    Hi again guys. I'm in a bit confusing situation right now. So as I mentioned before, I already hold a visa 491 (NSW regional). Last week, I already told my current employer, w/c is an Australian company based in Sydney, about my planned resignation. Pero gusto nila iextend yung employment ko with them since meron silang office in a regional area but outside of my nominating region. Yung office nila isa nasa regional area rin ng NSW, actually katabi lang ng nominating region ko.

    Question: For a visa 491 holder like me, would you recommend to accept their offer and move to a different region or should I stay and find work within my nominating region?

    If I move, would it affect my future application for visa 191?

    Hoping to hear from you guys or from someone who already moved from one regional area to another.

    not recommended but pwede kasi kapag binasa mo yung 491 visa nakalagay dun na you could stay and work to any regional area so technically pwede since yung office ng current company mo is in regional at hindi ka pa mahihirapan maghanap ng work. wala naman magiging problema sa PR application mo since nasa titira at mag work ka naman sa regional area.

    Thank you for the response. Last weekend, I have directly asked an RDA officer from my nominating region and they have responded that they allow such move. However, gusto rin nila makahanap ako sa lugar nila ng work.

    BTW, I saw your signature, is visa 887 only applies for visa 489 holders or any other skilled regional visa holders like 491?

    887 ang katuloy ng 489. Since wala na ang 489 now, the 191 visa comes after 491 so that's the equivalent ngayon.

    Yup 887 is for 489 visa holder only. yung sa 491 need mag apply ng 191 after ma comply yung condition sa residency at work in regional area.

    Dalhin mo narin proof of withdrawal from the bank
    official receipt sa foreign exchange
    yung bank statements mo kung meron.
    kung galing sa pinagbentahan sa lupa, proof rin
    kung galing rin sa sweldo mo, yung BIR Form 2316
    Form https://www.austrac.gov.au/sites/default/files/2019-06/cross_border_movement_physical_currency.pdf
    Syempre consistent dun sa form na departing form sa Philippines
    and Incoming Passenger Form sa AU, na nakacheck na YES for bringing more than 10 aud.

    Para madali nila itrace yun pera para di ka pagsuspetsahan na money laundering.

    Hi again guys. I'm in a bit confusing situation right now. So as I mentioned before, I already hold a visa 491 (NSW regional). Last week, I already told my current employer, w/c is an Australian company based in Sydney, about my planned resignation. Pero gusto nila iextend yung employment ko with them since meron silang office in a regional area but outside of my nominating region. Yung office nila isa nasa regional area rin ng NSW, actually katabi lang ng nominating region ko.

    Question: For a visa 491 holder like me, would you recommend to accept their offer and move to a different region or should I stay and find work within my nominating region?

    If I move, would it affect my future application for visa 191?

    Hoping to hear from you guys or from someone who already moved from one regional area to another.

    not recommended but pwede kasi kapag binasa mo yung 491 visa nakalagay dun na you could stay and work to any regional area so technically pwede since yung office ng current company mo is in regional at hindi ka pa mahihirapan maghanap ng work. wala naman magiging problema sa PR application mo since nasa titira at mag work ka naman sa regional area.

    Thank you for the response. Last weekend, I have directly asked an RDA officer from my nominating region and they have responded that they allow such move. However, gusto rin nila makahanap ako sa lugar nila ng work.

    BTW, I saw your signature, is visa 887 only applies for visa 489 holders or any other skilled regional visa holders like 491?

    Yup 887 is for 489 visa holder only. yung sa 491 need mag apply ng 191 after ma comply yung condition sa residency at work in regional area.

    Hi Hunter, for 489 visa, have you stayed in your regional area for two years before applying and granted an 887 visa? OR lumipat ka ng ibang regional area?

    Currently, I asked an RDA officer from my nominating region if movement from one regional area to a neighboring area is OK, and they have responded yes. They also said that it should be OK for 191 visa eligibility since the movement is still to a designated regional area.

    Just picking up some more info sa mga successful nakapag upgrade from temporary visa to PR visa.

    Thank you.

