    oo nga pala if meron dito galing UAE, eto yung sabi ng uncle ko na matagal na sa Melbourne and it so happened na na assign cya dito sa UAE for 2 years noong 2017 to 2019. so, he gets to compare both countries based on his experience.

    nag chat kasi kami, i told my concerns about the big move.

    so he gave me the affirmations below.

    1. Aussies are generally friendly people.
    2. ANAPs(if you know what I mean) in Australia are different than the ones who are here in UAE.
    3. Mas na experience pa daw niya yung racism sa UAE kay sa Australia.

    wala lang. just sharing.. thought it would brighten up you day.

    Very true. Bihira ang racist dito and so far wala pa ako na encounter. Yan parati tanong din sakin ng mga kaibigan ko. (Hindi ba racist mga aussies? Diba direct to the point sila mang lait? etc etc)

    Mababait ang mga Indians, pero syempre may kanya kanya pading personalities/ugali bawat tao. Sabi ko nga from previous comments, matututunan mong maging kaibigan ang ibat ibang nationalities at matututunan mo din ang ibat ibang cultures.

    May respeto ang bawat isa sa kanya kanyang cultures.

    sa experience ko ang nakaka inis ay yung mga chekwa na galing mainland. Mahahalata mo naman yung raised in Aussie vs. Mainland. ANAPs and Aussies are good mates.

    Hello we are looking for a place to stay in Sydney for our big move next month. Anyone who tried renting a property while offshore? For example sa realestate.com.au required kasi ang inspection, possible ba na hindi na mag go through ng ganun. We need a place kasi upon arrival. Or mas okay ba na maghanap nalang muna ng place sa Filipino groups / shared or solo apartments / hotels before renting an apartment?

    Baka po mahirapan kayo ma approve ng lease ng property na naka ads sa realestate.com.au or domain.com.au since required talaga na nag inspection at may background/credit checks din minsan. Plus madami din kayo competition na nandito na so most likely mas pipiliin sila ng landlord.

    Try niyo po muna sa mga FB groups like pinoyau sydney. May mga pinoy din na nag papa rent ng rooms temporarily while you are looking for a permanent place, or try airbnb for the mean time.

    Hello!

    I've researched a bit pero just wanted to ask guys from Victoria the ff about applying for Vic License.
    1. Tama ba na kunin ko lang yung 3 test na nakalagay dun sa vicroads na website?
    2. Can i buy a car without Vic DL?
    3. Nag driving lessons ba kayo? Gano katagal? Been driving in PH more than 15 yrs pero kabado ako dito.

    Thanks!

    @eioj16 Happy New Year. Sa case namin, nagonline application lang kami ng savings account sa NAB (no deposit required). After ma approved via online, pwede lang magdeposit (sa amin via POSB bank international remittance). Then kapag nasa Oz na kayo pwede na ipaactivate ang account ninyo sa designated branch. At pwede na kayo mag apply ng debit card kapag may local Oz address kayo.

    Dear Kimpoy,
    Good day po.
    This is very good post and info po from you.. also gathering guidance po how to do bank deposit before BM this mid 2020.. yun pong POSB bank anung bank po yun dito sa atin? Paki advise po... I think we will also do open online acct sa NAB... POSB is which bank po?

    @se29m how did you perform po ung fund transfer? From Philippine Bank Savings account going to the Australian Bank?

    Konting cash pang dala ko nun hehe.. dineposit ko pagdating.. pwede ka transferwise or thru bank mo.. may swift code siguro na gagamitin..

    Hello Se29M,

    Makisali po dito regarding po sa pag transfer ng funds, need info po. BM po kami sa mid 2020, targeting southeastern suburbs of Mlebourne. Yun pong pag transfer through bank dito sa Philippines, how much po approximately ang fees, assuming nakapag open na ng account sa isang bangko sa Australia. Salamat po.

    We used BPI, around 1200 php fee ang charge if i remember correctly, when we did Telegraphic transfer.

    Thank you Batman Sir.. just to clarify Sir .. ang ginawa niyu from your BPI account, then TT to your Australian bank account while still outside of Australia? Kindly confirm po Sir.

    1. Tama ba na kunin ko lang yung 3 test na nakalagay dun sa vicroads na website?
    2. Can i buy a car without Vic DL?
    3. Nag driving lessons ba kayo? Gano katagal? Been driving in PH more than 15 yrs pero kabado ako dito.

    Thanks!

    —————
    Based to sa experience ko of converting my PH non pro licence to Vic licence.

    1. Yes 3 tests. 2 computer test and 1 practical driving test.
    2. Yes, basta may valid PH non pro licence ka but limited time lang, I reckon, 6 months lang pwede gamitin and you need to convert it to Vic Licence OR you can get learner’s licence pag napasa mo na yung 1st test BUT di ka makaka drive kapag wala kang katabing tao na may Full vic licence

    3. Yes, para familiar ako sa route. 3-4
      lessons lang back in

    4. Pero 3 years nako nag mamaneho sa Australia kaya familiar na ko sa rules at psychology of driving here. Mahalaga mag lessons para malaman mo test route and tips and techniques na rin

    More tips:

    1. During practical driving test, avoid mo i book ang school hours 8:9:30am, 2:30-4pm para less hassle. Pag dumaan ka kasi sa school zone, bumababa sa 40 ang speed at maraming nadadali dito during the exam. Pag nag 41 ang speed, fail agad.

    At syempre, mas maluwag ang kalsada din pag out of the school times.

    1. Mag practice ng mag practice ng mag practice. Especially yung parallel parking, 3-point turn at change ng lanes. Mahalaga din dito yung head check. As in Gawing habit ang head check.

    Mark 11:24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

    Sa mga nakapag try na, which is a better option in funding your Australian Bank account from the Philippines?

    A. Fund transfer from PH Bank to AU Bank (ex. BPI Dollar Account to NAB)
    B. Fund transfer using IRemit to AU Bank

    Appreciate your suggestions :)

    I’m going with iRemit ☺️

    Hi BBTOT, good day ...thanks sa suggestion to go for IRemit... competitive ba AuD rates nila ? Safe po ba and I REMIT? Appreciate further inputs po. Thank you so much.

    Hi BBTOT, thank you so much po... looks like I REMIT is way to go..

    Final question po.. mag open po kami NAB very soon... pag na open na namin account sa NAB and kahit nasa Philippines pa kami, question pwede na po ba mag deposit money sa NAB account through I REMIT, kahit hindi pa kami nakarating sa Australia?.... I hope I am not confusing you with all these questions po. Thanks uli.
