medicare card after 8 business days. If you'll stay here in Oz for less than 2 wks I would suggest sa big move ka na lang magregister sa Medicare 🙂

Goodluck and enjoy the land down under! 🙂

Hello question; pag 489 visa holder ba need din mag apply ng TFN, medicare and centrelink? Thanks.

jedh_g

@StarJhan as far as I know po hindi. Only PR's po ang may previlege for medicare and centrelink benefits. But of course yun pong TFN pwede po kayo non mag apply

Lex55

@jedh_g salamat sa info 🙂

engineer20

@StarJhan pag 489 visa try nyo agad kumuha ng health insurance with ambulance cover..

Lex55
