BIG MOVE 2019

kriscandy · July 2019

Pwede na din pala tayo mkapag bakasyon sa NZ nito

swish19 · July 2019

@ms_ane yeah! mejo nga, kaya di ko na finollowup yung medicare ko kasi mgrregister din nmn uli pagdating ng family. natawagan ko na hotline nila at nakuha ko na number ko. In terms of efficiency eh mejo need ng patience talaga since naasanay sa sg.

@yosh10 naisip ko na din yan, nsw photo ID meron kaso in 2 weeks time din, might as well wait for the medicare nlng which sabi ng nakausap ko sa phone ay madedeliver nmn.

Thanks all!

Hi po, sa mga globe user po na nkaregister yung number nila dun sa OTP ng online bank nila, ano po ginawa nyo? dinala nyo po yung sim card nyo para continue yung account nyo? nkakareceive p rin po b ng messages kpag nanjan na sa AU? pde ba change to AU number? Salamat po.

cucci · July 2019

@Marites_47 I maintain both Globe and Smart to for OTP and other needs. Wala naman charge ang incoming sms. I doubt if PH banks would accept foreign numbers for the OTP.

Marites_47 · July 2019

Ah, ok. bka imaintain ko nlng din po. Thank you @cucci

may nakausap ako bdo rep recently kasi tinanong ko rin yan. pwde daw sila tawagan kapag nandun na para palitan ung mobile number with local number sa australia. so guess it’s possible.

alternatively, meron rin sila otp generator. kailangan mo lang gamitin ung mobile app nila to generate the otp. natest ko na siya with our bdo and eastwest accounts. gumagana naman.

quantum · July 2019

@Marites_47 naginquire din ako sa bpi, pwede naman daw na ung number mo na sa australia gamitin for OTP, basta update mo lang sila once may number kna.

Marites_47 · July 2019

Nice. Thank you @tofurad @quantum

So happy for everyone who has made the big move and excited for those who will be making theirs soon! I'm awaiting my visa grant for 190 VIC and hoping to make my big move before the year ends. God bless to all po.

arcsump · July 2019

Congrats sa mga mag BM!

few questions:

eto ang planned sequence for fixing things up upon arrival:

Mobile Number AU (Optus preferred, any kiosks in the Airport?)

Centrelink CRN
ATO TFN
Bank Account ( Any suggestions?)
Medicare
.
.
.
White Card ( Might be working in the Construction Industry)
.
.
.
Driving License ( within 3 months?)

anything I missed?

Thank you and good day!

P.S.

BM on the 16th of July, Melbourne Area, together with my now-wife ( 189 visa, De-facto, Direct Grant)

Understanding ko, pang AU na PDOS ang kelangan.
May CFO sticker na ilalagay sa passport, bearing their name and the status EMIGRANT as well as the country to migrate and date issued.

Once in a lifetime lang naman ito :-)
kaya ingatan ang passport pagkalagay nito

Hello. Ask ko lang po sana kung sino po sainyo dito nakapag flu vaccine na gamit ang medicare? Recently arrived lang din po sa Melbourne at nababalitaan kong uso ang flu ngayon sa Au.

barbedwire · July 2019

Meron po ba dito na magBM/nagBM na sa SA?

juliatheambitiousoul · July 2019

@tofurad You have to change it first in your BDO account settings in online banking before calling them to quote the reference number. Before you can change it via phone but when I tried calling to change it because I was locked out due to the OTP generator not working for me, they said they can't do it maybe because of the frauds that are happening. But I am not sure if pwede na direct thru calling them since the 'challenge question' is already deactivated so you can't access your account and do the above.

@fioning1120 For kids you have to go sa GP (free) while for adults, pwede sa Chemist warehouse or priceline, you can book a schedule online. Some do walk-ins. Check their website.

Sa mga may BPI account, pwede po bang magtransfer direct ng funds from personal account to Australian Bank (e.g. NAB)? Tulad dito sa SG (e.g. posb/dbs oversea remit).

fioning1120 · July 2019

Ok @juliatheambitiousoul Thank you!

Maraming salamat @kaye28 @zach@052019 !
Nauna nako dito ng isang buwan before at binalkan ko family ko,nagjob hunt muna.

TFN:
My experience nung nagschedule ako sa AU post, hinanapan ako ng additional ID aside from passport. Knowing na bagong dating lang sabi ko wala pa ko medicare na available (since yun ang isa sa valid ID #2), binigyan ko ng letter from bank since me option na pwede yun at basta me letter head, address,etc. Di daw pwede. Kaya up to now wala pa ko TFN. Ttry ko bukas sa ibang AU post branch using passport only.

Medicare:
Nagregister ako second week ng May, sabi ng nagassist sakin naghhang daw yung system kaya iregister nlng daw nya ko at wait sa card in 3-4 weeks. Walang dumating na card. Since paalis na din ako dko na fnollowup since magrregister uli ako pagdating ng anak at wife ko.
Ngregister kami yesterday with my family, wala binigay na number. Tawag na lang daw kami sa hotline ng medicare. Sure naman daw mabbigay ang number.

So far, parang nappansin ko mejo tamad sila magassist, at worst nalimutan pa iregister (medicare), di naman general pero so far mejo sablay mga nppuntahan ko.

Yung sa TFN, pwede sya online lang.. after 5 days, pinadala na sya sa mail.. try mo

Yes, we had our flu vaccine for the entire family using our medicare.

iam_rc · July 2019

Para san ba talaga ung CFO? Is it really required? Depende ba sa type of visa un? Kasi never ako hinanapan nung first entry ko, pati mga sumunod ko entries.

I did inquire sa CFO if required ako, they said yes, but i never attended one of their seminars.
