Initial Entry Adelaide - what to do

MP1984

Hi, mag IE kami sa october. Wala naman ako nakitang existing post about this so tanong ko lang sana kung meron sa inyo jan may step-by-step instructions ano gagawin pag IE, specific to Adelaide.

And tanong ko din yung sa driving license. Nakita ko kasi na you need to convert within 90 days of becomming a PR. Meaning ba nyan counting starts sa IE mo? kasi mukang hindi ko maaasikaso yung driving license this october. Sa BM ko pa siya magagawa which will be Feb 2018 pa for us. (May Singapore driving license ako).

Salamat sa magttyaga sumagot haha 🙂

Hello..not sure din kung from the date of your IE ung sa driver's license.

Meron ka na ba license sa SG? If meron, madali lang naman iconvert. Kakaconvert ko lang. It took mostly an hour.

So if you have SG Driver's license and you have a few hrs to spend in South Australia, I suggest iconvert mo na.

Although ang impact lang naman ata if you were not able to convert it within 90 days ay hindi ka pwede magdrive. Pwede mo pa naman iconvert after 90 days.

open bank account - NAB, Westpac, ANZ or CBA

What I meant was, you are allowed to drive using your foreign driver's license for 90 days. After the 90 day period, if you are a PR, you'll have to convert your foreign license to AU license.

Hi @MP1984 Adelaide din po Ang ied Nyo? November nman po ako Pero Sydney, sg based din ako sir. Nice to hear na mjo Madame na din sg based na going to SA/Adelaide.

MP1984

@vampwyr2001 - adelaide BM namin pero etong October IE pasyal din muna Sydney-Melbourne-Adelaide. kelan BM nyo sir?

MP1984

Reporting lang...Kakabalik lang namin from IE, grabe sobrang ganda ng OZ. excited na kami magBM. If time and budget allows, magandang idea talaga mag IE to get a feel of OZ bago mag BM. Yung akala naming high cost of living, same lang pala sa SG if not mas mura pa nga yung ibang bilihin. Eating out sa restos, halos same lang din. Mas mahal lang yata ng konti yung fastfood.

As long as your BM date is on/before the required entry date na nakalagay sa visa niyo, ayos lang.
