    Hi...I'm newbie here and based sa SG. One year pa lang kaso na stress na ako. Hahaha! Gusto ko rin sana magtry sa AU. Meron na ba nagtry gumamit ng agent d2? Ano advantage? Thanks!
    if you have the time to do research and read forums, malaki matitipid mo kung ikaw na lang mag apply on your own. Otherwise, kung gusto mo spoon fed ang info you have to pay extra for agents.

    baka may nakakaalam... pag less than 5 years pa ang HDB property mo then gusto mo i-renounce yung PR, paano ang sequence ng pagbenta ng HDB? renounce first then sell HDB? or sell HDB then renounce?
    @mast3ree - ang pagkakaintindi ko is sell muna ung HDB flat mo bago i-renounce ung PR kasi ung mga kinaltas sa CPF mo nung bumili ka ng flat at ung kinakaltas monthly sa CPF account mo as payment sa flat is sa CPF mo din ibabalik. Once na na nabalik na ung pera sa CPF mo then you can renounce na ung PR mo after that may mga need i-clear ata sa IRAS para malaman if you still owe SG Govt taxes ata at pag ok na lahat they would deposit ung money sa SG bank account mo then magpapakain ka na kasi bigtime ka na...hehehe

    Forgot to mention na check mo ung contract ng flat mo kung kailan mo pwede ibenta, meron pa lang provision ung kung ilang years na kailangang tirahan bago ibenta.

    You can certainly keep it but you have to ask yourself, in the even that you use it, how will you pay for it... Wiring money to Singapore will have some cost and also there will be FX conversion when you charge AUD in your SGD-denominated credit card.

    Wala naman problema when you come here without a credit card, I would assume that you have already opened an account prior to coming here. Ang account mo will come with a debit card, you can use that to do your transactions.

    Hope this helps!!

    Kung may sapat kang perang dala sa Australia then pa cut mo na agad agad. Pero if you have doubts and think medyo alanganin and may possibility na kailanganin mo ng extra funds dun in times of emergency then maintain mo muna. Madali naman siguro pa cut yan dun via phone call/ email pag settled na kau. Ako kasi citibank credit card and hindi ko pa bayad. If in case hindi ko sya mabayaran ng buo while mag Australia ako, balak kong magopen ng citibank account sa Australia para magtransfer ng payments nalang via online.

    opo medyo mababa nga sa bangko. sa bank draft kasi, tseke lang ang dala nyo, not the physical money so mas safe ito.

    yung pocket money po pwede nyo bilhin na sa Singapore. Above 10K need to declare po sa customs.

    Actually, regardless of form (cash, cheques, bank draft, etc) you to disclose if you are bringing > AUD10K when entering AU. But there is no limit to the amount.

    For Singapore, the same rule applies but the declaration limit is SGD 30k.
