    Hello po may ask po ako sa mga nka 491 visa na nka BM na po un my family nakasama.
    May tuition po ba sa primary school un mga kids pag eenrol sa public school.
    Salamat po

    Yes may minimal fee din. Dito sa Adelaide nasa 500 aud ung sa primary school ng anak ko. The fee includes writing materials and other stuff na gagamitin nila sa school. Tapos bring your own device sila, so bumili kami ng ipad and keyboard. You also need to shoulder the uniform, bags, etc which can be bought sa kanilang designated school provider. Kapag private kasi sa mga napagtanungan namin around 10K aud above ang tuition.

    Actually ung bunso namin, incoming year 4 or grade 4 sya dito sa au. Nagtanong kami sa primary school within our catchment area. Tinanggap naman sya dun sa school after some interviews para ma quantify kung marunong ba ung bata mag english. Tpos nung nakapasa, pinag start na agad syang pumasok sa term 4 ng grade 3 (that was Nov) para lang makilala nya ung mgiging mga kaklase nya sa grade/year 4. Free of charge na din kasi daw mababait din ung principal and staff.

    Yung panganay ko naman, dapat grade 6 sya, pero since moving up to high school na at wala na halos academic na ginagawa sa year 6, kaya inadvise na lang na hindi pumasok since ma out of place lang sya. So nangyare sa panganay ko, from grade 5 sa pinas year 7 (1st year) na sya pagpasok nya ng januray 2024. By catchment area dn ang basis ng student intake nila. So isa dn yan sa icoconsider byo pag naghanap kayo ng house. Ung mga nearby school.

    Pwede lahat yan basta nasa checkin baggage. Nagdala ako nyan a few times lalo iron steamer.

    Ang strict sila ay mga wooden products/grains/bigas/halaman/lupa. Kelangan mo ideclare yan sa incoming passenger card. Mahigpit sila about that. Pag nasniff ka ng dog, and hindi declared it will result to fine or refusal for entry. Bawal din left over food from plane. This is per my last travel dec2023.

    to elaborate:
    I brought some matcha powder with me for personal consumption na wala sa original sealed pouch. Nagtakal ako ganon haha.
    Nawala sa isip ko, kasi parang usual food ko lang na pinapack pag bibyahe eh. Hindi ko dineclare.

    Pumila na ako sa lane ng 'nothing to declare' until the gatekeeper asked kung meron ba akong epektus na dapat ideclare. Doon ko nakita yung posters nila ng restricted items. Ayun naalala ko bigla yung matcha jusko. Sinabi ko nalang din I forgot to declare. Medyo natagalan sakin kasi nagtanong pa ilang grams and para saan, saan ko nabili. Tapos tinatakan yung IP card ko ng pula. Hindi ko naintindihan yung tatak. Sharing lang. Hassle kasi yung kaba ko nun, buti hindi ako nafine.

    Ayus lang naman public transpo dito. Wala pa kami sariling sasakyan. Bus lang kami madalas. Malapit lang kasi kami sa city, madaling magtravel back and fort. Wala pa akong personal experience sa sydney or melb kaya di ko maconpare. Pero personally, ok naman public transpo dito. Kapag weekdays, mga 15-20 mins ang interval ng bis. Kapag weekend minsan 1 hour, kaya better plan ahead kung maggagala kayo. Kaoag rush hour mejo punuan ung bus specially going to city. Mostly kasi bus ang gamit ng mga tao kahit mited at mahal parking sa city. After rush hour, halos ikaw lang minsan sakay ng bus :) safe dn sa mga kids ung public transpo. Ung anak kong walang kaalam alam kahit tumawid e nakakauwi ng mga isa from city to bahay and vice versa.

    So yun lang naman advabtage pag mag sariling kang sasakyan. Madali kang makakaikot dito sa adelaide. Maliit lang kasi adelaide, mga 30-40 mins ang pinakamatagal na travel time via personal car. If 491 visa ka kasi, pwede monna gamitin ung PH deivers license mo dito, kaya makakabili ka na dn tlga ng car. No need to have AU drivers license as long as di pa sya expired. But if you are 190 or 189, 3 months mo lang pwede gamitin PH license mo. After 3 months dapat kumuha ka na ng AU license. Pag nagsasakyan ka na din kasi simula na dn sa dagdag gastusin yan kaya practicality wise, di muna ako nag auto. Di naman kami palalabas :)

    Hello po may ask po ako sa mga nka 491 visa na nka BM na po un my family nakasama.
    May tuition po ba sa primary school un mga kids pag eenrol sa public school.
    Salamat po

    Yes may minimal fee din. Dito sa Adelaide nasa 500 aud ung sa primary school ng anak ko. The fee includes writing materials and other stuff na gagamitin nila sa school. Tapos bring your own device sila, so bumili kami ng ipad and keyboard. You also need to shoulder the uniform, bags, etc which can be bought sa kanilang designated school provider. Kapag private kasi sa mga napagtanungan namin around 10K aud above ang tuition.