    Hello ano po requirements if more than 10k AUD ang dadalhing cash pa'AU?

    https://www.austrac.gov.au/individuals/moving-money-across-international-borders

    How to declare cash and non-cash forms of money
    Travelling into or out of Australia with money
    Complete the online declaration form before you pass through customs when arriving or departing Australia. Save a copy of your submission receipt, as you may need to show it to an Australian Border Force or police officer.

    Online form: Travelling into or out of Australia with money

    Thank you. May need bang i'upload na document kapag nag fill'up po dito para marequest ko sa bank or forex centers.

    Dalhin mo narin proof of withdrawal from the bank
    official receipt sa foreign exchange
    yung bank statements mo kung meron.
    kung galing sa pinagbentahan sa lupa, proof rin
    kung galing rin sa sweldo mo, yung BIR Form 2316
    Form https://www.austrac.gov.au/sites/default/files/2019-06/cross_border_movement_physical_currency.pdf
    Syempre consistent dun sa form na departing form sa Philippines
    and Incoming Passenger Form sa AU, na nakacheck na YES for bringing more than 10 aud.

    Para madali nila itrace yun pera para di ka pagsuspetsahan na money laundering.

    Parehas ko po bang ifill up po ung pdf form at online form?

    Yup! pwede kang lumipat ng ibang regional area at wala naman magiging problem pag nag apply ka ng visa 191 pero syempre much better kung duon sa nag sponsor sayo. Kung babasahin mo yung visa condition mo technically pwede ka tumira at mag work sa any regional area listed sa visa mo.

    In your case, lumipat ka ba before?

    Medyo hesitant din ako lumipat ngayon, kaso meron kasing job offer sa akin from my current company pero nasa katabing region yung office location. Kaya pinag iisipan ko if igrab ko or hanap nalang ako ng work sa regional area ko (which is ngayon, challenging maghanap ng work in line sa nominated occupation).

    Saan na immigration boss?

    Kung sa Pinas, Passport, ticket and Visa lang. Wala din akong pinakita na VEVO printout, yung ImmiGrant Notification lang sapat na.
    Since work visa sa akin hiningi din yung POLO-Verified Work Contract ko.

    Sa Immigration dito sa Aus, passport lang.

    Good luck to you po!

    5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
    6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

    Wow. All the best sa BIG Move! Ako by November na. May I ask, paano po kayo nakakuha ng accommodation? Thank you!

    Same here, wala pa ring nagrereply sa mga inapplyan kong engineering jobs. Pero sa farm job, may final interview na ako next week.

    Salamat @EricTC :smile: Malapit na rin pala ang BIG MOVE mo. May God bless us all.

    Nakapag booked kami ng 1 week accommodation sa hotel habang hinihintay namin yung schedule for rental inspection :smiley:

    Hello ano po requirements if more than 10k AUD ang dadalhing cash pa'AU?

    https://www.austrac.gov.au/individuals/moving-money-across-international-borders

    How to declare cash and non-cash forms of money
    Travelling into or out of Australia with money
    Complete the online declaration form before you pass through customs when arriving or departing Australia. Save a copy of your submission receipt, as you may need to show it to an Australian Border Force or police officer.

    Online form: Travelling into or out of Australia with money

    Thank you. May need bang i'upload na document kapag nag fill'up po dito para marequest ko sa bank or forex centers.

    Dalhin mo lang yung documentation na nawithdraw mo sa bank account mo and yung document na resibo na inexchange mo sa Foreign Exchange. Yung tipong alam nila ang kwento kung paano ka nagkaroon ng perang ganun and hindi ka pinagsuspetsahan na money laundering. No need to upload. Tinanong ko rin ito sa immigration sa pinas sa departure form nila na you need rin na ideclare. Tumawag ako sa customs.

    Ito ang best way na para makapagdala ng pera sa AU kasi nga ang mahal ng documentary tax na chinacharge ng mga Bangko sa bank transfer and yung service charge foreign exchange difference from selling rate na nakaadvertise sa website, may additional charge pa ang bangko para mapapalitan ang pera mo. Buti nalang stable foreign exchange na AUD sa pinas unlike Dollar na almost 60 na ang palitan hehe
