PR Granted - Money needed to prepare before moving to Melbourne Australia

zoom · May 2012

Hi Everyone,

How much money do you need to prepare to at least secure yourself and family for 3 month worth of job hunting in AU, if you have a PR visa? Lets say sa Melbourne, how much money on hand meron ka once you land in AU.

Thanks!

same question, magkano kelangan iprepare? mga 500K ba?

Depende yan kung saan location mu balak tumira, sa central district, w/in 5km ng cbd or w/in 10km or outer suburbs. Prepare for rental cost of $300-500/week, +rental bond of 1month worth. Food for $100-150/week. Transpo (depende kung saan ka) but prepare at least 50/week. Kuryente, probably 100-150month. Water bill (depende sa rental agreement). Entertainment 100-200 (+ticket costs) a night (dine out, movie/theatre).

Be aware na karamihan ng mga employer nag iinterview lang ng face to face. There are some who can do it over the phone but only a handful that I know.

yup, for couple $10k is enough. even i think for family of 3. First 2 months nio expect na masyadong magastos kc u have to buy lots of things...agreed sa figures given by Davidx23, but u can cut it down since expected na as newly arrive migrants u r careful sa budget. u can cut out entertainment fully, ung kuryente naman kapag shared accomodation kasama na xa sa rent. for 2 bedroom apartment dito sa melbourne, u can get a decent house for $300/week. ung sa food naman, hindi na din masyadong tipid ang $100/week including basic kitchen stuff and toiletries. kaya yan! do the move!

ah ok, so tama pala estimate ko na 500K petot... sige ipon nako, meron nako 20K

stolich18 · June 2012

^ kaya yan @icebreaker1928! Ipunin na lahat ng bonus and bawasan muna ang expenses hihiih

faye · June 2012

Ask ko lang po for couple ba $10k lang ang allowed na perang dalhin? Kasya na ba un sa oz?

Thanks!

stolich18 · June 2012

@faye sabi nila kasya na raw yun eh

stolich18 · July 2012

Do you guys buy lunch or bring packed lunch to work?

faye · July 2012

Reply to @stolich18: Thanks! Ngwworry kc ako bka kc d kasya at mahal bilihin dun. Sa sydney pa naman kami pero mkkitira kami pansamantala sa uncle ni hubby

2rmobile · January 2013

@stolich18 pack lunch.. its by choice.. wala naman kanin/ulam sa resto so microwave ko na lang sa pantry ang lunch ko.. hehe. i often eat sa harap ng computer and they dont mind at all...

@faye yep mahal sa sydney.. but 10k is not bad for a couple since may accomod na kayo. Pero kung wala kang kilala.. mabilis lang ang 10k i think bec of the rent. Pero dont get discouraged that you need more and more money to prepare... its the diligence and will to survive..

faye · January 2013

@2rmobile thank u!!!

Puwede po ba matanong kung magkano dapat ang iniipon pag single at sa Sydney madedestino?

I'm seeing $10k as an adequate budget for couples so, is it safe to estimate $5k is good enough for a single guy in Australia? hehe

Kailangan nya na ng car... petrol pa lang mauubus na budget nya

.. iba pa yung pasyal.. may bayad ang bawat entrance

cguro doblehan nya na...

pero ipriority muna nya ang paghanap ng work. Pag may work na sya mas marami na sya makilala na girls. Kasi sa office madami naman friendly dun. Goodluck

@LokiJr Kung room lang muna rent mo pede na yan. Kung uupa ka ng house kulang $5k.

sherneb · January 2014

Yn bng limit na $10k, is that per head if for the entire family?

entire family...

it is not entirely limit naman; if you want to bring $10K there is no problem with that as long as you declare it properly.

however, who would want to bring that huge amount of money diba? baka mawala pa...

wynx · May 2014

hello guys,

my flight to move to Australia is scheduled on June 28. im a bit worried talaga kung magkano dapat at kailangan na dalhin na pera. im single by the way. so mabuti na lang at nagkaroon ako ng idea nung mabasa ko dito ung mga post nyo. pro kung may mga tipid tips pa kau, i would really appreciate it. bilang beginner and newcomer, that would really be helpful.

wizz · May 2014

@wynx at least $10k i think.

Naku LokiJr hindi yata uubra pagka gwapings mo na dito. Ako nga eh sabi daw ng kapitbahay ko sa Pinas noon. Ang guapo ko daw puede daw ako mag artista kaya lapitan ako nun eh ng mga girls. Pero nung nag migrate na ako dito nalaman ko kaya pala walang nagkakagusto sa akin na girls dito kasi daw naging ordinary na lang daw ang itsura ko.

acheche....
