Migrating to Australia with high hopes

chococrinkle

Makiki comment din po ako sa priority lane ng DFA. I asked dito sa amin kung yung may ksamang bata na below 7 yrs old kung ilang family members ang allowed na kasama sa renewal, they said na the entire immediate family can be accommodated. Hopefully same rule din anywhere. :-)

Off topic: I'm selling 3 Opal Cards for those migrating to or visiting Sydney. My family and I used these cards when we were on vacation last 2016. Each card has a remaining load of AUD 35 or around 1400 PHP. I'm selling it at Php 1000 each free shipping within Metro Manila only. Let me know if you're interested.

"Centrelink to receive income support while looking for job"

Interesting. May ganito pala. May thread ba tayo dito about this? Are we qualified?

Edit: nevermind, I backread posts here and after 2 years pa pala pwede i-claim yung Newstart allowance hehe. We're not qualified with the other benefits na walang residency requirement (like family tax benefit or rent benefit)

Thanks!

sino po dito sydney bound? im torn between taking a taxi to cbd and taking train from airport. kasi parang 17 each ang train fare sa adults then 12 ata for kids, so lalabas 46 AUD, nabasa ko mejo struggle ang paglabas sa train station pag may dalang luggage. eh kung konti lang difference mag taxi na kami hehehe, thanks po sa mag share ng experience

PMPdreamer

@OZingwithOZomeness ako sir na experience ko to, ma expire na kasi passport namin mag asawa, kaya nirenew namin passport ng anak ko kahit may isang taon pa. baby pa kasi sha nung kinuhanan namin ng passport as in 2 weeks old. tas para wala ng tanong tanong dahil dalawa kaming mag renew na sabit sa priority lane, isinama ko din tatay ko na senior citizen. kahit hindi kelangan ng tatay ko kinuha ko sha ng passport kesa magbayad ako sa mga agency. in that way, maiiwasan ko na palakahin ang business nyang mga nag block ng sched. meron din silang parang roaming van per city, baka dun hindi na din kelangan ng sched...

engineer20

@PMPdreamer marami ba kayong bagahe? kasi kung kayang bitbitin may bus sa airport papunta ng burwood train station. ang nagpapamahal ng train fare from airport ay yung access fee which is $13.50 pero kung sa ibang train station na kayo sasakay mas mura na. pwede rin na kuha ng taxi once makalayo na ng airport taking the bus.

PMPdreamer

@engineer20 2 tig 30kg po, saka isang batang napakalikot :-) good idea po un, may idea po kayo hm ang taxi kahit estimate lang papunta cbd? thanks po ulit

agentKams

@PMPdreamer usually nasa $45 up ang bayad namin sa taxi from airport to philippine consulate sa sydney, depende sa traffic.

OZingwithOZomeness

@PMPdreamer Oo nga sir parang ganun nga rin ang naging diskarte ng kaibigan ko, pamangkin naman bitbit nya hehe. Ganun nga style para ma bypass yung appointment schedule na yan na binablock ng mga agency. Sa sydney po pala kayo sir, dyan din punta ko. Magtanong ako sa inyo sir next time pag settle na kayo dyan. Mga June pa kasi ako punta dyan. Goodluck 🙂
