Hello po! sa mga nakapagBM or magBBM pa lang, can you confirm if kinailangan pa din ba ung polio vaccine certificate?

Sa mga kumuha po ng polio vaccine certificate, sa Bureau of Quarantine lang po ba pwedeng kumuha nun? Can you get it locally sa mga provinces or sa mga private clinics?

Happy new year!! Pag nagopen po ba ng NAB acct. sa online magkano ang kailangan na initial deposit? Or need ba ng may initial deposit? Since tama po ba na magaactivate lang un pag pinuntahan personal sa au.

@tmasuncion hello. dubai din po kame re steps sa BM, back read ka lang dito, tyagain nyo po mula page 1, pati yung Big Move 2019 na thread. pwede din from here, medyo luma na pero ok pa din ang info

@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.

We have been reading lots of news concerning the bushfires in Australia. Is it still safe to make the big move now? Prayers for those affected by the fire. Sobrang kawawa ang mga animals and humans around the affected areas, pati na rin ang mga firefighters. 😢

Butterfly8i8

Im following the local news and Australia is bracing for worse bushfires ahead. The summer has just started and the coming weeks will be hotter/drier. Pero push for big move lang if hindi naman affected ang area na titirhan nyo.

If you guys want to help, like donate. Here are some ways how.

Moving in a month and medyo kinakabahan ako dahil sa South Coast NSW kami mismo. Baka itawag namin sa immigration if ever kung pwedeng lumipat sa ibang area kung hindi pa talaga safe. 489 visa here btw.

I feel really sad for the innocent wildlife na namatay and sa mga firefighters 😭 Pagod na yang mga yan for sure kaya def more prayers are needed.

Hello po my wife and I just got our visa grants couple of weeks ago and we are aiming for the big move this march or april..Just want to ask if it's wise to sell our properties before we finally settle down there in AU? Is there any cons of maintaining them while residing abroad say tax wise? Thank you.

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

Sir, pag malaki po ba ang ni transfer na money sa bank account dyan, may chance na hindi na makakuha ng allowance from cetrelink? Or hindi naman sya mag matter?

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?

OK, 2022 instead. But the thing is, while I'm not scared because I know the whole story, my mom is. (Who wouldn't be if they didn't know the whole story?) So I'm really gonna delay talking about her about this.

@Ozlaz no idea if it matters, kasi wala pa kmi Centrelink benefits. 489 visa kami.

Hello po. Sa lahat Po Ng mag big move this 2020. May room/apartment na Po ba kayong nahanap sa vic? Patulong naman Po if may kilala kayo na May available room for rent pa.

Question po regarding the Centrelink registration. Clarification lang po kasi base sa mga posts here sa forum, kapag single, no need for the centrelink registration kasi wala pang kailangang benefit/ideclare? How about sa case ng couple without children pa? I'm still confused whether centrelink registration should be done na or not yet.

Additionally, sa case ng Medicare registration, can someone enlighten us po regarding sa Lifetime health cover? Kasi in our case, i've turned 31 last September and as stated sa website ng medicare, may LHC loading once magreach ng 31 or July 1 after magturn 31.

I would say I'd announce it in February, but I have a bad feeling the fires would still be in the news then.

Depende po sa area na pupuntahan niyo. Here in Sydney safe padin naman po. Yung mga fires is more on the rural area. But still yung usok at ashes at air quality is so bad.

Today malamig nanaman at forecast na uulan for a couple of days. Hopefully umulan na ng malakas lalo na sa areas na affected.
