    sagutin ko lang din kahit di para sa akin ha :)>- yup pwede po ito para makapag transfer ng money sa australia. halos lahat ng banks sa australia meron migrant banking scheme. in my case westpac & commbank ang kinoconsider ko. usually pwede ka na magopen 3 months before ka pumunta, pero sa westpac kahit 12 months before. eto yung mga links for further info:

    @RED @mistakenidentity

    Nag-Initial Entry ako before Christmas 2014, 6 days sa Sydney, 4 days sa Melbourne 

    Sa Sydney ako nag-land mga 9:30PM, smooth lang yung pagdaan ko sa Immigration and Customs.. habang nakapila sa Immigration, may nag-iikot na Customs tapos nagtatanong kung may dala kang food or pera na more than 10K AUD and chncheck yung declarations mo doon sa customs form…

    Sa Immigration naman hiningi lang passport ko, then wala nang tanong tanong tinatakan lang ng Arrived then sinabi dun na daw ako lumabas sa ‘Nothing to Declare’ ng Customs.. Then sa Customs, may nakaabang doon na officer kukunin nya yung form mo…

    Mga 10:30PM na ko natapos, sa airport mismo may train station (Airport Link) papuntang City kaya bumili nako nung 7-day MyMulti Pass (~$88) na pwedeng magamit unlimited rides sa Buses, Trains, and Ferries.. Yun na rin ginamit kong transport From/To the Airport kaya nakatipid ako sa Taxi.. mga ~$50 kasi one-way ng Taxi from Airport to City...

    Naglakad lang din ako from Train station to my hotel, then may mababait na Aussie na tumulong sakin i-locate yung hotel sa maps ng phone nila.. Sarado na kasi mga shops sa Airport kaya wala pakong SIM.

    Malapit sa Central Station yung nakuha kong accommodation ‘Oaks on Castlereagh’, walking distance lang yung CBD, Shopping District (Westfield, Queen Victoria Bldg., etc.) and mga 30 mins walk yung Sydney Opera House and Circular Quay… Mga first 2 days ko lakad-lakad lang ako para ma-familiarize ako sa doon sa City.

    Madali lang i-navigate yung City, and magkakadikit yung attractions.. then pwede nyo magamit yung MyMulti ticket nyo to go to the beach areas (Bondi, Manly) or sa Taronga Zoo, pati doon sa papuntang Blue Mountains..

    Maganda yung Vibe ng Sydney nagustuhan ko sya talaga hehehe :)

    Melbourne naman, kakaiba sya sa Sydney… medyo European yung feel, saka maraming mga Museums.. Madali lang din umikot sa City kasi may Free na Tram doon sa touristy na mga zones…

    Based sa experience ko mababait yung mga Aussies and matulungin sila, saka mahilig silang mag-enjoy and magkatuwaan.. parang mga pinoy din :)

    The may mga pinoy din ako na-meet, friendly din sila, kwento kwento na maswerte daw tayo na before pa tayo magpunta sa Australia ay Permanent Resident na tayo...

    Tapos nag-offer din sila, if ever daw need ko ng accommodation, may room daw sila na available..

    Kelan plano nyo Initial Entry?

    @RED same question din ako actually para kay @wizardofOz.

    kasya kaya 1000 AUD for 10 days(2 adults+1 4years old). my na set ako na buffer na 500. pero sana di na magamit. the hotels na pinili ko are yung tam lang at okay para within the budget din.

    share ko lang yung sa amin:
    ticket(quantas sg-syd, syd-mel, mel-sg cheaper compared sa iba) - 2725 sgd
    syd hotel(4 nights) - 578 sgd
    melby hotel(4 nights) - 599 sgd
    pocket money - 1000 aud

    @RED ito nagastos ko (in USD):

    BKK-SYD: 426 (Thai Airways Promo with Food and Luggage included)
    SYD-MNL: 602 (Cebu Pac Regular Fare, Food and Luggage not included)
    SYD-MEL (RT): 200
    SYD-Hotel (6 nights): 727
    MEL-Hotel (4 nights): 410
    Pocket Money: 1,200 (approx., includes Food, Transpo, konting Souvenirs and Pasalubong, Misc)

    Total ~2838 USD


    Airfares/Hotel medyo mahal, kasi 4 days before nung trip ko lang sya nabook. Yung kinuha ko na hotels are actually serviced apartments with kitchenette, within walking-distance lang sya from the CBD or City Centre... ok narin kasi nakatipid ako sa food dahil nakakaluto ako and sa hotel na ko kumakain kung kakayanin naman mag-dropby..

    Yung pocket-money, medyo tipid yan sa food, yun lang din kasi ang pwedeng tipirin

    @magoo_z i-update ko lang yung sa pocket money

    Pocket Money: 1,200 (approx., includes Food, Transpo, konting Souvenirs and Pasalubong, Misc)
    I-bawas ko pala dyan yung around USD400, kasi nag BridgeClimb ako (umakyat sa Sydney Harbour Bridge hehe), AUD368 yun, saka may binili kasi akong pasalubong na around AUD130..

    so for 1 Adult, siguro kaya ng USD800, pero tipid talaga yan sa food..

    @RED Yung kinuha ko kasi is yung Twilight climb, may mahal pa doon yung Night Climb saka Dawn.. pinakamura nila is Day Climb.. pero sulit na din, may kasama ng pictures yung kinuha ko... Mahal nga yung BridgeClimb, inisip ko na lang na di bale kikitain mo naman ito uli hehehe..

    Tama ka, mas maganda yung sabay Big Move na agad para isang bagsak na gastos na lang.. like for example yung sa 10 days na yun, pwede nang isingit sa pasyal yung pag-tingin sa mga properties for rent or yung pag-ayos ng medicare at social security...

    Salamat sir @RED :)
    @mistakenidentity pwede na po ba mag-open ng account kahit di ka pa nag-initial entry? at wala ka pa sa AU?
    sensya na po sa tanong. hehe. nakita ko kasi sa mga nagpeprepare na na nag-open na sila ng bank account.

    thanks.
    sagutin ko lang din kahit di para sa akin ha :)>- yup pwede po ito para makapag transfer ng money sa australia. halos lahat ng banks sa australia meron migrant banking scheme. in my case westpac & commbank ang kinoconsider ko. usually pwede ka na magopen 3 months before ka pumunta, pero sa westpac kahit 12 months before. eto yung mga links for further info:
