    Hello po. Pag visa 482 po ba pwedeng di na bumalik sa pinas? Pwede po ba mag asikaso na lang ng papers sa embassy dito sa SG? Kakauwi lang kasi namin ng halos 3wks sa pinas tapos ngayon fast moving na yung application.

    Hi All, Tanong ko lang regarding NBI clearance, sa PH embassy in SG ba kayo kumuha or mas mabilis if uwi ng pinas at doon magprocess? sana may sasagot pls

    Para sakin, mas mabilis sa Pinas. Kuha ko lang after 15 mins, pag wala pong HIT yan ha... sa likod bahay lang kasi namin ang NBI sa amin... anung stage ka na ba sa application?

    waiting game pa po for invite.hehe... just preparing for the next step para ready na once makareceive ng ITA. DIY kasi ako and gusto ko lang i-confirm sa mga nagprocess na if tama ung na research ko na mas mabilis if sa pinas. Maraming salamat @lecia :)

    Ayyy wala ka pa pla ITA? Wag ka na muna medicals or NBI, sure ako ma expire lang yan.. check mo palagi ang trend, so ngyon ang na ggrant is July 2019 na, so mga 7 mos ang process, case to case basis din to.. tsaka ka na mag NBI after lodgement, yung iba months after lodgement para hindi sya ma expire. Estimate mo na lng din.. DIY din kami..

    Check mo ang CO contact na thread, hiningan sila ng new NBI at medicals kasi na expire na din.. So, much better pag meron na ITA para hindi sayang ang gastos.. All the best!! Keep on reading this forum!!

    Hi @lecia , hindi pa naman ako kukuha, nag reready lang ng guide for the next steps. Para pag meron nang ITA,mag leave agad-agad para sa NBI at medical. hehe... sa medical mo pala, I noticed sa SATA AMK ka, ok ba dun? how long did you wait for the results? kasi may naread ako dito na may mga issue ang iba sa Paragon.

    sa travel advisory pala, alam ko ung may travel history lang from mainland China.

    Punta kasi akong AU next month so niresearch ko din to.

    Kame po sa SATA AMK nagpa medical and ok naman experience namen

    @emzkie oo SATA amk ako kasi 5pm nageend work ko nun time na nagka ITA ako, since meron silang night clinic which is 6pm-9pm yan pinili ko kasi convenient sa sched namin ni hubby.

    The next day no action required na agad sa immi account ko.. so pag negative naman result mo, pinapasa na nila kagad result sa DHA.

    Thanks sa info about travel to AU.

    Hi. Maganda dito sa SG pag single at wala pang anak po na kagaya nyo. Maganda ang sahod at makakaipon ka talaga.

    Pag meron na pong mga anak, medyo pahirapan na maghanap ng school lalo pag primary levels na. Nagcclose ang slots ng schools for foreigners like us. Kagaya nun samin ang layo ng school ng isang bata sa bahay namin kasi si na sya natanggap sa unang school nya. Nakakaawa ng bagets sa stress. Opinion at experience ko lang, others may differ po.

    True, I think depende sa long term goal mo. Don't forget rin na SG parin ang best in terms of Swelduhan. napakabilis mag ipon kung savings ang paguusapan. napakaliit ng tax compared sa ibang bansa. dating Single Aussie boss ko galit na galit sa tax sa OZ, sabi nya, cya ang nag papa aral sa mga may anak sa OZ dahil sa tax na binabayaran nya. haha.

    i think, with good pay in SG kahit hndi pa PR or citizen, may sustain a good family life in sg.. ang tanong lang is until when..

    Haha actually sa "laidback" din isa sa mga factor kaya ako na-eenganyo. Ok dito sa sg pero medyo heavy din yung work culture, galing din kasi kami sa malaysia medyo mas magaan din dun.

    @genedac yes malaki. kaya you have to plan it properly. for us, willing kame i-sacrifice ang comfortzone from sweldo, bahay, investments, kahit nasa local school ang anak (hindi sila pr kame lang ni misis.) tumatanda na rin kasi. at need rin to secure ang retirement.

    thank you for saying this. akala ko lower income talaga compared here sa SG. hehe
    pero from what my friends in Sydney told me, kahit na higher cost of living daw, enough naman daw yung pay to cover. BTW, i listen to your podcast! learned about the white card thing through that. very helpful as we are already planning our BM.

