    my gulay, i have a commbank bank account and the transfer fee is 22aud, lugi exchange rate notwithstanding, the person receiving the funds will have to pay 50 when he gets the money, so the recipient gets (amount sent - 50). gosh, aside from opening a new account in citibank or NAB, any pinoyau members tried money transfers? (western union charges 50dollars for sending 450aud, btw)

    3 things:

    (1) Bawasan mo bagahe mo...
    (2) Ipa-ship mo gamit mo...
    (3) Bayad ka ng excess baggage which can easily cost $25/kilo...

    pagkain lang na-miss ko diyan sir. (mutton briyani, steam chicken rice, mee rebus, charsiew, prata, economic beehoon) pero lahat ok naman dito, halos pareho lang minus the stress. Totoo mahirap trabaho dito, hindi guaranteed makakahanap ng parehong work last time pero kung hindi maselan, maka-survive po kahit odd at casual jobs. Kahit kitchenhand kaya kumuha ng mortgage dito. Wala rin kami kilala dito noong una, ngayon madami na rin kaya hindi naman malungkot. Sanayan lang din.

    sa mga nasa SG dati na bago nagpunta OZ umuwe ba muna kayo nang Pinas bago lipad to OZ?

    ano mga pinagagawa nyo nun? hehe : )

    alin ang mas praktikal?

    let's say may ipon ako savings kunware lang 15K

    praktikal bang isama na agad yung family of two agad pagpunta initially sa OZ? o iwan muna sila sa pinas till makahanap nang work or atleast bago maexpire yung 1 year na palugit to activate the PR VISA

    may gumawa naba nito? maraming salamat sa makakatulong

    I haven't lost everything except my mind...

    @thegreatiam15 planning to move to Sydney na rin soon from SG. Sa mga nabasa ko, better to go there directly from SG or from anywhere except Pinas. Immigration sa pinas will look for PDOS stamp. So you have to attend muna for you to be permitted to go to Australia. Sa case mo kasi parang unemployed ka lalabas ng bansa. Haven't tried pero parang yan ang mangyayari.

    I also have my wife and son with me but if I don't get the job (....that I am waiting), I will go there alone muna to look for a job then pag meron na (at di nakahanap ng ibang asawa. LOL. joke lang!), e kukunin ko mag-ina ko. Pero if you have a budget naman of at least 6mos estimated expense in Au and you still have loads of money back in SG or Pinas apart from that, pwede mo na rin dalin family mo para mas masaya and better if both you and your partner will look for a job, unahan na lang!

    Goodluck sa tin!

    I see maraming salamat

    anyone can confirm the above statement especially yung sa PDOS please share you're experience hehe : )

    btw minsan nga iniisip ko nga kung SG ba muna or PINAS napansin ko kasi yung iba nauwe nang pinas pero kung alin ang mas praktikal yun hindi ko sigurado

    kung sakali man mauna ako magiging smooth sailing ba flight nang magina ko papunta OZ hindi ba mahahassle sa atin?

    Hi!

    Same situation here... 1st plan namin ay mauna muna ang isa to look for a job.. pero iniisip din ng wife ko na sabay-sabay na lang kaming family. ipon-ipon din ng pambaon kasi medyo risky especially we're not PR here in SG. =)

    Ayon sa mga taga dito, kung sa first entry mo galing ka ng SG, ndi mo na kailangan ng PDOS. Pero once na umuwi ka ng pinas for vacation (let's say AU PR pa din and status mo), kailangan mo pa din kumuha ng PDOS.

    big deal ba yung PDOS?

    gaano ba kahaba ang processing nun kung sakali? : )

    yup I did a check din previously, parang every Tuesdays and Thursdays lang a schedule ng seminar for Australia immigrants tapos no online reservation kaya first come first serve basis sa 60 slots per day. Wheew! pero sa mga feedback naman na nakita ko mukhang di ka naman daw mauubusan at maayos naman daw processing nila on that day. Pero baka di ko na rin gawin ung route na un. Parang OEC lang yan e, di ka pwede lumabas ng wala nun unless (1) ma-prove mo na bakasyon lang kayo sa Au or (2) medyo kasasagot lang ng nililigawan ni kuya customs sa kanya, lahat pwedeng umalis. Hehe

    The best talaga umuwi muna kasi unlike SG, baka madalang na umuwi pag nasa Aussie na. Ewan ko lang din pero most likely that will be the case.

    @yosh10, matagal ko na gusto maglagay ng signature ng milestones sa visa application....pano ba? haha parang ang saya e. thanks!
