Kamusta po sa lahat,

May tanong lang po ako sa mga nakapag-BM na lalo na po dun sa may mga anak na. Noong na-grant po ba kayo at nagdecide na mag BM na, kasama niyo na po ba yung family niyo? Or yung primary applicant po muna then tsaka po sumunod un family niyo? Kung sinama niyo na po yun family niyo, saan po kayo nag-rent?

Nakausap ko po kasi un Pinsan ko sa AU. Sobrang hirap daw po kasi ng status ng rentals ngayon. ipipila pa daw yung application mo bago ka makapag-rent and besides sa pila is kelangan may work kana bago ka makapag-rent ng bahay dahil isa sa mga requirements is COE and/or Payslips. Kaya ang suggestion nila is mauna ako pumunta dun, kasi ako din naman yung primary applicant, then sumunod un famliy kapag settled na ako. Meaning may work na and nirerentahan na bahay.

Although dipa naman kami granted pero nadagdagan lang po yung isipin, bukod sa paghihintay ng visa grant, kasi ang hirap po mahiwalay sa family.

Really depends sa situation ng family. But in our case, buong pamilya na kami lumipat dito. Kasi un nga, ayokong mahiwalay sa knila. No. 2, may mga kaibgan kaming nagpatira samin dito for a month para makahanap ng house. And no. 3, mas madali kmaing nakasettle kasi andito na kami. Lahat ng mga need asikasuhin madali na kasi andito na.

Im not really sure how hard it is to find house. Pero we found our home dito sa suburb blacktown. Baka sa city super hirap makahanap. Kasi halos lahat gusto tumira dun. But we prefer dito kasi tahimik at almost everything can be driven, and ung parking lots most of the time free for upto 3hours.my husband work sa city, so he just drive to any park to ride na train, then sasakay nlng siya ng express train. Basta magamit mo ung OPAL card mo sa tren, libre na parking mo for the whole day.

Yung house namin, nag viewing kami ng Saturday morning. We send our application Saturday afternoon. Monday morning, approved na kami. When u apply, iready mo lahat ng need nila.

I remember sending my bank account with my funds on it. I also sent numbers of the agent na natirhan namin sa Singapore, so they can prove na maayus kaming tenant. They also asked our occupation, and how many kids we have. What age ung anak namin.

Question: My plan is to stay in NSW for 2 months for my first entry, to activate my visa, jobhunt, and complete mga other adulting stuff. Just thinking of different scenarios here: Once I secure a place, wala namang kaso if I leave it vacant when I fly back sa Pinas (will keep paying the bills of course and return to the place to move for real na)?

How long will u keep it vacant? Depends sa housing agents, may tinatawag na routine inspection dito sometimes 4 times in a year. On our 3rd month nagka routine inspection kami. And syang naman kung babayaran mo ung place ng walang tao. Per week bayad dito, so u have to think about it also.

Pwede naman to pero note na madugo ang rent sa NSW. Pwedeng umabot ng 500+ a week ang isang place.

I second to this. Medjo pricey now mga rents and pahirapan maka rent. Please coordinate with the housing agents. Mas makakamura pa if mag Airnbnb or house sharing muna while looking for your place on your own. You can actually get a place muna then uwi ka sa Pinas, and let someone rent the place short-term period but you have to do all the effort to advertise the place. Downside is wala ka sa property and whatever damages ikaw ang liable.

Hello Guys,

Magandang araw sa inyo. Yung mga mag B-Big move dyan next month, meron kaming available 2 rooms sa Albion for rent po.

Tanong nalang rin po about sa Driver’s license ng PH. Nag renew kasi ako ng Driver’s license dito sa Davao tapos ang naibigay na license ay temporary lang kasi naubusan na sila ng PVC(plastic card) , yung license ko ay nasa papel lang. Kung sa Victoria po ako mag papa convert ng license, paano po ang proseso nito since naka temporary/papel na license lang ito. Medyo sumasakit po ang ulo ko dito kasi nag pa rebook kami ng ticket para lang hintayin un PVC na maissuehan den malaman laman namin na nationwide na palang problem ito. 😭😭😭😭

Nung nag parenew ako sa Quezon city (main office) noon, nakuha ko kagad yung PVC id kinabukasan. sinabi lang namin sa officer na urgent kasi based abroad ako. ang naalala ko lang pinakita ko ticket at visa ko.

Kelan kayo nagparenew? Ngayon ang severe ng problema sa plastic licenses, umaabot na sa balita na papel lang daw ibibigay haha

Matagal na. Kung na-surrender mo na yung expired license mo, try mo na lang ipakita yang papel mo kung magaaply ka dito. kung may photo ka ng previous license mo, much better.

Thanks all sa insights! Yeah, plan ko is to book an AirBnb muna while looking for a place. Then once I get a place, I'll fly back to tie loose ends (I don't plan on resigning from my PH job until I've secured another one so need ko ibalik pa mga company assets), but I don't want to rent the place out if ever kasi I plan to fly back rin shortly. So won't leave it vacant for long, na abutin ng months.

Required ba na present ka during routine inspection? For example, kunwari nagbakasyon ka lang overseas for 4 weeks?

For me, it is best to inspect the place so will see the place yourself. I have seen posts on Reddit na maganda lang daw sa pics, pero when they were at the inspection sobrang layo daw ng hitsura..

Noon April 12 sa LTO main ng Davao.
Papel lang ang binigay at resibo sa akin.
Grabe nga. Hindi ba pwede yun papel dyan sa Vic roads? Sana may makasagot. Paano kaya ang proceso. 😭😭😭

Kakakuha ko lang today, papel lang din. Ginawa ko na lang, pinaphotocopy ko yung papel tapos yun ang pinalaminate ko. Babalikan ko po though ang plastic card 😅

Buti pa computer shop sa tabi-tabi may supply ng card lol.

Yes, that's my plan, hence renting AirBnb while looking for a place to rent/secure. Required/part of the process din daw ang in-person inspection e, from what I've read and heard from acquaintances.

What I meant was if required na andun ka when they do routine inspection ng nire-rentahan mo? Namention kasi ni ma'am @ga2au na may ganyan

Sa current place namen mas gusto nila na present ka during inspection. Pag wala ka sa premises papasok sila regardless - nakalagay yun sa terms and conditions na pinirmahan namen.

Best na andun ka at natirhan mo na ung place. Kasi sa mga routine inspection, iseshare mo sa agent anung mga sira. At need ayusin. Pwede namanf sila lang masi may spare keys naman sila. Its upto you. Just tell the agent na aalis kayu, at wag mo munang lagyan ng mamahaling bagay ng place.

Ganito style nyan:

Sa viewing ng house, makikita mo na yung state ng bahay. You can gauge na yung place on what the issues could be
Pag approved ka na and dun ka na magsstay, good thing to do is ikutin mo ng mas mabuti yung place and take pics of it para secured ka later down the line if may damages
If may sira sa house like clogged drains or iba pa, just let the agent know. They'll send someone to fix it asap (libre to if you're wondering)
If ikaw ang makadamage sa bahay, ibabawas yung fixes sa bond na binigay mo at the start of the lease. Kaya be careful na wag mo idamage bahay or else simot ang bond

Best na andun ka at natirhan mo na ung place. Kasi sa mga routine inspection, iseshare mo sa agent anung mga sira. At need ayusin. Pwede namanf sila lang masi may spare keys naman sila. Its upto you. Just tell the agent na aalis kayu, at wag mo munang lagyan ng mamahaling bagay ng place.

Ma'am, yung practices na ganyan—like inspection, what do kapag may sira, etc.—ni-orient kayo nung RE agent or nalaman niyo lang din along the way?

Mukhang need to do some more research for my own sanity! Haha.

Ganito style nyan:

Sa viewing ng house, makikita mo na yung state ng bahay. You can gauge na yung place on what the issues could be

Pag approved ka na and dun ka na magsstay, good thing to do is ikutin mo ng mas mabuti yung place and take pics of it para secured ka later down the line if may damages

If may sira sa house like clogged drains or iba pa, just let the agent know. They'll send someone to fix it asap (libre to if you're wondering)

If ikaw ang makadamage sa bahay, ibabawas yung fixes sa bond na binigay mo at the start of the lease. Kaya be careful na wag mo idamage bahay or else simot ang bond

Source: started renting out our own place last Oct lol

THANK YOU, hulog ka ng langit!!!!!!

Hi all,
Congrats sa mga na-grant and gooduck sa mga waiting

Thanks din po sa mga shared tips sa whole process ng DIY visa.
Granted na po kami sa 189 Visa (me and my husband) last 12 April.

We are planning to stay in Europe for a maximum of 2 years. Lipad po kami this end of May to Europe. For the 1st entry sa Aus, kelangan namin pumasok within a year. Magvisit po kami sa Aus this May (1 week lang). Medyo hindi lang po kami sure sa mga ito:

May kelangan pa po ba kami dalin sa airport aside sa letter from Immi? Or may kelangan po ba kmai gawin dun sa Immiaccount?
May kelangan po ba kami na inotify regarding sa pagmove namin to Europe for 2 years? Like change of address and work situations?

Salamat po!
