    @lester_lugtu,
    Provisional visa ba 457? Ako kasi 496 and nagpunta din ako CFO at naka attend nf seminar. Nung bigayan na ng passport bigla sabi ng trainor d daw pala dapat nag seminar kasi provisional visa. Ung mga OJT sa CFO hindi napansin ung visa ko. Pero OK naman din may mga info ako nakuha sa seminar.
    Kelan punta mo dito s Melbourne? San kayo dito?
    Ung mga docs, passport at visa grant hahanapin ng IO satin. Norm na ung terminal fee at travel tax kaya baon ka peso heheh. Sa IO dito Melbourne un din 2 lang. Oooppss bala jetstar airline mo be ready sa credit card hahanapin nila un s pinas airport :-)

    @Shirlie,

    Kararating ko lang yesterday dito sa melbourne. Dito ako nakareside ngaun sa room apartment ng partner ko at elsternwick. Eto hanap naman ng trabaho and wala akong gano idea paano maghahanap. Hehehe. Tama ka. Kahapon sa airport malaki kaba ko. Pero unusual lang ung nangyari skn. Pnkta ko lng ung passport at printed copy ng visa grant ko tpos tnnong ako ng io satin kung ano ggwin q d2. Ang sb q, additional aq ng same sex de facto partner ko holding a 457 visa. Tpos konting usap sila, then pinalagpas nako. Ung unusual dun eh hnd nako ngbayad ng travel tax. Tnnung ko nmn sa check in counter kung need q p mgbyad sbi nya ksma n dw sa plane ticket ko ung travel tax, which is hard to believe kc ang alam ko tlga hwlay un. Anyway, hinayaan ko na lang. Mas maganda n rn un hnd n ko ngbyad ng 1650 ata un. Pgdting q nmn melbourne, may konting inspection lng cla sa bagahe ko pero mabilis lng dn aq naka-pass. Overall, wla nmn aq gnu nging problem, thank God. This time ang challenge ko nlng eh to find a job para majustified ang pagstay ko d2. Right now, asa muna aq sa kinikita ng partner ko d2.

    @lester_lugtu - for low cost carrier like jetstar, cebu pacific, tiger, etc. hindi kasama ang travel tax however sa mga legacy carrier pwede mangyari na kasama na ang travel tax sa ticket na binayaran mo.

    Hi to all!

    First post ko to though i've been reading posts here since 2012.
    We've been granted PR visa last June 2012 pa and made initial entry to Sydney for a week last Sep 2012. Bumalik muna kami dito sa UAE to save more para sa aming "baon" but we have decided to do the Big move next year June 2015. I think may chance pa kami to save more baon kasi our visa will expire June 2017 pa but we think we would be a little older na and it could be that there will be more competition sa work by then.
    This forum is really a big help to all of us and im glad that ang dami na natin dito.
    I would be posting questions maybe next time. Wala pa kasi ako maisip na itatanong. :D

    God bless sa ating lahat! And sa mga nandyan na sa AU thanks sa help and infos na binibigay nyo dito.

    Apir!

    hi kremitz. wala pakong ticket, still looking for the cheapest hehehe... sa melbourne destination ko. im leaning towards PAL, last time i checked 19K sya 23kg + 7kg carryon baggage. pero tingin ko di enough ang baggage allowance. baka i DHL/LBC ko yung another 10-15kg. nag inquire ako sa LBC, 3K pag 10kg, 5K pag 15kg. i-check ko din mmya tigerair. kelan flight nyo? di ako masyado nkkpag check ng posts dito, busy sa work. :)

    @goreo hello po... just my two cents... sayang po yung visa nyo... baka mahirapan na po kayo to renew your visa pag natapos na yung effectivity ng current visa nyo... may residence requirement po kac cla... pag d nyo na.meet baka d na po kau tanggapin ulet... you may refer to the DIAC site for more info.

    Hi @cchamyl , thanks! pero as i understood sa visa namin (subclass 175) is we are allowed to stay indefinitely basta nasa AU na kami before magexpire. And if ever we want to go out of AU, then we would need to apply for RRV (return residence visa) and that requires residence requirement. pero ang plan naman namin ay magstay talaga kami dun until pwede na kami mag-apply ng citizenship :D .

    yes, this is correct..
    i have a friend who settled in AU with only 2 months before their visa expiration...
    ngaun 2 yrs na sila dito.. once they travelled outside of AU, they applied for RRV..
    okay nmn daw.. bayad ka nga lang.. i think approx 300-500aud for RRV..

    Hello pinoyau peepz. Ask ko lang po kung na-experience nyo na magdala ng prescription medicines sa AU? Talaga po bang up to 3 months supply lang ang pwede ipasok? At normally po ba saan ito dapat ilagay, sa check-in o hand carry luggage?
    Salamat!
