Hello, anyone here tried skyscanner to book flights from ph to au? Appreciate if you can share your experiences 😊. How did you add baggage allowance from skycanner? It only includes 25kg. I would need to add 20kg more. Salamat!

tipid tips para sa mga magbi-big move. May 2 major suparmarket chains dito sa Oz, Coles and Woolworths

Every week may 1/2 (half price) specials. Wednesday ang 1st day ng sale. Nagiiba ang range of products every week. Malaking tipid din Yun lalo na pag may specials na meat!

Lagi kayo tumingin sa catalogue nila. All the best sa BM!!!

Aldi mura din. hehe

Pero beware dyan sa half price kasi minsan kala mo nakakatipid ka pero dahil half price nga eh pati kahit mga hindi mo kelangan eh nabibili mo.

Yung tipong kape lang ang bibilhin mo kasi half price pero pag uwi mo may dala na si misis na shampoo, lotion, at kung ano ano. Mas napapagastos ka kasi mura. haha

use skyscanner to search flight options lang, yung tipong nag hahanap ka ng mura or ng direct flight, but make the booking directly pa din sa airline mas mura pa din don.

Yes, otherwise you may be billed the second installment payment amounting to around AUD 4K pag hindi makapag-provide ng at least functional english. Pag di makakuha ng CEMI, English test with functional scores is needed.

Hello question po regarding Medicare Enrollment Form (MS004), did you include your spouse as Additional Person to be Enrolled in Part B? Or did you submit separate forms (separate enrollment)?

@kathness10 said:
Kapag po ba mag dadala ng pera to au, kasama din po ba sa bibilangin yung laman ng dala mong debit card for example? Aside from the aud cash na dala mo?

Nope. Just the cash... and you must declare if carrying an equivalent of AUD 10,000 or more, counting and converting other currencies.

Only if it's carried. right?
otherwise, If I transfer my money only from Dubai and Philippines to an Australian Bank, do you still need to declare it?

Just the cash carried on hand. Sa bank hindi na kasi nasa AU na yun.. Baka pwde ka magtransfer from Dubai bank to Au bank. Like samin, Sg to Au bank online transfer lang. Walang charge yun.. Ask mo local bank nyo jan batch!

Advise sakin nung nag assist sakin nung nag apply ako ng medicare, ako palang mag isa nun and wala pa family ko dito na hintayin ko na daw partner and daughter ko para isang application. I suggest you do the same na isang application kayo ng family.

auyeah · February 2020

Thank you po @Ozlaz and @Noodles12 sige we’ll use one form for the Medicare enrollment.

Hello mommy!! We’re keeping OCBC and DBS bank account. Meron akong certain amount na iiwan para sa investment namin na good for 5 years pa. Then may darating na lump sum amount for bonuses end of contract, yan yung pang remit ko via bank transfer to Pinas remittance..

No fee from SG-Au bank account, meron ka na na open anoh? Try mo lipat ng maliita na amount, you can’t withdraw yet, pag nasa Au pwde na..

No ITA, visa or big move yet but curious lang po since SG-based din po kami...may tax implications ba sa AU pag nag funds transfer ka to your AU bank account?

True!!! Naku kelangan po talaga! Sobrang laking tipid lalo na mga PR dito sa SG na nagbenta ng mga bahay nila, malaking halaga ang matipid sa free bank transaction. Pambaon at panggastos na din yun. Only in the Philippines po.

It’s like a local bank to bank transfer. Wala naman tax something. Since PR naman tayo, and pag andun na, dun na mag tax declaration. Kaya meron TFN na inapply pagdating doon or initial entry.Personal bank account naman po yan.

Thanks po sa reply..upon research din po, walang tax sa AU upon transferring your money to AU bank account. But, it will be taxed on the interest earned once nasa AU account mo na.

Salamat po ulit.
