    Hi po. Ask ko lang sana kung pwede ba agad makapag-open ng Australian bank account kahit wala ka pa AU? Para at least matransfer ko na agad ung magiging funds ko before my arrival on 1st week of March at saka nirerequire na rin ni employer kasi by 2nd week of March start na agad ako sa new job ko.

    Saka if yes, ano ung anong bank ung pinaka-okay mag-open ng account? thank you.

    Pwede kay CommBank, although you would still need to personally visit a branch of your choice to activate it. Not sure lang if magagamit mo na agad yung account even before the personal visit. Pero you can check here: https://www.commbank.com.au/moving-to-australia/banking.html

    Question lang po regarding sa nakalagay sa border security website. Nakalagay po doon na dapat ang general goods lang na dala sa 900 aud unless used for a year

    1. Paano po pag may mga bagong gadgets na wala pang 1 year? Like a cellphone and a laptop?
    2. Before magpunta ng Au siyempre plano po sana muna namin mamili ng bagong mga damit at ibang gamit. Lalampas po yun sigurado ng 900aud. Paano po kaya yun?

    Or wala naman po problem basta for personal use only?

    Salamat po 🙂

    1. Wala naman naging problema basta hindi siya yung mga signature items, mga naka tag pa, o naka lagay pa sa box na watch, jewelries na makikita sa x-ray. Yung laptop ilalabas mo yan parati kada xray check sa pinas and sa au (medyo marami xray rin dito)

    Merong episode sa border security na chineck ang laman ng phone, kaya becareful yung mga nashare na video (like yung dog fighting ba yun). Random lang naman yun. Wala pa naman ako nakita chineck ang laptop kung pirated yung windows and office. Pero ako dinala ko nalang yung licence key para if ever magcheck.

    1. Okay lang naman basta tangalin niyo na ang tags. Medyo mahal dito ang damit unless off season na damit. In my opinion ang priority niyo dapat na bilhin na damit ay yung tipong wala kang size dito sa AU. Kasi you will end purchasing sa kids section. Eg. underwear, shoes

    Yes po, pwede pong magapply apply na din while here in PH. May mga companies naman po na nag eentertain naman ng candidates offshore basta po hindi need ng visa sponsorship. Like in my case po I have 2 pending applications na once granted po ang visa mag pproceed na po sa next steps. Wala po akong nilalagay na address sa CV , PH Contact number lang po.

    For those who are planning their big moves or nakapag-big move na from the PH, do you plan to keep your SSS membership? Like change your membership type to voluntary? Hehe. Naisip ko lang kasi sa PAG-IBIG pwede iwithdraw ung savings and I'm tempted to leave my SSS membership like that na lang since I don't have plans to go back permanently sa PH.

    Hello po. advisable po ba mag apply na for work kahit nasa pinas pa? Meron ba dito naka secure ng work offshore? Ano po nilagay nyo sa address at contact number? Thank you po.

    Good day! Ask ko lang po kung okay lang po ma-engage ang 491 visa holder before making 1st entry sa Au? Thanks po sa sasagot.

    I think, kailangan icheck muna yung visa conditions attached sa visa. Kung meron nakaattach na ganyan.

    Hello po. Hindi naman po yan kasama sa visa conditions sa grant kaya nakakalito. I think yang condition po na yan ay while waiting for visa grant. Hoping po na may makapag-clear nito. Salamat!

    Kung wala eh di wala. Nakasulat naman MIGHT be attached. Check your
    visa conditions as stated in the VEVO.

    Kung permanent visa ka na, you can withdraw your Pag-ibig Fund. If not, kailagan mo siya ilakad pagnagpermanent ka na
    Kung gusto mo may pension ka sa Pilipinas, dapat nakaipon ka ng 120 contributions para may makukuha ka pagdating ng 60 years old. Kung wala naman.
    Choice mo yan if you can continue para makaabot ng 120 contributions.

    Based po sa mga nakikita kong grant letter, usually 1 year po yung For First Entry, Arrive by after the grant. But there are instances naman po na 3 or 6 months after the grant yung For First Entry, Arrive by. Depende po siguro sa nominated occupation.

    Sa nakikita ko po na mga posts here, ang date na nakalagay sa grant is from expiry of the latest submitted police clearance.

    So kung maeexpire ang pinasa mong police clearance ng January 31, you should enter Au at January 30. Pero yung iba po kasi, di ito yung reference nung nakikita nilang date sa grant letter. Let's wait for others' insight. :)
