    Make sure you have at least a year left on your passports.

    Make sure passport is stamped for CFO and visa label.
    Www.cfo.gov.ph

    Make sure drivers license is not expired. You can use it for first 3months. There are countries who are qualified for direct conversion of license.

    Dig out all your personal paperwork, including birth, marriage certificates, employment references and qualifications.

    Collect all hand-over files from doctor, dentist, optician, pedia for vaccine cert, children's schools etc.

    Request up to date statements on any endowments, pensions and investments.

    Pay off any outstanding debts.

    Close any surplus bank accounts and destroy unwanted cards.

    Shred any personal records you are not taking and dispose of.

    Bring council tax and utilities up to date and cancel accounts for TV, internet, phone and insurance.

    Put your house on the market.

    Identify temporary accommodation in case your house sells sooner than expected and you have to move out

    Depending on your tenancy agreement, give notice to your landlord if renting a property.

    Arrange all your post to be redirected to a friend or relative.

    Give your change of address to your bank, passport office, pension company, inland revenue, insurance brokers and accountants.

    Sell your car, bike, van or any other transport you wont be needing.

    Cancel car insurance.

    sell any items you don't want to take with you, or donate them to a charity.

    Consider talking to your employer about your migration plans.

    Give formal notice to your employer

    Update your CV to make it suitable for the Oz market place.

    Start job hunting.

    Discuss your plans with extended family and friends.

    Start having Goodbye parties now as time runs away at the end.

    Get quotes from removals companies and flights and get them booked.

    Track down temporary accommodation in Oz/NZ.

    Book accommodation for each destination on route.

    Start packing non essential items.

    Ensure all your relevant paperwork is in a handy travel file.

    Make sure transport to the airport is organised and will arrive in plenty of time for the flight.

    Pack activity sets and small gifts to amuse young children on the flight.

    Get a good night sleep

    Thank the Lord.

    Here in VIC, di na kailangan yung as they just refer our license number to a database in their computer. If you check your drivers license sa Pinas, it will indicate there the year when you first got your license.

    :) Hope this helps!

    @TasBurrfoot pero may exams pa yang kukunin, ayt?...theory and practical tests before being given an Au License?...ano yung tinatawag na "learner's license"??
    Of course... Inferior kasi ang license natin sa Pinas kaya we still need to take a series of exams before we can be issued an australian drivers license.

    Check mo sa NSW ano ang patakaran doon... Iba kasi sa VIC and iba iba bawat state.

    Sa VIC, I took 3 exams (1) Theory, (2) Hazard Perception and (3) Actual Driving...

    ayos na ang checklist mo @bluemist :)
    dagdagan mo na lang ng:

    9. start packing things. sobrang nakaka stress sya for me. kaya the earlier you do this, the better :)
    para yung nalalabing days mo dito sa pinas, eh stress free na :)

    10. You may also want to add yung sa Pag Ibig and SSS contributions mo.
    You may opt to withdraw or leave it para mag earn daw ng interest :) parang investment na din :)

    11. start applying jobs online. baka maswertihan at maka kuha ng job while still overseas :)


    sis, ask ko pala. yung sa PhilPost, ilang weeks daw yun bago makarating sa Sydney?

    Hi guys, share ko lang po. I went to CFO office earlier to attend the seminar, kaso sabi pang-PR visa lang daw at PR visa holder lang nirereg nila. Sana lang hindi magkaproblema pag alis ko. 489 visa lang kasi ako. Couldn't wait for 190. Lolz. Hassle talaga.
