Hello po, saan okay mag hanap ng house for rent? Still undecided if I'll go for NSW or in WA.

I live in WA and my partner used to live in NSW before coming here. Malaki daw difference ng rent dito, mas mura daw sa WA. For reference, we rent a 4 bedroom 2 storey house for 550 a week. Wala daw ganyang price sa NSW

Mahirap po ba maka hanap ng house sa WA?

Currently, super hirap. May napapakita na akong employment history and willing din ako magbayad ng rent months in advance pero di pa rin ako nakukuha. Sa house viewing, parang 10 parties ang interested in 15 mins lang. Mga citizen pa yun so anong laban ko haha. Nakuha ko lang tong place ko kasi may nafriend kaming agent by chance. Pero sa normal application wala ako napala. 1 month akong naghouse viewing halos everyday to no avail

Saan ka muna nag stay while looking for a house? Are you with your family? How about sa job hunting, challenging din po ba?

I was staying in a room with housemates before looking for my own place. Sa job hunting kanya kanyang exp yan so mahirap magsabi, combination of skill and opportunity yan e.

Kung bahay hinahanap mo asap magiging mahirap yan because of the market nowadays. Pag mga room stay marami nag aadvertise sa fb

@dream.BIG

When you apply for a house here you will need to provide several references including your employer & current property agent or landlord. Kapag bago palang dito, yung references will be a bit of a problem sa house application. So it helps din na magshare house muna para magkaroon ka ng reference. Make sure lang na yung matitirahan mo bibigyan ka ng reference. Yung iba kasi hindi helpful pagdating sa ganyan.

Hello po, nag-eexpire po ba yung CFO? Pwede ba siyang kunin kahit mga 7 months pa yung alis? Thank you.

Good morning.

Meron po bang existing list or guidelines para sa Big Move. Plano po namin ng partner ko to arrive to Melbourne ng January 2023.

Nope but need CFO certificate/CFO sticker. Meron na silang online seminar.

Hi. For visa 491 holders out there, need pa ba ipaconvert ang PH drivers license to Aus? Meron bang grace period to use PH drivers license for time being? Thank you.

The rules vary per state. In SA you can drive using your PH license for as long as your license hasn't expired and your PR hasn't been granted. Once your PR has been granted, you have 3 months to pass the tests needed to obtain a full license. Regardless of state, walang direct conversion of the PH license to an AU license. You need to pass the theory, hazard perception & vehicle on road tests in order to get a full AU license.

Hello guys! Kakareceive ko lang ng 190 grant at andito pa ako sa UAE. Ask ko sana kung meron sa inyo naka-pagapply ng medicare ng nasa labas ng Australia? or pwde ba un? Anu ung mga requirements na kelangan? Tapos ung processing ay ilang weeks / araw? Nakita ko ung form tapos required nya ng address. Kelan kaya ang best time to apply? Plan namin magmove Q1 2023. Thanks in advance

Ako lang, I think better pag naka lipat ka na. Anyway, yung medicare app, same day naman. So pag apply mo, after ng application mo, gagana na yun app, so may medicare number ka na at digital card. takbo na agad yun. Parang ang hirap kasi, if wala ka pa dito, saan nila papadala yung physical card. Tapos when you apply, kailangan ng phone number and bank account details. maganda if meron ka na nung mga yun before you apply. ako lang naman

Hello po!
Ask ko lang po if kelangan pa ng CFO papuntang AU kung hindi naman po kami manggagaling sa Pinas? SG po kasi ang country of departure namin.

May I know po if ano ang mga requirements sa first entry? Except sa passport and grant letter po. Thank you in advance sa sasagot. 🙏🏻😊

Hello po. Sa mga nagrequest ng CFO sticker. How to fill-up ang fields regarding Address and contact number of destination. I have no contact and place to stay pa sa AUS.

Hello guys!

Tanong ko lang po if paano magtransfer from BDO account (PHP Peso) to Commonwealth Bank (AUD), pwede po ba magtransfer?

Or kailangan ko po muna mag withdraw from BDO then deposit nalang sa Commonwealth account?

Thank you!

I think pde ka nman mgdala ng cash in excess of 10k. You just have to declare and provide evidence ng source of money. Pde dn bank transfers im not sure with bdo pero majority allows nman transfer to international bank thou with limit nga lang or bka you could explore remitly.

This is rather risky. Posible kang i-question and pag hinalaang sangkot sa money laundering kung mag dadala ka ng excess 10K. Pwede mo namang ma access ang Ph bank account mo on your mobile (provided you have the app) when your Ph sim has activated its roaming status. Saka mo ma transfer ang pera mo to your Aus bank.

Hindi ko po option yung bringing more 10k kasi dami pang tatanungin. Were planning on bring 8k cash max. Then ung the rest baka I transfer nlang namin thru bank. Safest way for us

Valid nman but we we’re able to do this naman for business without no issues same as with our friend who recently migrated sa AU. They had no issues dn nman you just have to bring proofs nga lang.if you’re traveling as tourist for sure mas mainit sa mata nila but they’ll see nman sa visa mo na migrating ka na and most likely first entry pa. But yeah the risk is still there. Just do what your comfortable with. Goodluck!
