Hi Guys..

May mga tanong lang sana ako 🙂

IED ko is October 19, 2018 ok lang ba ang entry ko is 2 months before the IED? Sa August 2018 ang plano ko.
Kailangan pa bang magpa visa stamp sa AU embassy?
Sa pagpasok namin sa Australia anong mga hihingin nang AU immigration? Grant letter at passport lang ba?
Sa Pinas immigration kailangan ang PDOS/CFO stamp diba? Pero nasa SG po akong ngayon.
Ang passport ko pala is expiring sa April 2019. If mag BM ako sa August mga 7 or 8 months sa expiration date. OK lang ba to? kasi ang tagal magpapa renew ng passport ngayon or mag request ako ng 2 years extension ng passport ko at sa Australia nalang akong mag re-renew ng passport. What do you think?

Salamat sa sasagot 🙂

@carlo77

2 months before walang problema. wag lang after IED
Nope
Just bring your grant letter and passport.
If galing SG, no need for CFO stamp
More than 6 months ok lang pero pwede ka na rin mag renew na ng passport asap.

@carlo77 actually passport mo lang ibibigay sa AU immigration. Automatic maveverify na nila visa mo.

Mas matagal pa verification ng immigration dito sa pinas.

@carlo77

ito ba ung IE date na bngay sau? if yes anytime before this date pwede ka mag IE or mag BM na... meaning until October 9, 2018 ang bngay nila date pra ma activate na ung Visa mo.
No need to have Visa Stamp from AU Embassy kasi electronic na cla...nsa system na nila ung Passport mo.
actually nun nag IE kme wla nman hiningi na documents kasi nsa system n nga nila.. pero wla nman mawawala if mag print-out kau ng Grant Letters nio, and maggmit nio den nman ito sa pag process nio like Bank.
if from SG no need ng PDOS/CFO | if galing ka pinas need ng PDOS/CFO.
Kung ako, mas maganda cgro if mag renew ka na sa Pinas or SG before ka mag BM pra wla ka na icipin if ma question passport mo.

Optus, Vodafone, Telstra
Buy a pass for public transport.
Opal card for Sydney and surrounding areas
Myki pass for Melbourne and regional Victoria

Update your kid's vaccination details in Australian records.

Visit a GP and present your immunization book. The GP will register/ update records in Australian Immunisation Register (AIR).

https://beta.health.gov.au/topics/immunisation/health-professionals/immunisation-history-statements

Set up auto top up facility for your card.

Auto top up is nothing but a facility whereby your bank account is linked to your travel pass. So whenever your card balance is about to reach zero, it will automatically be recharged with the amount you specified by debiting your bank account.
