Hi everyone, I got the visa grant two weeks ago and it says we need to be there before October 6 so I guess dito na ako sa thread na to naman mag lalagi.

Anyway, I have a question about the cfo seminar. I have two kids ages 11 and 5, looks like I don't need to bring them to the seminar right? But I need to register them in the cfo site? Magulo kasi yung flow nung registration, may option to register a family member pero it takes you back to the beginning as if you are registering a completely new individual.

And kudos to pinoyau.info for the recent website updates, very relaxing yung layout

Just bring your children's passport and other docs ok na yun.

Cool, thanks!

Hello good day po sa lahat. Tanong lang po ako sa nakakaalam, na grant na po kasi visa namin at initial entry namin ay August 15,2019. Okay lang po ba na mag first entry kami ng family ko before August 15 then uwi after 1 week? Then big move na lang by january next year kasi tatapusin pa sana ng hubby ko contract nya sa Saudi. Wala po bang magiging problema sa immigration if uuwi kami after 1 week sa August? Thank you in advance.

Dito sa Vic, around $80 for a 3yr license and 270+ for 10yrs. Might be a bit different sa ibang states, check mo lang yung rates sa website ng respective state road/traffic authority > @jayson17 said:

Hi @jaf19f base sa exp namin, nag initial entry kami nung April tas a week after, nag NZ kami, tas nag entry ulit to AU for 3 days, tas uwi ulit to SG. BM namin sa August So i think wala problema as long as maka punta kayo ng AU before the dates na sinabi ng immig na dapat mag entry na kayo.

Hope this helps.

@jaf19f that's OK. If you enter Australia (any state) then you already fulfill your initial entry. Goodluck!

Hi All.
Nung first job niyo dito sa AU, nag-depend lang din ba kayo sa i-nnominate ng employer niyo para sa Superannuation?

NO, you have the choice to go with the super you want.

Thank you for responding @agentKams. I saw there are plenty of options, which do you think is the most ideal/recommendable to choose? I think pede din daw mag-switch eventually.

ClmOptimist

Another question po. May AAP International Driving permit po ako expiring May 2020. 6 months ko lang din po ba pede magamit sa Victoria un? or as long as the permit is valid? Sabi po kasi sa Victoria, 6 months for "overseas license", not sure if the same rules apply for International Driving permit.

Thank you.

Hello po last minute question. May available po ba na Tanduay Rhum sa Duty free ng domestic airports like Sunshine Coast? Better po ba if sa Sydney Airport bumili tapos dala ko siya sa connecting flight? Is it still considered duty free?

Thanks sa sasagot.

Salamat @lecia @yosh10 @carlosau

penge naman opinion guys, wise ba to IE for 3 weeks to scout where we can rent? tapos balik uli after a few months for BM? medyo mahal din flight for the 3 of us, 40k each (return yan) kaya napapaisip kami if BM na agad kaso nakakabigla hehehe

I was thinking of the same thing, go there and scout but going back again would prove costly so I guess we'll just go all the way.

If mag-Big Move na po, pwede na po kaya i-withdraw yung pag-ibig contribution, philhealth at sss contribution?

Pagibig lang ang pwedeng mawithdraw. Punta ka lang sa pagibig and request for consolidation and withdrawal. Yung SSS mo, if may pending kang loan, kelangan mo bayaran ng kumpleto. SSS, wala kang makukuwa dun.

Hi Guys!

Finally booked our flight to Melb for my BM and yung IE nung mag ina ko. Question is, is it possible to rent a place na without having a job? Let's say 3 months lang? Or talagang ang option ko is to rent an airbnb since, as I have read here, mahihirapan ako maghanap ng rental without having a job?

Thanks in advance!

ms_ane

congrats boss @carlosau hanep isa isa na tayong nag BM nakakatuwa naman!
regarding sa question mo baka may chance ka to rent a room pero pag entire home baka mahirap.
if ikaw palang while looking for a job, shared space nalang sa airbnb (may mga nakita ako)
try mo mga nakapost sa fb page na Pinoys in melbourne yata yun
