hello! ask ko lng sana kung may idea kyo kung may courier/luggage services available sa airport sa australia like for sending luggages/boxes from sydney airport to bahay? plan namin imaximize ksi ung baggage allowance kaso parang mahirap itransport..example family of four (2 kids) kmi times 2 luggages of 20kgs per person..or any recommendations? thanks!
Use a maxi cab (van) from the airport to your accommodation. At Melbourne airport the taxi dispatcher will automatically assign a maxi cab if he sees that the party have a number of people/bags. Should be the same in Sydney I reckon
Hello kababayans, new PR’s po kami and we’ll be moving to Melbourne this June.
Sorry if these questions have been answered before…
1. Meron po ba kayong marerecommend na courier service, door-to-door shipping from Manila to Australia? We’ve checked forwarders like DHL etc, and they’re pretty expensive tapos konti pa yung kilos.
2. Yung hand carry cash, which is more cost efficient to bring? Yung USD or AUD? Saan mas okay magpa-palit, dito sa Manila or sa Australia na?
hi! pwede din po makahingi ng docs to bring list & sample resume/cover letter? I already pm peach17 pero hindi na yata sya active. I'm new to this forum. I'm planning to make my big move this year (3rd or 4th quarter). But before that I want to make sure na I'm prepared for everything. my email address is [email protected] TIA!

Question po, if 457 dependent visa kailangan pa ba mag PDOS? thanks
Hi, question about CFO PDOS, same lang ba yun sa POEA/OWWA PDOS? I'm on a 457 so I'm not sure san ako dapat kumuha. Thanks in advance sa advice.

di ko alam ,kasi di naman kami nagpa braces. pero be prepared kasi sobrang mahal dito times 8-10 cguro hehe. We enquire about the cost of the braces here and everything and they mentioned around 8k-15k AUD in the average. not sure sa maintenance, pero expect na mahal as compared sa pinas

Hello! Question po sa mga 489 visa holders, anong pre departure requirements ang hinanap ng airport immigration bago kayo umalis ng pinas papuntang AU? Need po ba ng PDOS?
@misisv not sure but in case of 189, PDOS is stated as requirement in the visa grant details po.

@momnijosh08 correct po si @engineer20 , but you still need to register sa CFO and have the sticker. I remember may kasabay kmi na ganyan din from Au na..pero nag attend din sya after registering sa CFO, pang refresh lang po yata nya...lets wait din for others na may experience same as you po.
