Migrating to Australia with high hopes

Noodles12

Question lang po sa mga nag PDOS na.

for those na wala pa address sa AU ano nilagay niyo as address?
Also for VISA type field ano ba supposedly sagot?
Type of registration form is "Emmigrant?

Also baka merong same scenario with us sa mga De facto, ano relationship with the primary applicant?

Thanks!

sino po dito sydney bound? im torn between taking a taxi to cbd and taking train from airport. kasi parang 17 each ang train fare sa adults then 12 ata for kids, so lalabas 46 AUD, nabasa ko mejo struggle ang paglabas sa train station pag may dalang luggage. eh kung konti lang difference mag taxi na kami hehehe, thanks po sa mag share ng experience

@OZingwithOZomeness ako sir na experience ko to, ma expire na kasi passport namin mag asawa, kaya nirenew namin passport ng anak ko kahit may isang taon pa. baby pa kasi sha nung kinuhanan namin ng passport as in 2 weeks old. tas para wala ng tanong tanong dahil dalawa kaming mag renew na sabit sa priority lane, isinama ko din tatay ko na senior citizen. kahit hindi kelangan ng tatay ko kinuha ko sha ng passport kesa magbayad ako sa mga agency. in that way, maiiwasan ko na palakahin ang business nyang mga nag block ng sched. meron din silang parang roaming van per city, baka dun hindi na din kelangan ng sched...

@PMPdreamer marami ba kayong bagahe? kasi kung kayang bitbitin may bus sa airport papunta ng burwood train station. ang nagpapamahal ng train fare from airport ay yung access fee which is $13.50 pero kung sa ibang train station na kayo sasakay mas mura na. pwede rin na kuha ng taxi once makalayo na ng airport taking the bus.

@engineer20 2 tig 30kg po, saka isang batang napakalikot :-) good idea po un, may idea po kayo hm ang taxi kahit estimate lang papunta cbd? thanks po ulit

@PMPdreamer usually nasa $45 up ang bayad namin sa taxi from airport to philippine consulate sa sydney, depende sa traffic.

OZingwithOZomeness

@PMPdreamer Oo nga sir parang ganun nga rin ang naging diskarte ng kaibigan ko, pamangkin naman bitbit nya hehe. Ganun nga style para ma bypass yung appointment schedule na yan na binablock ng mga agency. Sa sydney po pala kayo sir, dyan din punta ko. Magtanong ako sa inyo sir next time pag settle na kayo dyan. Mga June pa kasi ako punta dyan. Goodluck 🙂

Question po, paano yung eye exam when applying for drivers license (in NSW, if that matters)? Kung nagsusuot ng glasses may kailangan bang hingin galing sa optometrist dito sa pinas? May nakasabay kasi ako nung nagpapagawa ako ng glasses, may form siya na pinapapirmahan sa doctor tapos nakita ko may logo ng Australian government haha kaso di ko nasilip kung anong klaseng form yun. Di ko sure kung para saan 🙂)

Hello guys! ask ko sana panu kayo nag transfer o mag transfer ng fund na gagamitin nyo sa BM? Pwede na ba mag forward ng pera sa Bank na nasa oz? nabasa ko kc maximum na yung 1000 aud lng pwede na cash on hand a pag arrived sa oz?

OZingwithOZomeness

@alfonso31 Pwede ka gawa na ng account sa NAB (National Australia Bank). kahit overseas ka pwedeng pwede, transfer mo na rin funds mo upto 12months prior to arrival pwde pa rin. tapos pagdating mo doon saka mo i-collect debit card mo. Eto yung link

alfonso31

@OZingwithOZomeness bale nung nag IE ako nag open ako sa westpac yun kc ang nirefer na bank sken ng frend ko dun. Ang mali ko kc hndi ako nag apply online which is pwede pla pra pwede ko na cya makuha nung nag initial entry ako 🙁 pwede kaya dun ako mag send ng funds khit di pa cya activated ang atm?

Heprex

@alfonso31 for NAB pede eh, kahit di pa activated, pede na magtransfer to NAB. pero di mo pa magagamit sa kahit anong transaction, until makuha mo sya dun sa banker. for wespac, i think pede siguro, better check the details nung bank account na inopen mo, para sure.
