    Hi @wizz, what do you mean landed immigrant? Yun ba yung mga nakarating na ditong PR or yung mga naginitial entry na? Uuwi kasi kaming pinas from Perth para magbakasyon tapos ako babalik pa sa work sa Singapore. My wife and daughter will stay back in PH for a couple of days pa. Resigned na wife ko sa Singapore at wala na rin sya EP, need pa rin ba nya magattend ng PDOS kahit nanggaling na sya dito sa AU?

    Matagal tagal din akong nawala dito sa pinoyau kaya di na makasubaybay ng mga kaganapan dito.

    @vhoythoy, oks lang magdala ng mga vitamins at medicine ng baby kahit na madami pa yan. Normally di sila mahigpit sa mga passengers na may kasamang baby. Di na nga nagdeclare yung wife ko na may dala silang mga gamot nung dumating dito. Basta pinadire diretso na daw sila ng anak ko palabas. Pero declare mo na rin para cgurado, baka kasi nagkataon lang nung time na yun na hindi mahigpit dito sa Perth airport.

    hi, currently SG-based din...
    will be officially leaving the little red dot for the land down under next year :)
    by the way, i wonder kung merong currently both SG PR and AU PR. we don't know kasi if we have to give up yung SG PR namin prior to moving.
    thanks!

    Hi fellow Sg based friends, isang survery question lang po para makatulong sa akin makapag-decide. Medyo mahirap ibalanse lang po kasi. I know mostly namili rin sa 2 situations na ito.

    Option 1: Resign and leave the little red dot, punta na sa Au ang primary applicant wife and child stays in Phils wait for primary applicant to get his job. or,

    Option 2: Make an initial entry 3 of us, then settle centrelink and medicare (a little bit of family holiday) then come back to Sg continue working (get bonus and AWS) then leave sg for good by Jan next year.

    Then if initial entry, minimum how many days to apply for leave?

    I appreciate your inputs into this concern, I know it is a no-brainer po but I just wanted to make sure that once we decide we are in the track. Maraming salamat po.

    sir @sonsi_03, SG-based ka rin pala :)
    Sa amin ng wife ko, same ng Option 2 n'yo ang plan namin. Initial Entry this year, balik ng SG and try muna naming tiisin ang stress ng work para makakuha pa ng bonus next year, then leave SG for good before the end of next year.
    By the way, SG PR ba kayo sir or EP? SG PR kasi kami kaya hindi pa namin sure kung kailangan na naming i-give up yung pagiging SG PR namin or kung pwedeng isabay sa AU PR.

    @jjames_gagniyahoo same case tayo sir, pero S pass kami dito ni misis and our daughter is in the pinasland right now. Actually we were looking at Option 1 but it seems very lame kasi and impulsive. Sayang ang pinaghirapan ng buong taon tapos nganga pa sa Au pagdating.

    Will 5 days good enough for initial entry? Limited kasi ang leave namin ni misis.
