    paano pala kung from 457 visa ka tapos naging PR ka while in australia pero ang family mo nasa pilipinas pa at naging PR na rin sila kailangan pa ba nilang dumaan sa PDOS? sa tingin ko hindi na siguro kasi ang the best na mag-oorient sa kanila eh ikaw na mismo. ano sa tingin nyo guys? thanks in advance.

    @VicThor I suggest mag-PDOS na lang yung family mo bro rather than risking na ma-Hold pa sila sa airport at makipagpaliwanagan and justification pa kayo sa PHL Immigration... Masstress at bad trip lang kayo on your way to Oz

    Been to Australia for 6 months now. Looking back, this are some of the most important things na ginawa ko dapat bago pumunta dito.

    1) All dental procedures for me and my family. Palinis, pa pasta, pa bunot, pa brace, etc.
    2) Footspa, medicure, manicure, massage, pagupit
    3) Umattend ng mga murang photography seminars/ workshops etc.

Plus you can access specialists sa pinas in a much cheaper price. dito dadaan ka pa sa mga GP as usual. Ok naman din dito pero mahal lang

    Kung normal lang na palinis baka di nman baka less than 1k cguro, or even less kapag sa far suburb ka tlaga. Ung sa anak ko kasi 6 na ipin dapat linisan, bata pa din kasi (3 years old) kaya dapat patulugin daw. Dapat daw sa hospital gawin. Di kasi sagot ng medicare un. Tapos baka late na din daw kapag nag private health insurance kasi may records na daw na nagpatingin, baka ma audit daw sila kapag biglang nag-claim. Shocked nga ako paglabas ko sa dental clinic, hahaha.

    Yung medicare, nagamit naman ng anak ko ng nagpatingin sa ubo, walang bayad bulk billing below 16 years old kasi. Ako naman, nagbayad 72dollars reimbursed kalahati, plus gamut sariling bulsa 30 dollars.

    Dapat pina pasta ko na din lahat sa ipin ko, sa healthway Greenbelt 5 Makati, 900 pesos lang bawat isang ipin, maginhawa pa, dito cgurado mahal. massage 500 pesos isang oras. 2 oras na foot massage/spa, pedicure less than 1000 pesos. Hahays, kaka miss haha

    Thanks! If in case kumuha na ako bg TFN, required na rin ba ako nun magfile ng ITR? Although wala akong ideclare na income since wala pa ako doon... Kumbaga for compliance lang...

    Ngreply na ang IOM sa akin. Dinirect nla ako sa Branch nla sa pinas... Just asking ganun din ba ginawa sa inyo? Sa mga ngbook through IOM? Trusted naman ano? Hehehe... Suspicious lng ako mhirap na... Usually anong airline ang inaavail ng iom?
    I believe Qantas ang airline.. Try mo rin tawagan ang Qantas to inquire about their special rate for new migrants. Sakin naman, nakabook na ako before ko nakita yong sa Qantas, so ang ginawa na lang nila e increase yong check in baggage allowance to 40kgs each, from 30 yan. So ok na rin :)

    @se29m: Thanks! I've checked SQ and Scoot pati na rin ang Jetstar. Parang 300 ang difference ng mga budget airlines sa SQ. though kung para sa anak ko kasi almost 7hours din ang travel parang mas ok na sa SQ. hehehe. niweiz we're planning to enter by April sana marami pang sale bago matapos ang taon. :)

    I'm not sure if this is the right thread but I need your input. My PR visa expires this coming July 2016 and I am finally planning to migrate in April 2016. My migration agent said that I will make sure to move in before my visa expires. Naka initial entry na ako sa Oz last 2011 and then went back to work in Africa. Question, kailangan ko pa ba irenew visa ko kahit andyan na ako sa Oz?

    @Malembemalembe yes, you have to go back australia before the visa expires. according sa agent namin, ito ung details that he specifically note to us:

    "once you have lived in OZ for four years you may have the option to apply for Austalian citizen. If not you will need to renew your visa as Resident Return VIsa. You will then get another 5 yrs of travel rights if you have spent at least 2 yrs in Australia during the initial five yr term. If you havent spent 2 yrs in Australia, you will be given a year's extension if you are able to prove 'close ties' to Australia such as having employment in Australia, financial ties, ownership of property, community ties (voluntary works), etc. At the end of the yr, they will access your renewal if need to obtain another 5 yr extension."

    Australian Lawyer yung agent namin from Melbourne, so hope it helps.
