    Hello! Advisable ba ang mag stay muna sa hotel/motel or transient if ever wala pang nakukuhang bahay/room pagdating sa Au? Anong ayos na hotel?
    Maganda ang hotel (assuming maayos naman ito) but the only BIG PROBLEM I can see here is the cost implication; super mahal ng mga hotels dito... A basic one in Melbourne with shared bathroom (and it was VERY small) cost us $70 per day.

    Nabasa ko somewhere here na walang bayad ang visa label pag sa Oz ka kumuha, tama ba? Saan nga po puede kumuha ng visa label sa melbourne?
    @jengrata, Yes free lg mgpavisa label sa OZ, just find the nearest DIAC centre on your place, send your passport together a letter stating that you want a visa label. At after 5 days they will send back ur passport my visa label na.. Ang mail lg babayaran mo, use registered post pra ma track mo kng nareciv ng Diac or wla.. Yan ang ginawa namin sa passport ng mum, dad and 3 siblings ko..

    Was this done before November 24, 2012? Because based on the DIAC site after the said date we need to pay $70 for a visa label (there are a few exempted visa classes though).

    @jengrata, Yes free lg mgpavisa label sa OZ, just find the nearest DIAC centre on your place, send your passport together a letter stating that you want a visa label. At after 5 days they will send back ur passport my visa label na.. Ang mail lg babayaran mo, use registered post pra ma track mo kng nareciv ng Diac or wla.. Yan ang ginawa namin sa passport ng mum, dad and 3 siblings ko..

    GPO Box 241
    Melbourne Vic 3001

    Melbourne office postal address..

    wow, possible nga talaga na magpa VISA label sa OZ for free.
    thanks sis @nfronda :)

    Sa Adelaide po, pwede rin po ba?
