  Hi, new member here. Just want to ask if there are any (Industrial) designers here, specially residing in SA? Football (Soccer) fans? How about childcare teachers? Trying to gather connections din. We just lodged this month and trying to submit all the documents as early as possible. Hopefully we get it this year so we can plan for the big move by next year.

  Football fan here...

  I saw you started a thread nga regarding that! Hopefully dumami pa tayo so we can play any pick up games or start a PFC-AU haha. Still trying to gather info about Pinoy-Au football communities there pero si sir Elmer Bedia pa lang ang alam kong active na andiyan. Transfer na lang sa thread na ginawa mo if you have any info hehe. Salamat!

  Have you tried asking the bank directly?
  
  Diba they just send out a new card once near expiry na ang current card mo? If your address is current, then you should receive your new card sometime next year.

  @TasBurrfoot

  By the way, kapag nagtake at nakapasa ba ako ng BTT at FTT dito sa SG, pwede ko magamit yan sa AU? recognised ba nila yan?

  if I take the BTT to convert my Phil license into an SG license. Conversion na lang din ang mangyayari to get an AU license tama po ba? No need to take any tests at all?
  
  nope...

  @rocky2013
  For SG COC, just bring ung Acknowledgment letter ng DIBP pag lodge mo then other docs just check it here
  
  For medical, sa immi account mo merong "Get Health Details" yta sa baba ng every person na andun, makikita mo dun ung HAP ID. Then pa-schedule ka sa Point Medical or SATA, need mo iprovide ung HAP ID na yan sa knila.
