Good day po, tanong ko lang po sana ulit.
Na grant na po yung PR application namin ni fiancée . Then plan po kasi namin mag first entry this August and plan namin to permanently move by January next year ("Hopefully everything goes well as we planned").
Ang question ko lang po is, pwede na po ba namin i-apply yung mga TFN, Bank Account then yung medicare and the rest is by January na? Few days lang kasi ung magiging pagpunta namin sa August dahil naubos na ang aming leave ) ) )
Thank you very much!
