Hello po. Pag visa 482 po ba pwedeng di na bumalik sa pinas? Pwede po ba mag asikaso na lang ng papers sa embassy dito sa SG? Kakauwi lang kasi namin ng halos 3wks sa pinas tapos ngayon fast moving na yung application.

@emzkie oo SATA amk ako kasi 5pm nageend work ko nun time na nagka ITA ako, since meron silang night clinic which is 6pm-9pm yan pinili ko kasi convenient sa sched namin ni hubby.
The next day no action required na agad sa immi account ko.. so pag negative naman result mo, pinapasa na nila kagad result sa DHA.
Thanks sa info about travel to AU.

Hi All
Pareho kami ng husband ko na nagwowork dito sa SG as analyst programmer and wala pang kids, ask ko lang, what made you decide na ipursue etong AU?
Sa ngayon nagsstart pa lang kami mag gather ng requirements pero sa totoo lang medyo basa parin ako ng basa ng articles na "SG vs AU" haha
Joined: Nov 06, 2016
Hi. Maganda dito sa SG pag single at wala pang anak po na kagaya nyo. Maganda ang sahod at makakaipon ka talaga.
Pag meron na pong mga anak, medyo pahirapan na maghanap ng school lalo pag primary levels na. Nagcclose ang slots ng schools for foreigners like us. Kagaya nun samin ang layo ng school ng isang bata sa bahay namin kasi si na sya natanggap sa unang school nya. Nakakaawa ng bagets sa stress. Opinion at experience ko lang, others may differ po.

True, I think depende sa long term goal mo. Don't forget rin na SG parin ang best in terms of Swelduhan. napakabilis mag ipon kung savings ang paguusapan. napakaliit ng tax compared sa ibang bansa. dating Single Aussie boss ko galit na galit sa tax sa OZ, sabi nya, cya ang nag papa aral sa mga may anak sa OZ dahil sa tax na binabayaran nya. haha.

i think, with good pay in SG kahit hndi pa PR or citizen, may sustain a good family life in sg.. ang tanong lang is until when..
i think issue will be school slots and fees.. based sa mga friends ko.. dama na ang paghihigpit s sg to give way sa locals..

@genedac yes malaki. kaya you have to plan it properly. for us, willing kame i-sacrifice ang comfortzone from sweldo, bahay, investments, kahit nasa local school ang anak (hindi sila pr kame lang ni misis.) tumatanda na rin kasi. at need rin to secure ang retirement.

thank you for saying this. akala ko lower income talaga compared here sa SG. hehe
pero from what my friends in Sydney told me, kahit na higher cost of living daw, enough naman daw yung pay to cover. BTW, i listen to your podcast! learned about the white card thing through that. very helpful as we are already planning our BM.

Same situation samen. Sa tagal na namin dito na PR, dami na rin nagtatanung bakit daw di pa kami mag apply ng Singaporean citizenship. May friends pa kami na nag explain na may loophole ang batas naten sa pinas na even though ma lose naten Filipino citizenship, madali lang naten mababalik since natural born Filipino tayo.
Pero iba kasi talaga dating ng environment ng Australia eh. Kita and ramdam namin nung nag tour kami. Lakas maka engganyo kaya hopefully matupad mga plans namin mag move out from here. Don't get us wrong, maayos ang SG...secure, mabilis internet, high-tech, masarap and mura food, etc. but like others, hate din namin work culture and environment dito...bottomline is, overworked tayo dito

saw your timeline... minsan talaga mapo-postpone mo ang plan dahil sa mga dadating na circumstances. muntik na din kami ndi tumuloy dito dahil sa promotion pero my wife made a good call. it's not easy but it's been a good 4 years so far.
Goodluck sa application mo at sana magtuloy-tuloy na!
