i-Remit sa Ortigas Center. $10aud ang service fee. BPI may charge you higher fees.

10aud po ang service per how much? Or kahit gano kalaki ipadala, the rate is still 10aud? Thanks

Sa mga nakapagBM na wala pang work pagdating sa AU, hindi po ba kayo nahirapan magrent or maghanap ng long term accommodation? Ano po mga hinihingi na requirements? Plan ko kasi sana magAirbnb muna sa first 2 weeks ko tapos dun pa lang ako magview ng properties. Any advice? Thanks in advance!

maguero

@KarlaD Ito yung usual na hinihingi na requirements https://raywhiteascot.com.au/rent/how-to-apply-for-a-rental-property

Depending kung saan ka, pwede maging competitive yung pagkuha ng rental unit kasi marami rin naghahanap. Kaya kailangan magustuhan ng owner yung application mo. Nagrent ako ng room for a few months tapos nung nag-apply na ako for my own flat yung landlord ko ang ginawa kong reference. Siguro mga 6-8 rejections bago ako nakakuha ng sarili kong flat.

swish19

@KarlaD when viewing magready ka na ng letter from previous landlord if nagrrent ka before kahit di sa australia - stating na meron ka good record and timely payment. Tapos if you are comfortable try to give the landlord ng bank statement - securing yung landlord na me funds ka even if wala ka pa work.

Guys, will be making our big move in less than a week sa Melbourne . Kabadong kabado na, grabe pala yung pakiramdam 😅 mas kabado kesa excited. May mga tanong sana ako please patulong:

1. May taxi ba na available 24hrs yung malalaki kasi madami kaming bagahe. Wala kasing susundo samin.

2. Meron bang mabibilhan na simcard sa airport?

3. Packing ng bagahe:

• ok lang ba na naka plastic container na maliliit ang ibang items lalo na yung mga small items like gamit ng bata at emergency medicines?
• pwede bang magdala ng Alcohol, baby oils, nail polish, acetone?
• nagdala ba kayo ng mga sinigang mix, instant coffee at favorite biscuits ng bata?

Salamat sa walang sawang pagsagot! I will be sharing our big move story once makaraos kami. 🙏🏻

Got 489 visa me and my wife and I am the main applicant. Planning to move na sa NT this April 2020.

I am aware na I have to stay for 2 yrs sa 1 designated regional area with 1 yr full time job para makapag apply soon ng 887 PR Visa. Puede ba akong magbakasyon for eg sa Pinas nito for 2 weeks annually within that 2 years? or dapat straight ur inside Aus for 2 years?

How bout my wife, for example ako yung merong stable job and naiinip wife ko and minsan gusto nyang magbakasyon sa Pinas for 2 weeks (like 3 times in a year), pero ako dirediretso lang sa Australia working? Puede ba yung ganyan?

Eligible pa din kami nyan for PR 887 visa?

Please enlighten us especially sa mga naka-experience na.

Salamat.

I'm currently based in Dubai and will be planning the BM in July.
My question is, can I open a bank account as early as today? Which banks do you recommend?
Will be staying in Sydney, btw.

tmasuncion

Good day mates!

Could someone point me to the thread where someone discussed their weekly budget in Sydney?

Example:
Room / apartment Cost
Food
Transportation
Others

You can add more points if you want.

Basically, I just wanna know how far my money can stretch based on your inputs.

Sis, mejo naloka ako sa text message mo hehe. May business husband ko sa Philippines, dinedeclare nya yong income nya both Pinas at Aus during tax season. Di ko alam kung eligible ka na sa Centrelink, alam ko binago yung rule don eh parang x years bago ka maging eligible. Double check mo pa din.
