I agree. tsaka mahirap mag "manage bookings" kapag sky scanner. mas madali mag add-on ng baggage allowance kapag direct ka bumili sa airline. mas madali din mag reschedule or refund ng flight just in case magkaroon ng flight cancellations (ex. bad weather).

Sa big move po or entry? Galing kami SG, wlaa naman hinanap.
Sa mga mag Inital entry pa lng, kung wala kyo kakilala sa AU or address na pwde isend ang atm, pwde pa din mag open ng bank account pero walang atm muna, bale activated lang ang account kung san pwde kyo magtransfer ng any amount habang nasa home country kayo. Para ma try nyo
Magtransfer dun sa account paunti
Unti..
Pag BM na, or for good na, punta ka lang sa branch then bibigyan ka na ng atm. NAB na bank account tong sinasabi ko, diko
Alam sa iba.
Need nila is passport, visa grant letter at boarding pass..

@lecia if nab migrant account sinasabi mo you can open from outside Au, iaactivate mo lng sa BM mo na, kasi hhingan ka ng au address na. need passport, boarding pass at visa grant letter. Iaactivate din nila on the spot ang atm (eftpos), then me followup letter na bbgyan ka ng visa card (atm). then you can dispose the eftpos card if you want

Oo nag open po ako ng NAB para lang makapagtransfer ng account from SG- Au.. may option naman na wag ka padeliver ng atm card kasi pauwi na kami end of this week. Mag request na lang sa big move na. Very smooth naman lahat. Kakatuwa wla ba talaga opening na amount required?

Wala pa po akong nakitang case na hinanapan ng vaccination docs upon arrival. Advice din sa kin ng agent ko no need. May 2-3 clients din sila na pumunta recently from PH wala namang hiningi. Though gusto ko lang din malaman yung experience ng iba.

After EOI na po. For visa lodging na. Samin hindi naman na nag IELTS si partner ko kumuha lang kami ng cert sa school niya nung college.
Basta maganda ipasa niyo na lahat ng docs na feeling niyo relevant, mahirap kasi yung ma CO contact ka pa dahil may hinahanap na doc mas lalo tatagal yung grant niyo. In our case 3 CO contact umabot ng 10 months from lodging to grant.
Good luck sa lahat ng mag BM! ang bilis ng panahon naka 1yr na pala kami dito. hahaha
