Hi!!! I know it was asked Nth million times, just want to clarify about our situation. kasi my wife has a relative in other state (NSW) and we where offered to stay there for a while for free and work there. And I'm just wondering if we can make entry on their State since we are granted visa 190 in SA? pero kasi ako I really wanted to go straight to Adelaide as a "moral obligation" to the State, future plans din like what if we wanted to take up citizenship, I dont know if it will affect for future applications? sorry super dumb na at nagprepare na din for the big move. thanks!
@merickboy - technically/legally fine. there are a lot of topics in different forums na pinagusapan ito... ang ending e, pwede... most of the comments will say magpaalam ka dun sa sponsoring state, merong iiba na di na kailangan kasi di sya binding / obligation unlike subclass489....
but kung mangyayari man sa akin ito personally, I would recommend to try your best to stay in the sponsoring state, kung talagang di umubra --- talk to them, be honest, discuss your options...
SA is a much better state than NSW, for me. Maybe not for the jobs being offered there but it is the preferred place (aside from Melbourne). Try SA first and see what happens, God probably preparing a better home for you there... Kitakits.

@rareking thanks mate! actually pareho kayo ng agent ko ng sinabi. He said there should be no issues. eto nga ang dilemma namin ngayon. Kasi we planned it for so long about adelaide, we did some research, housing, jobs, budget namin. then after her relatives openly said they can help us. we can have free accommodation, help us to find job and suddenly parang another plan nanaman nito. pero I told my wife i really want to start a new life down under kahit na walang support from others since ayaw ko din kasi na magkaroon ng utang na loob hehe, though i am grateful na willing sila tumulong. thanks for your opinion mate. you have good points! god bless! see you there!

Hi guys, papunta na din kami Adelaide by 3rd week of March, baka may available din po na rooms for rent para sa family of 4, let me know..maraming salamat po
1. June pa kaming pamilya... curious lang ako kung ano plano nyo the initial days of arrival... hotel / hostel? It might be our plan too.... so you can check the actual rental place first before you commit....
2. another question is --- saang place ba dapat na maghotel/hostel.. dapat kailangang nasa CBD talaga?
Appreciate the inputs.. salamat.

hi all, i am planning to move to Adelaide by April / MArch 2015 with my friend, mauna muna kami before namin dalhin ang ibang family members to check the place. any help from you guys regarding a place to stay for short term lease at least a 2BR apartment? how much kaya ang rent? any advice initial money to bring to settle in SA?
bookwormCanberra Posts: 588Member Joined: Nov 27, 2013
@kiremedio check out airbnb. Same situation with me and my friend and I found that airbnb was the most value for money. I was able to book a 2br place for the same price as one hotel room. And per person, still cheaper even, than if we go to a hostel.

yup, especially kung friends kayo at 2 bedroom ang kailangan hehe. kung 2 kasi kayo share ng bayad, paying the per person fee of hostels is almost the same amount as an airbnb place. Pero baka sinuwete lang ako at nakakita ako ng 2 bedroom place.

@bhelle_mt02 sa airbnb, puwede ka maghanap ng bahay tlga o puwede din room. In my case, cottage ang na rent namin, 2 bedrooms with kitchen and living room. Better etong option na eto lalo kapag meron kayong kids na kasama. But take note, this is only for temporary accommodation ok? Kasi per night ang bayad dyan, parang hotel. Although may option din ata na long stay, pero mas mahal. Yung temp stay na ganito, puwede na mag book at magbayad in advance, like in my case. Pero yung pag rent ng apartment, kailangan ng face to face interview. You have to be there, and then i background check ka pa nila bago sila mag decide kung payag sila o hindi. hope this helps.

Hi, actually wala pa din nahahanap na accomodation by March kami pupunta dun..cguro daan muna Sydney mukhang mas mura nakikita ko fares from there to Adelaide e bisita na din sa ibang mga kilala at relatives for a few days. Based sa mga nakikita ko mga 250-300 2 bedroom house and upahan e mga 350 daw 3 br na..depende siguro sa area at kung fully furnished na..

@bhelle_mt02 in my case, Feb pa dating ko pero nung september pa lang ata, na book ko na yun. Oo, excited nga, but I wanted to be able to do everything I can already in advance. Ayaw ko maghintay ng last minute tsaka ko gagawin yan. So kung puwede ko na gawin ngayon, ginagawa ko na. Better prepared than not.
