    HI Guys! Maybe natanong na to dito sa thread. ask ko nalang ulit..

    ano mga requirements sa ating Philippine Government para maka labas ng matiwasay sa ating mga Airport. Visa Subclass 190 Holder po kami 3 ng family ko. thanks po.

    From what I read here, PDOS (Pre-departure Orientation Seminar).

    It wouldn’t hurt if you also have your grant letters printed and ready to show to our immigration officers.

    If I were you po mas okay na mag open na kayo agad ng account. And baba po ng AUD ngaun so much better mag papalit na para pag tumaas ulit value eh kumita pa kayo. tama ba ako? or baligtad? lol

    Parang nakakahinayang ngang mag padala sa pinas ngaun ang baba ng aud. Dumating ako ng 39 ngaun 33+ nalang. :(

    @ali0522 pede naman kau mag pakasal.. mapwera lang kung may tututol.. hehehe same padin namna ang names nio sa mga travel documents nio like yung passport/ visa.. etc,,, if schedule ang need, baka sa aussie nio na maayos yung mga papers nio.... if mag pakasal kau sa pinas them register sa pSA, mga 2months cguro bago marelease yung PSA Marraige contract nio. pero meron nman nung signed na marriage contract na pede nio na din magamit...

    Or pede din naman sa Aussie na kayo magpakasal, yun nga lang limited ang family members na makaka attend sa kasal nio.. same din, dun nio na maayos ang papers nio....

    kami ng asawa ko kasal, may marriage cert na kami... nag apply kami visa kasal na pero di pa xa nag papalit ng name sa passport.so magkaiba pa din ang apelido namen... same same padin naman, kasal pa din.

    Bili na po kayo direct AUD sa pinas habang mababa ang palitan ng AUD. Para if ever tumaas value by next couple of months eh kumita kayo.

    Mine will be in 2021, and I still got plenty of time to decide my course and campus, but um, is reading reviews on Homely a good idea or not? Or are the negative reviewers just with a chip on their shoulders and untrustable dahil they wouldn't know a bad area if it slapped them in the face dahil 'di naman sila galing sa third-world country?

    Tips in looking for a house? I'm here in Melbourne.

    Next phase ka na bro! mukang masaya ang pasko at magiging bagong taon mo! hehe

    When I was searching for a house ang cinonsider ko is dapat medyo walking distance sa school or at least sa bus stop na papunta sa school. Yun kasi ang mahirap sa mga anak or sa mag hahatid kung araw araw malayo ang lalakarin lalo na pag summer at winter.

    Kapag may nakuha ka na place inspect mo maigi yung mga defects at picturan mo hangat maari at inform sa landlord or agent para incase na lilipat kayo eh hindi sabihing kayo nakasira etc. kasi ibabawas sa bond niyo yun.

    Good luck sa house hunting!

    Good day Fellow Forum Members,

    Pasali po sa thread na ito... Big Move din po sa mid 2020, preferably SE Melb suburbs around Narre Warren or Berwick areas. Medyo malayu sa CBD but accessible naman by train based on our research. Salamat po.

    Mas okay Voda or Optus. I tried Lebara before kasi ayun ang mura pero pag pumunta sa mga probinsya na lugar wala na data hahaha yung Voda meron pa rin.
