japsdotcom · December 2018

@dark_knight Thank you. Yes may work na pag dating. ang masakit start agad. sana makahanap kami ng bahay before dumating sa AU.

dark_knight · December 2018

@japsdotcom Usually saturday naman ang viewing. Narrow down you choices between 2 suburbs tapos puntahan nyo lahat ng kaya nyo puntahan.

Kami 1 saturday naka 8 ata kami, pero magkakalapit naman yun. Nakakapagod pa din pero nakuha din naman namin yung gusto naming apartment.

Hi nappy new year! Pwede na po ba dalhin ang chicharon at polvoron to Oz? May nabasa lang kasi ako sa ibang forums na pwede na "daw". Thank you!

Paano kayo nagpadala ng pera to Australia? Ano advantage/disadvantage between bank ang money exchange? Im in UAE. TIA

mas mataas ang palit kapag via remittance centers kesa sa bank.

Based on my experiencce, TransferWise gamit ko to send money. It has fewer transfer fees than in a bank. I do it online so hindi na ko nagppunta ng banko.

@lime Are you referring to employer sponsorship or skilled migration?

For employer sponsorship, you may refer to this https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/temporary-skill-shortage-482/short-term-stream#Eligibility

If skilled migration, check the specific occupation that you are applying and the assessing authority https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/working-in-australia/skill-occupation-list

Maybe this is your code 392311 Printing Machinist and the duties and responsibilities should be as mentioned in this http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/[email protected]/Product+Lookup/19E53E29DFCE4CCBCA257B9500131142?opendocument

If that's your code then assessing authority is TRA and not vetasses. Dyan nyo po ipapa-assess yung working experience nyo to know how many points you'll receive. While waiting for your work experience outcome letter, you need to take the english exam (IELTS/PTE).

Hi question lang po..Safe po ba ang transactions thru iRemit to transfer funds from PH to Au? I just want to know po yung experience ng iba. Hoping that you could share info -
1) if they have competitive rates sa fee
2) fast transaction in depositing money to your AU account
3) reliability

Thank you..

@barbedwire thank you very much

von1xx · October 2019

Hello, up ko lang yung thread. Ask ko lang ano-anong gamit ang dinala nyo nung nagmove sa Aus?

aja675 · November 2019

Um, would looking for reviews of potential places to move be a good one? Minsan, parang kakalito sila eh. Mga ibang lugar, maraming fans at haters at the same time. Or is there an aspect of, "Palibhasa, 'di naman sila galing sa third-world country, they wouldn't know an actual bad area if it slapped them in the face"? TBH, this isn't a suggestion, but a question.

ali0522 · January 2020

pwede po ba magapply na ng TFN two weeks before the big move online, meron na po kaming permanent address?

Hello po,

Would like to ask for advise kung anong suburb/area po between Brisbane and GoldCoast ang ideal for someone like me na maghahanap pa lang ng work between those 2 cities, na may tight budget for flatting.
I don't want to stick with Brisbane kasi kung may work sa Gold Coast eh masyadong malayo.
And tanong ko na din yung easiest way of transportation when I'm able to settle in between those cities.

Thank you po.

Hello po, nasa gc po ako ngayon. I recommend po to stay near tram para accessible po lahat sainyo. Student po ako. School ko po nasa Brisbane City, work ko po andito sa GC. Pero depends din po kasi sa case ninyo kung san po ang work ninyo. Hehe, you can check po sa maps lahat pati timetable ng transpo from point to point po even day of travel maiadjust niyo din po. hope it helps.

noelxmas · August 2021

hello po, nag-peprepare na po ako ng mga docs na dadalhin sa AU para by the time na ma-grant na yung visa namin (manifesting), ay wala na po kaming kulang. ask ko lang po if pagmag-aapply ba ng credit card sa Australia, hahanapin po ba nila yung credit history mo sa bansa na pang-gagalingan mo? para po sana ma-prepare ko narin toh if ever kailangan talaga. TIA po sa mga sasagot.

Today I learned I need to execute an SPA (Special Power of Attorney) para sa isang property na hinuhulugan ko para may makapag-lakad on my behalf pag nakapag big move na. I'm now looking at other things na kelangan ng SPA para isang execution na lang. One thing to consider before flying Magastos kasi pag nagpa-SPA sa AU since sa consulate pa yon inonotarize at ipapadala pa raw dito yung papers.

Potential for transfer, particularly in Australia which has a lot of red tape for offshore sponsorship, is often unlikely unless you work in a high-demand industry, for example healthcare. Not to discourage you naman! Still worth asking.

As for step by step, we need more information to guide you—are you a fresh graduate, working? What's your occupation? Iba-iba kasi ang options depending on your profile. You can either shoot for visa sponsorship or general skilled migration (GSM). Start here by searching for your profession: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/working-in-australia/skill-occupation-list That will give you a list of visa options via GSM. And then just read up on each visa, the Immigration website is well-maintained so the high-level stuff is there, like yung mga step-by-step. You can easily Google for example "190 visa australia" and as long as you refer to the official site immi.homeaffairs.gov.au you're sure to find the info, for example: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/skilled-nominated-190.

Read up muna on those options and see what fits your background.

Sorry kala ko onshore na looking for job na.. Anyways, first thing you can do is assess mo muna yung sarili mo. Basa2 lang po sa mga thread dito para maassess mo din sarili mo muna kung kaya mo ba kumuha ng work sa australia or magaapply ka as skilled migrant which is dapat yung occupation po is nasa list ni dha (department of home affair australia)..and kung magpapalipat ka din ng au based possible naman po check nyo po yung visa482. also marami ding legit agent dito you can book an assessment with them.
