<blockquote class="Quote" rel="lethologically">@wanderer thanks sa inputs! I opened a NAB Classic account. Didn't know that the default card was only EFTPOS. I assumed Visa Debit kasi yun yung nakalagay sa account info sa website. Now I know to request for it when I meet with the banker next week 🙂
For the arrival stamp (not the visa label), just thought I would confirm kasi specific siya naka-state doon sa NAB welcome email : You’ll need to bring your passport with you – and <i class="Italic">it will need to have been stamped by Australian Immigration, so you have proof of when you entered Australia.</i>
May email din yung banker with the info: If your passport hasn’t been stamped on arrival in Australia, you will need to provide supporting evidence of your immigration status. This can be in the form of:
· a letter from the Department of Immigration & Citizenship (DIAC) confirming your arrival;
OR
· a “Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO)” check issued by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection.
I checked VEVO and they only change status from Offshore to Onshore once naka-IED na. It doesn't show when you actually arrived. But boarding pass as supporting document is enough? Medyo weird kasi lumang info yata yung na-copy/paste ng banker since still referring to DIAC instead of DHA na.
Thanks! </blockquote>
Don't you worry that much :-) Bring your visa grant letter, orig passport, NAB welcome letter, and boarding pass. That would be enough.
About the eftpos card, that was my experience and for some people I know who moved to Melbourne this year.
