patulong naman po. until now d ko pa rin sure kung paano magdadala ng money sa AU.
parang si @Khorups ata ng funds transfer from overseas bank to AU bank pero di ko pa po sure yung process na ito. can you guys enlighten me please?
may nabasa din ako na delikado magdala ng big amount of AU Cash so ayoko naman itake yung risk na yun.
Tama po ba etong steps na ito?
Open an account online while still here in the Philippines (NAB) - Free of charge po ba ito?
Ipaconvert ang pera from Peso to AUD
Itransfer ang pera in AUD sa NAB (<b>pero paano po ittransfer sa NAB?)</b>
Then during our flight to AU, magdala lang po ng enough money and wag magdadala ng malaking amount?

Step 1 is correct; look at the fine print of the account that you are opening, malalaman mo doon if may account maintenance fee or wala. But as per my knowledge naman kasi, the accounts that are offered specifically for migrants are without fees naman. (mine was NAB i-savers and CBA Goal Saver)
Step 2 and 3 are done simultaneously; sa source account mo ng PHP, ask your bank to do a telegraphic transfer (also known as TT), in order to do this, kailangan mo ng account details sa Australian bank mo - this should be given once you have done step 1. Anyhow, your Phil bank will give you the FX rate and the corresponding fees, tanunging ka ilang milyon ang ipadala mo. Execute the transaction and it should be good...
After say 3 days, confirm mo nalang sa relationship manager mo in Australia if the amount was already credited to your account. Ayun, ayus na!!
Although there is no problem naman in bringing a huge amount of money, as much as possible iniiwasan ko ito as there is always a possibility na mawala mo ito. Ako for instance, I just brought around 2K in cash. All the rest were already TT'ed months back. <b>BASTA IF EVER YOU DECIDE TO BRING MORE THAN 10K, always declare sa Pinas, sa transit point mo and sa entry point mo in Australia. </b> If you don't declare and makita nila when they do a random check, I will not be surprise if they will confiscate your money... 🙂
All the best!</blockquote>
