Just go to your branch of account and ask how to do a wire or a SWIFT transfer, BPI calls it "outward remittance". ANZ should give you a one-pager on what's your BSB, account number, and SWIFT code so you get the money routed properly.

NBI, kung nagka Hit na kayo before, ok kumuha na kayo ng mas maaga. Kung no-hit naman kayo dati, after ITA na lang din.
Yung Medical & Police Clearance kasi can affect when would be your Initial Entry Date. Eh usually 12months lang validity ng Medical/NBI. So pag na grant na yung visa nyo baka less than 6months na lang para sa IED nyo. Pero kung hindi naman din issue yun, you can go ahead. Personal preference ika nga
And yes tama asikasuhin nyo na yung form 80/1221
