@bbtot how long did you stay in airbnb? If its few weeks i guess it dont matter, just provide them proof of your permanent accom. They can check your arrival date anyway.

Hello sir @fgs. We are just preparing to move and planning to get Airbnb for the first week, and probably get a room after. Will the email/airbnb reservation suffice? Or do we need a physical address under our name?
Our entry is in Sydney so we need to provide proof of entry to the far south coast region. Thankyou!

@bbtot That woudnt matter..you can apply 887 right after the two years even if you stayed few weeks in a non regional area upon entry. You dont have to provide proof of where you stayed/lived kung few weeks or days lang man. You are even allowed to go home sa Ph in that 2 years( wag lang excessive) at pwede ka pa din apply right after 2 years

Oh ok. So if I understood correctly, ang ipporvide lng na proof of residence aside from utility bills, is from our perm residence? Ok lang kahit wala na yung sa initial accom. Thanks so much, sir @fgs!

Hi po. Mag aapply na kami this week for 887. We arrived in Sydney muna for a month nagstay dun ng September. Tapos November 2 po nag Adelaide na kami. Sa Tenancy forms nakalagay dun Nov 3 commencement date. So pwede na ba kami maglodge ng Nov 3 kasi Nov 2 naman arrival namin dito Adelaide? Or better be safe, mga november 9 na para madami days na palugit? Super nakakapraning pala talaga kasi mag apply na naman.
May mga docs na kami prepared. Ask ko lang may mga need ba ipanotarised pa sa JP? Tapos may work ako ngayon pero casual lang. husband is the one applying for primary applicant pero during 489 sya ang dependent. Wag na ako magsubmit ng work documents ko like mga payslips noh? Kasi no need naman tska baka malito pa sila?
Also, immiaccount ko po ba pwede gamitin? May new application button kasi dun, pwede bang dun na lang gumawa or better kung si husband ang gawa ng immiaccount nya ? Sabi kasi ng iba it doesnt matter daw kung akin ang gamitin. Baka daw makatulong pa kasi andun lahat documents namin and 489 applications na naka visa finalised na. What are your thoughts on these po? Sorry dami tanong

sa mga taga galing ng sg po, ung nag stay pa sa singapore after approval, did you get new police clearance when submitted 887? Nag stay pa kasi ako sa singapore ng 1 year. hindi ko alam pano mag request ng letter to get police clearance, kasi strict doon dapat may letter from Immi before you can request police clearance.
