Sa case namin, since gusto pa naming magbakasyon muna ng pinas for about 2 weeks, what we did was:
- Resign from our work
- Bakasyon pinas
- Balik SG, stayed there for 4 nights. During which time, ni-renounce namin ang SPR namin.
IIRC we got the funds from CPF after about 2 weeks.

Also note na pagdating mo sa Australia, marami-rami ring gastusin ang naghihintay sa yo, especially if you're a family with kids and gusto nyong mag-rent ng sariling bahay.
So factor nyo na rin yun sa budget nyo. I used NAB. It's up to you kung gusto mong i-split ang pera mo into multiple banks. Just note that may daily max amount or limit ang transfer.

nagapply ako twice dito kaso malas talaga hindi talaga para saken ang lugar na ito kahit kaunting swerte wala siguro kung meron man sa karir ko lang dito haha
oo nga yung uncertainty every 2 years kung marerenew ang iyong work pass o uuwe kanang luhaan.
yung uncertainty na intact pa company mo bigla bigla magsisipaan walang sabi sabi may 2 months notice kana lang
yung may kasama ka na pinoy sa bahay na hindi marunung makisama
yung every weekend nagtatravel ka papuntang raffles pero hindi mo maiwasan ang orchard at nadadamay ka sa gulo nang mga kapwang Pinoy dun
yung every weekend nagcacamping ka sa bahay kasi tapos na weekend mo at "monday" nanaman trabaho nanaman buntong hininga ka kasi holiday nung wednesday e MC kapa nung tuesday so may 6 days kang pahinga pero yung Monday parang magic lang na dumating.
I haven't lost everything except my mind...

3. Medical.
my 2 months kasi akong waiting time bago magpa assess ulit, eh medyo binibilisan ko na kasi baka magretrench nanaman dito sa SG end of Q2.
any advice? halos complete ko na docs, yan nalang mga kulang.
In preparation lang sa EOI and CO required documents, para makafocus na ulit sa ibang bagay.

2. SG PCC - The earliest you can do this is after you've lodged your Visa Application. SPF kasi will require a request letter from DIBP, which happens once you have a CO na. But I know of some friends who just printed the Visa Application Page and presented it to SPF. Tinanggap naman nila.
3. Medical - If I remember correctly, merong form na magiging available lang after mo mag-lodge ng Visa application.

Naalala ko, may kakilala akong indian na ni-renounce ang SPR ng anak nya at pinauwi na sa India bago mag-16. I guess you should seriously consider the same.

Kung sa pag renounce nyo naman po, ang tanging sabi po nila ay may "adverse consequences" kung di sya mag-serve. No one knows the future, what if one day he really need to come to sg for any reason, sino ang sisihin nya kung na-ban sya?
