Hello! We received our grant last Wednesday. Dahil nag sign kami health undertaking napabilis ang IED.. June 6. My relatives are in Brissy.

Question naman... sa mga nag BM na sa Brisbane, yung rent ng house. Mga gano kayo katagal naghanap? Tsaka parehas ba dito satin na may 1 month deposit 1 month advance ang bayadan? Cash payment o pwede card?

Thank you

Hello! Congratulations on receiving your visa grant. In my case, I was granted my visa last December 2015 and I planned to land in Brisbane on June 2016. I looked for different places to rent as soon as my visa was granted, but I kept on getting refused because my date of arrival was so far away. So I ended up just looking for a room for rent in a houseshare a few weeks away from my date of arrival and then asked a friend to inspect the room for me. I stayed in that houseshare for about 6 months and eventually applied for my own apartment through an agency (LJ Hooker) and then been living in that apartment ever since.

Now, in your case, since you have relatives in Brisbane, perhaps you can ask them to inspect the places for you as well. To answer your other questions:

Tsaka parehas ba dito satin na may 1 month deposit 1 month advance ang bayadan? Cash payment o pwede card?

Thank you

Usually, the payment is two weeks worth of rent plus bond, which is an additional 4 weeks worth of rent. (Note: As defined by Residential Tenancies Authority, a rental bond is a security deposit a tenant pays at the start of a tenancy. It is held by the RTA and is paid back to the tenant at the end of the tenancy provided no money is owed to the property manager/owner for rent, damages or other costs.) So, for instance, if my rent is $340 per week, my initial payment would be $680 for two weeks worth of rent plus $1360 for bond, so a total of $2040. Payment through bank transfer is the common way of paying for rent here.

Remember you have to comply with the conditions of your visa to be eligible to apply for 887 PR visa.Breach of visa conditions yan which can be a ground for deportation or you have no chance to be granted PR visa. Check the postcodes where you are allowed to live and work. You need proof of living and working in a regional area when you apply for 887 visa.

momnijosh08 · October 2017

Help naman guys... mag 6 months na kami ng family ko wala pa din kami work.

Any tips. Sa mga nagsettle dito brissy... agad ba inline sa work experience nyo sa pinas ang jobs nyo dito.

We are both engineers. Hubby is mechanical. Experience is more on process engineering. Ang hirap hirap makaland sa kahit interview man lang.

Referrals naman....thanks

agentKams · October 2017

@momnijosh08 hello sorry to hear about that. i think its about time you need to check other areas. ganyan din kami, though not in brisbane, regional QLD pa, so mas mahirap maka-land ng job inline sa previous experience. Try odd jobs po muna, after almost 2 years dun lang nakaland ng job si hubby inline sa experience niya. as for me, mga 6 months naman but part time.

momnijosh08 · October 2017

@agentKams hello!
Aww so you guys are staying sa regional qld? Hirap nga talaga. Magtry na kami ng odd jobs nga. Thank you.

If you dont mind... anong line of work nyo right now

agentKams · October 2017

@momnijosh08 finance ako, hubby is inventory controller sa fulltime job niya, and part time sa woolies. kaya niyo iyan sis mas malaki chance niyo kasi PR na kayo.

momnijosh08 · October 2017

Ok @agentKams thank you. Sana nga makahanap na.

vhoythoy · October 2017

Hanap2 lang ng work, kung PR kayo try to expand your search sa different states ng Australia. We are previously from Melbourne then moved to regional QLD, Toowoomba (mga less than 2 hrs drive to Brisbane). Marami din pinoy sa Brisbane, kahit dito sa Toowoomba pero mostly sa Asian shops ko sila madalas makita

momnijosh08 · October 2017

Sige noted yan @vhoythoy
Wow toowoomba I heard is booming. Kaso as for us.. medyo ayaw pa namin malayo sa mga relatives namin dito kasi may bata kami. Pero yeah try din namin yan..

So kelan kayo nasa Melby? Mga gano katagal kayo before you were offered a job? Anong industry if I may ask?