    Salamat sa information din, 491 din po ako and SA din. San po kau sa Adelaide? By this year po ay punta na rin po kami dyan kakagrant lng din namin kaya researching po kami. Hope I can get in touch with you pag andyan na kami.

    Dito lang kami sa Walkerville. Mid October kami dumating, kaya mejo fresh pa din :) Message ka lang anytime.

    Makikisali lng po. Adelaide din po kame family of 3. estimated BM in June. Salamat po sa pag share ng info. Ask ko lng kung kamusta ung transportation nyo jan sa simula. Puro taxi po ba kayo muna o May sasakyan na po kayo or ok nmn po ung public transportation? Salamat po ulit.

    Ayus lang naman public transpo dito. Wala pa kami sariling sasakyan. Bus lang kami madalas. Malapit lang kasi kami sa city, madaling magtravel back and fort. Wala pa akong personal experience sa sydney or melb kaya di ko maconpare. Pero personally, ok naman public transpo dito. Kapag weekdays, mga 15-20 mins ang interval ng bis. Kapag weekend minsan 1 hour, kaya better plan ahead kung maggagala kayo. Kaoag rush hour mejo punuan ung bus specially going to city. Mostly kasi bus ang gamit ng mga tao kahit mited at mahal parking sa city. After rush hour, halos ikaw lang minsan sakay ng bus :) safe dn sa mga kids ung public transpo. Ung anak kong walang kaalam alam kahit tumawid e nakakauwi ng mga isa from city to bahay and vice versa.

    So yun lang naman advabtage pag mag sariling kang sasakyan. Madali kang makakaikot dito sa adelaide. Maliit lang kasi adelaide, mga 30-40 mins ang pinakamatagal na travel time via personal car. If 491 visa ka kasi, pwede monna gamitin ung PH deivers license mo dito, kaya makakabili ka na dn tlga ng car. No need to have AU drivers license as long as di pa sya expired. But if you are 190 or 189, 3 months mo lang pwede gamitin PH license mo. After 3 months dapat kumuha ka na ng AU license. Pag nagsasakyan ka na din kasi simula na dn sa dagdag gastusin yan kaya practicality wise, di muna ako nag auto. Di naman kami palalabas :)

    Sobrang thank you po sa pagshare! Malaking tulong po cya. Nakakatanggal ng anxiety and kaka excite din mag BM. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

    Hello! Just had my big move :) 491 SA.

    Share ko lang experience ko (yun pagod ko sa pinas para na akong nakarating sa AU).

    1. Last time I had an out of the country trip, paper pa yun travel declaration form so medyo nahirapan ako with the e-travel declaration kasi mabagal ang data ko, but nakaraos rin naman. Not sure if it can be done before the travel date but if yes, for those na bago pa lang aalis, better do it before your flight.
    2. Immigration - yun IO na natapat sa akin was not familiar with Visa 491, hinahanapan ako ng OEC. I was asked if I had contract etc which was wala naman. He had to go inside and consult someone else then later gave me a slip to validate with DMW (inside the Immigration area). Asked the person sa may Immigration area pero pinasa rin ako sa DMW kiosk sa dulo ng airport. They just added a note sa slip na OEC is for those leaving with employers, since wala nga ako employer pa, no need for OEC. Went back to the IO then waited for another 10-15mins before finally allowed to go.

    For those with 491 visa you may want to get a confirmation from DMW regarding OEC in case your IO is not familiar with your visa. Took me almost an hour to get past Immigration, buti maaga aga ako dumating sa airport.

