caienri · January 2019

@lilith hahahahaha resign agad? Baka on leave lang. hehe. Oo, dapat yung contact mismo. 2 silang contact na binigay sakin. Email mo silang dalawa.

Pixiepie · January 2019

@Mia.. Ay ganun, sa orientation nila yun ang binabanggit nila.. Na sangay lang nila ang POEA.. Or baka ibig lang sabihin nila is mas nauna sila nabuo kesa sa POEA.. Anyway, salamat sa pag correct..

1. how does it compare with PH and SG in terms of convenience?
Trains here in Melbourne are resemblance of Tokyo except for the timings.
Pwede kumain, they have interchanges too. Medyo luma na yung mga train platforms (and trains) compare sa SG.

If you live outside the CBD, may pailan ilang cases ng train delays and arrivals.

So to answer your question, siyempre SG pa din trains #1.

2. any recommendation and tips sa car rental and buying 2nd hand na car?

Hindi pa kami nakakabili ng auto but 2nd hand car din preference namin. noob ako sa kotse.
Do you have driver's licence at saang bansa naissue?

Goodluck

Hi @Pixiepie nag hotel kmi for 2 weeks prang caravan style sya here in melb. Nagkaroon agad yung hubby ko ng work so un yung ginamit namin to secure a rental house that time. Attached din namin yung house contract namin sa sg. Then ID’s. Sa Domain at Realestate app lng kmi naghahanap dati ng house then getting a car is helpful din kapag may inspection. Feb 1 kmi dumating ng melb nakkuha kmi ng house feb 14

@mycroft_holmes i think kapag share a room enough n yung passport and yeah photocard cguro for additional ID. Photocard is in sydney lng ata here in melb wlang ganon.

lilith · January 2019

hello question lang po - plan ksi namin ng husband ko sya lang muna magwwork sa melb. better pa rin ba magopen na ko ng sarili kong individual bank account?

adamwarlock · January 2019

@KIKO Thanks sa reply about sa transpo!

I have a PH driver's license pero will be converting it to SG license para pwede ring iconvert pagdating sa Melbourne.

Pixiepie · January 2019

@sansa Thanks sa reply, hindi p nkkkuha ng work mr. ko. Eto nhihirapan kmi mkakuha ng other option. Sabi ng agent, best to give daw 3 months advance upfront para makuha yung property.

Pixiepie · January 2019

Finally, my husband landed on a job.. After 3 weeks, technically 1 week after aussie offices vacay. So sa mg Engrs, going to Melbourne.. May job po talaga dito para sa atin! Wag kau mag alala... Pray lang.

Sa wakas may credential na for house rent.

mycroft_holmes · January 2019

Congrats sa inyo @Pixiepie

seekerAU · January 2019

@Pixiepie congratulations! Good luck!

ignorms · January 2019

@Pixiepie mahigpit ba sila sa pagpaparent ng house if wala pang work? Iniisip kasi namin na magpaschedule ng mga rental home viewing pagdating sa Adelaide, pero book na din kami ng mga two weeks via Airbnb para may matuluyan kami pagdating.

Tapos, with regards sa rental history, Pinas kasi kami, tapos nagbabayad kami ng home mortgage para sa bahay namin via bank autodebit. Pwede kaya yung autodebit deductions namin sa bank gamitin as reference document?

milktea13 · January 2019

@Pixiepie congrats po! Magkno po budget nyo while looking for job?

KIKO · January 2019

@adamwarlock - ayus. yan ang hindi ko nagawa.
Worth it naman ang Green P licence

fufudoods · January 2019

hi @sansa anong document (COE, contract or others) sa work ang binigay nyo sa agent para sa bahay? Kelangan ba naka-state sa document na yon ang salary?

sansa · January 2019

@fufudoods i think Coe ata submit namin request ka lng sa company. Not neccessary ata na may salary pa. Ttwag naman yung agent sa employer to make sure.

ClmOptimist · January 2019

Hi po. Meron po ba dito nag-withdraw ng Pag-ibig contributions? Pede po malaman kung pano? Thank you.

chococrinkle · January 2019

@fufudoods payslip is enough evidence, thats what we presented for proof of income. We also presented bank statement.

chococrinkle · January 2019

@ClmOptimist if your visa is 189 or 190 you can withdraw your pag-ibig contribution. Pero if 489 or other temporary visa, di ba pwede. They need to see sa visa na permanent residents na.

Pixiepie · January 2019

Hi @ignorms hindi ko lang alam sa Adelaide.. Pero dito sa suburbs ng Melbourne medyo nahihirapan kami. Even if ipakita mo pa ang bank statement.. Upfront nanghihingi sila ng 3 months, hindi ako comfortable dun. Pero nitong nakaraan, since 3 weeks na kami sa friend ko tapos ndi pa tapos yung bahay ng friend nya n lilipatan namin willing na sana kami magbigay ng 3 months adv. God is good talaga, nagka work nmn husband ko.

Yung iba dito mabilis lang nmn naka rent ng house.

Yung rental history sa pinas ndi ata uubra, dapat ata may statement and contact no. ka iprovide ng agent nyo or house owner.

Antayin din natin iba mag feedback, kasi meron iba nagamit yung sa Singapore rent history at references.

Hello po, makikitanong lang sana ako— don’t know anong thread best for this issue pero ito lang nakikita ko.

My partner and I were recently granted 189 visas (Jan 14). Nag sched na kami ng PDOS for Jan 29. We plan to do the initial entry together sa holyweek. Then baka mauna ako pero start of 2020 pa tapos siya siguro end of 2020. No issue naman yun for as long as maka enter kami sa date indicated sa grant diba (vefore Sept 2019)? And ano kailangan for initial entry just the PDOS and grant letter?

Nabalitaan ko na with the sticker exempted from the 1620 tax. Only on flights to Australia? What if may tourist trip ako to HK for example di counted yun?

We’ll also be doing the IE for around 10 days— ok na ba magasikaso ng documents sa Australia noon (&ipadala sa bahay ng friend namin) or pag nag big move na talaga?

Thank you and paumanhin sa dami ng tanong. Cheers!

ClmOptimist · January 2019

@chococrinkle visa 189 po ako. Can it be done online? o need magpunta to any Pagibig branch? Ano po mga requirements? Thanks.

Yes. No issue.

Yes. Passport xempre.

hehe

Sa first time yata, hindi exempted. Sinabi din sa PDOS na we have to pay travel tax. Pero pagbalik mo the following applies:
Filipino permanent residents abroad whose stay or visit in the Philippines is less than one year. Need ng travel tax exemption certificate.

Bank and phone asikasuhin nyo cguro. The rest sa big move na since mejo matagal pa bago kayo mag big move. But if you like to really process, pede nmn i try. Hehe.

chococrinkle · January 2019

@ClmOptimist You need to visit pag-ibig office and present your visa grant letter. After that they will advise what to do.

ClmOptimist · January 2019

Thanks po @chococrinkle

Capitol · January 2019

Hello! We are planning our big move to Sydney this May. We have some questions that hope you guys can help us with.

1. Ok lang ba na ang IE namin is ang BM na rin namin?
2. Need ba na sabay kami mag IE/BM ni wife ko or ok lang na mauna ko then sunod na lang sya? We are planning na mauna ko around May para makahanap ng work before sya sumunod.
3. How long is the validity of the CFO PDOS? Ok lang ba na magseminar na ko kahit sa May pa alis ko?
