So far ang gingagawa ko palang buy ticket, book Airbnb, and open ng NAB bank. Mabilis naman sila magreply meron na kami agad account number.
Tsaka pala nagprint ako ng maraming set ng visa grant letter, passports, birth certs and marriage certs baka kc need pag magaasikaso na ng papers pag dating dun.
God Bless sa bigmove natin. We will include you all in our prayers, sana maging smooth ang ating move by God’s grace.

You can apply for a tax file number online if you meet these three conditions:
1) You are a foreign passport holder, permanent migrant or temporary visitor.
2) You are already in Australia.
3) Your visa is one of the following:
-a permanent migrant visa
-a visa with work rights
-an overseas student visa
-a visa allowing you to stay in Australian indefinitely (including New Zealanders automatically granted a visa on arrival).
sa pagkakaintindi ko pagdating na pagdating mo doon tsaka palang pwde magonline, pero not sure padin, sana may makapag share ng experience nagapply outside australia. btw, Melbourne pala kami. ewan ko bakit mas gusto namin doon, hehehe

@k_ann_15 SG based din pala kayo. Convert din ako ng license to SG tpos convert to AU. pero si misis no choice kundi umuwi at mag aral sa pinas magmaneho. hehe. Kailan BM nyo?
Question pala sa lahat.
1. pede bang magkahiwalay ang PDOS namen family? Balak kasi namen ako mauuna sa AU pero galing SG so inde muna ako mag PDOS. Si misis naman uuwi kasama anak namen para magaral magmanaeho (sabi ko idamay na un magaral paano mag gupit ng buhok, ang mahal ng gupit nun nabisita ako sa Melbourne nakaraan, hehe).
So sila mag PDOS muna na inde ako kasama. Then pag nabakasyon nalng ako in the future galing AU saka ako mag PDOS o kuha ng exemption.
2. Sa PDOS ba pedeng si misis nalang mag punta at inde isama un anak namen para lagyan ng sticker un passport nun bata? Kasi 2 yrs lang anak namen. So medyo malikot pag sinama.
3. Awa ng Diyos at kung makahanap ako ng work sa AU in the future at nagbakasyon sa pinas, ilang buwan o taon ba dapat un nasa AU based na ako para makakuha ng exemption sa PDOS? Yun exemption ba kailangan pa rin kumuha online sked at tuesday lang? Pede bang mag walk in lang since d naman aattend ng seminar kun sakaling exempted naman.
Salamat sa lahat at God Bless sa mga nagaantay ng Grant at sa mga mag BM sa 2019.