    Same situation samen. Sa tagal na namin dito na PR, dami na rin nagtatanung bakit daw di pa kami mag apply ng Singaporean citizenship. May friends pa kami na nag explain na may loophole ang batas naten sa pinas na even though ma lose naten Filipino citizenship, madali lang naten mababalik since natural born Filipino tayo.

    Pero iba kasi talaga dating ng environment ng Australia eh. Kita and ramdam namin nung nag tour kami. Lakas maka engganyo kaya hopefully matupad mga plans namin mag move out from here. Don't get us wrong, maayos ang SG...secure, mabilis internet, high-tech, masarap and mura food, etc. but like others, hate din namin work culture and environment dito...bottomline is, overworked tayo dito :)

    @mandark_d_gray kame naman nag apply ma rin ng citizenship para sana sa kids pero reject pa rin. Indirectly sinasabi na we don't need you.

    @Admin, pwede malaman kung kelan kayo nag apply? So far mga kakilala and friends namin aside sa mga pinoys, successful ang citizenship nila. Kaya pag naguusap usap about primary school ng mga kids, wala sila problem.

    Hi All
    Pareho kami ng husband ko na nagwowork dito sa SG as analyst programmer and wala pang kids, ask ko lang, what made you decide na ipursue etong AU? :)
    Sa ngayon nagsstart pa lang kami mag gather ng requirements pero sa totoo lang medyo basa parin ako ng basa ng articles na "SG vs AU" haha

    Hi. Maganda dito sa SG pag single at wala pang anak po na kagaya nyo. Maganda ang sahod at makakaipon ka talaga.

    Pag meron na pong mga anak, medyo pahirapan na maghanap ng school lalo pag primary levels na. Nagcclose ang slots ng schools for foreigners like us. Kagaya nun samin ang layo ng school ng isang bata sa bahay namin kasi si na sya natanggap sa unang school nya. Nakakaawa ng bagets sa stress. Opinion at experience ko lang, others may differ po.

    Thanks @lecia
    Yun nga din ang naiisip ko, paano pag nagbabies na kami. Ang ganda ganda dito talaga sa SG and safe kaso andami ko kakilala na 10yrs na hindi parin PR. Siguro yun talaga malaking factor :)

    Opo like us 10 years na singapore hindi pa na PR, walang stability and mas laidback sa australia and madaming mapapasyalan and napaka ganda ng nature

    Haha actually sa "laidback" din isa sa mga factor kaya ako na-eenganyo. Ok dito sa sg pero medyo heavy din yung work culture, galing din kasi kami sa malaysia medyo mas magaan din dun.

    talking about laidback at in terms of MC or sick leave, dito they wont ask too much if you really feel sick and and not fit for work.

    isa yan sa ang ganda.

    True, I think depende sa long term goal mo. Don't forget rin na SG parin ang best in terms of Swelduhan. napakabilis mag ipon kung savings ang paguusapan. napakaliit ng tax compared sa ibang bansa. dating Single Aussie boss ko galit na galit sa tax sa OZ, sabi nya, cya ang nag papa aral sa mga may anak sa OZ dahil sa tax na binabayaran nya. haha.

    Yun nga din mga nababasa ko anlaki daw ng tax sa OZ? Nacocompensate ba ng benefits like healthcare?

    yes malaki around 30%.
    inisip ko na lang na, wala naman ako binayaran when my wife gave birth at sa lahat ng check ups ng mag ina ko..

    pero malaki din nmn ang sahod compared sa sg, well in my case.

    but you will have free healthcare sa halos lahat ng services, you may get financial assistance after requirements met, free school for kids, better customer service, possible better work family life balance, nature trips/road trip etc

    (given PR kana at least)

    saw your timeline... minsan talaga mapo-postpone mo ang plan dahil sa mga dadating na circumstances. muntik na din kami ndi tumuloy dito dahil sa promotion pero my wife made a good call. it's not easy but it's been a good 4 years so far. ;)
    Goodluck sa application mo at sana magtuloy-tuloy na!
