Counting down to the big move - DITO tayo...

supertoblerone · February 2015

Good Afternoon!

Ask ko lang po if gaano katagal ayusin ang TFN, Centerlink, Medicare, at pagconvert ng Singapore license to Australia License.

Maximum stay ko po is 3 weeks lang. Do you think enough na po ba ito?

Salamat!
You can squeeze everything in 1 day mate...

Salamat boss! So 2 weeks pala is sobrang dami na palang time.

don't forget bank accnt opening or bank identification check & ATM card claim... pero opo, 2 weeks mahaba na. 1 week lang ako eh

wizardofOz · February 2015

@IslanderndCity yung ATM ba makukuha din within the same day na makipag-meet ka doon sa Migrant Staff ng Bank and ma-activate yung migrant account mo (e.g. NAB)?

IslanderndCity · February 2015

@wizardofOz in my case, nag-open ako offshore. told the bank staff sa day na puntahan ko ang branch nila to complete identification requirement and claim ATM card. ok naman po

jepoy527 · February 2015

@supertoblerone kaya ang bank acct opening, centrelink, medicare at tfn in a day. Ang tfn pwede online gawin. Yung atm, medicare card at tfn within 5~10 days makukuha na.

ang alam ko a week before ka pumunta pwede mo tawagan na darating ka at mag meet kau sa araw na ganito para iready na nila atm mo at makuha mo na after nyo magusap ng manager. Yun ang sabi sa akin ng staff ng ANZ sa australia, and most probably ganun din sa nab

bookworm · February 2015

Yes, ganun sa anz. Yung pagkuha lang ng license ang di pasok sa 3 weeks mo.

supertoblerone · February 2015

@jepoy527 @bookworm @vhoythoy @TasBurrfoot salamat boss. Has anyone tried converting their SG license to NWS or VIC license? So yung 2 weeks ba is enough na for this?

Please advise para makabook na ako ticket ulet.

bookworm · February 2015

Hindi. Kasi pag convert mo Sg license, you need proof of residency. Which means, either a lease, or utility bills in your name, 3 months worth.

IslanderndCity · February 2015

mates, nilinis ko na laman ng laptop ko. Pati po ba Visio installer at Autocad installer bawal? Baka ma-random check?

jepoy527 · February 2015

@IslanderndCity sa case ko tinanggal ko lahat ng pirated softwares pati mga installers. pagdating sa airport di naman binuksan. mas mabuti na sigurong safe mode kesa machambahan ka

vhoythoy · February 2015

This is it, 2nd week of May we will going to Australia. Mixed emotions, and most of the time mas nangingibabaw ang kaba kesa kasiyahan at excitement. Lalo na walang trabaho na daratnan at wala pang tiyak na titirhan paglapag sa Australia. Tinalikuran ang convenient na buhay dito sa Singapore, maayos na sweldo, maayos na buhay. Pero syempre may kulang, kaya naman sinikap na magkaroon ng visa at subukang mamumuhay sa Australia. Para sa kinabukasan ng pamilya, para sa anak, at para sa sarili din naman. Daming unknowns, bagong lugar, bagong makikilala, anong klaseng trabahong makukuha kung meron man, aabot ba ang baon, anong mga problema ang kakaharapin. Importante talaga ang lakas ng loob, tiwala sa sarili at preparasyong mental, dala ang maleta at kaunting baon. Bahala na, we just need to trust that everything will be OK, in time.

Sabi nga ni Steve Jobs, you can't connect the dots of your life looking forward, only by looking backwards. Then someday, you will understand.

"Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life". - Steve Jobs

wizardofOz · February 2015

God has BIG Plans in Australia for you and your Family @vhoythoy!

Trust in HIM... Goodluck!!

jepoy527 · February 2015

@vhoythoy don't be anxious, just enjoy your remaining days in SG. As long as you have plan(s) and work on it/them, you'll be fine! Pinoy tayo, di basta basta sumusuko. AHOO! AHOO!!

supertoblerone · February 2015

@bookworm meron option sa website nila:

https://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/licences

Evidence of Victorian residence

If you still cannot establish evidence of your Victorian residence, you must provide a referee statement which must:

be signed by a Victorian driver licence holder who has known you for 12 months or more, and includes the referee's name, licence number and signature.
This statement can be made on the learner permit or licence application form.

Nakita ko sya sa application form. So pede na pala ang friend ko na resident na for 2 years.

@vhoythoy hehe I feel you. Halos parehas tayo ng situation yun nga lang single ako. Dapat 1st week of May 2015 ang big move ko pero parang di pa ako ready financially, emotionally and physically. Lalo na pag wala ka work don medyo mahirap magkaroon ng financial stress.

So dito muna ako SG for about a year then BIG move next March 2016. Kayang kaya mo yan. Kaya naten to!!!

God Bless.

@IslanderndCity sa case ko tinanggal ko lahat ng pirated softwares pati mga installers. pagdating sa airport di naman binuksan. mas mabuti na sigurong safe mode kesa machambahan ka

Kahit po ba company laptop yun at dahil initial entry pa at babalik pa naman sa work sa SG?

ironman_gray22 · February 2015

@vhoythoy kaya yan bro. Keep your faith and trust in HIM. GOD bless kapatid and keep posted your journey.

@IslanderndCity basta rule of thumb bro, basta peke, illegal softwares, apps and downloads (movies, music, etc.) .. delete mo na..

basta ikaw ang may dala nung laptop or cellphone.. kahit company-issued pa yan, ikaw ang "owner" nyan when they inspect it.

jepoy527 · February 2015

@IslanderndCity it's better to err on the side of caution paps. Antagal mo inasam ang Au VISA tapos either mapapuwi ka lang or magmumulta ng malaki pag nahuli ka. Sayang naman ang pera at panahon, including yung humiliation na aabutin mo pag na feature ka sa tv program na border security ba yun?subukan mo manuod kahit isang episode sa youtube para malaman mo.hehe!