    1. Not sure if this is the same with all airlines flying to AU, but Qantas opened luggages (checkin and hand carry). You will not be allowed to enter the gate as you please, pipila ka muna then they'll inspect your carry ons. Water was also not allowed inside the gate.
    2. Smooth na yun lahat pagdating sa AUS - SYD to ADL
    3. Bought my sim na sa SYD airport.
    4. Got my metrocard naman sa ADL airport para ready to go anywhere na once nakapagcheckin airbnb
    5. Opened bank account
    6. Applied for TFN
    7. Started house inspection

    Question - for those na nag-agent and then created their ImmiAccount upon arriving in AU, did you have to import all your documents? I just did mine kasi and there are already attached documents.

    Also, did you update the regional address upon getting a semi/permanent address? TIA!

    Thank you! It looks like all the documents I submitted were imported. May I know what you still needed to upload?

    Hi, hindi ako kumuha ng travel insurance.

    Question sa mga nagapply for TFN and Medicare:
    1. For TFN, it says you will receive TFN after 28 days. My understanding is wala rin email or anything na matatanggap ahead of time para sana makuha mo yun TFN mo in advance for let's say employment?
    2. Medicare - Will you be receiving an acknowledgement pag nagsend ka na ng forms and requirements?

    TIA! :smile:

    Share ko lang credit card application ko here.

    I started my work on 05 February 2024 and applied NAB Credit Card on 09 February. Before applying, I also open account sa kanila. I submitted my Contract and identification thru online.

    Then on 23 February I was approved na.

    I checked my credit score sa Comm Bank app and I was shocked kasi very good ang credit score even though I am just a new PR and kaka move ko lang this month. I have a good credit history though while in PH

    This is good. Although your credit score from other countries do not carry over to another.

    At Commbank, even if you don't have a credit line you'll initially have an excellent credit score. I also happen to have an excellent score though I only have savings acccount with Commbank which I set up a year ago for the sole purpose of big move (haha sana soon na).

    The usual process of credit checks will recompute your score based on the number of credit bureaus pulling a report for you and of course your credit line/payment history. The more applications you make, the lower your credit score will get. This was at least a business process for Amex where I worked for before, which I guess is applicable to most banks.

    Wala akong idea sa HSBC sirr kasi wala akong HSBC account.
    Mas okay nga sana kung pwede yang ganyan eh para wala na masyadong hassle maglipat ng funds. Mabilis lang magtransfer from SG to AU, T+1 lang reflected na sa au account. (DBS to Commbank)

    Baka meron dito mga nakapag big move na from sg to au na pwede mag advise.

    Share ko lang credit card application ko here.

    I started my work on 05 February 2024 and applied NAB Credit Card on 09 February. Before applying, I also open account sa kanila. I submitted my Contract and identification thru online.

    Then on 23 February I was approved na.

    I checked my credit score sa Comm Bank app and I was shocked kasi very good ang credit score even though I am just a new PR and kaka move ko lang this month. I have a good credit history though while in PH

    This is good. Although your credit score from other countries do not carry over to another.

    At Commbank, even if you don't have a credit line you'll initially have an excellent credit score. I also happen to have an excellent score though I only have savings acccount with Commbank which I set up a year ago for the sole purpose of big move (haha sana soon na).

    The usual process of credit checks will recompute your score based on the number of credit bureaus pulling a report for you and of course your credit line/payment history. The more applications you make, the lower your credit score will get. This was at least a business process for Amex where I worked for before, which I guess is applicable to most banks.

    Confirm ko lang po, bale yung credit card standing dito sa ph or kung ano mang loan meron ka dito sa ph. Hindi makikita ni AU? Thanks

    In general, no. Depende kung international lender, Citibank mga ganyan mukhang mahigpit.

    The credit card standing in the PH generally won't have a bearing when opening accounts here. Pero if you apply for certain types of jobs, for example sa financial institution, some of them will do a background check overseas. Sasabihin naman sa iyo during the application process kung gagawin nila yan.

    Sorry to interject - Any idea if HSBC can be transferred to AU and doon ituloy yung facility ? Is it an option for others who can easily migrate their account from example here in SG then ipasa sa AU yung account ?

    Wala akong idea sa HSBC sirr kasi wala akong HSBC account.
    Mas okay nga sana kung pwede yang ganyan eh para wala na masyadong hassle maglipat ng funds. Mabilis lang magtransfer from SG to AU, T+1 lang reflected na sa au account. (DBS to Commbank)

    Baka meron dito mga nakapag big move na from sg to au na pwede mag advise.

    Thanks @mathilde9 ,kaya ko din kasi natanong hehe since international naman yung HSBC kung meron sana na ganung option parang seamless na din anywhere. Magtatanong din ako sa provider ,then will update what i find out.
