BM Questions - Finance, Rental and ID

cheesyfiona · April 2018

Hi mga ka-pinoyau, I'm researching on how to go about the big move, and I'm at a loss most especially on how to establish my finances / credit standing.

- Can I apply for a credit card agad if I have good credit standing here in the Philippines?
- How do I go about renting as a migrant? Pano pag walang cheke for PDC (do they even do that there?) at hindi naman nila ko maba-background check dahil migrant?
- Does anybody keep a PH credit card until such time na maging eligible to apply in AU?
- What IDs can we apply for as a migrant except for license?

Thanks a lot for any input. If it helps, planning to move to a Melbourne suburb.

@cheesyfiona Base on experience:

- How do I go about renting as a migrant? Pano pag walang cheke for PDC (do they even do that there?) at hindi naman nila ko maba-background check dahil migrant?
- weekly rent is paid either by Direct Debit or EFT. hindi uso ang PDC cheque dito. they have ways to credit check you even if your a migrant. i don't know if its true, but yes they have ways.
- Does anybody keep a PH credit card until such time na maging eligible to apply in AU?
- i still keep my BPI cc no problem naman.
- What IDs can we apply for as a migrant except for license?
- proof of age i think. in particular, what purpose for the other ID's when you have AUS license here, Aus debit card and passport they can pass for the 100 points of identification na.

@agentKams Sorry I didn’t see this right away. Thank you for your inputs. I might apply for proof of age ID kasi baka matagalan pa mag apply ng license. Thanks again
