Oks lang yan batch! Ang mean nila ng soil, its more on sports equipments like golf sets kasi baka meron soil na mag carry ng kung anu anu. Basta anything na hindi ka sure tick sa declaration. Not really that strict naman, super bilis lang ang arrival! Smooth flow kumbaga!!!
May date ka na ng departure?

posted this sa isang topic, but maybe meron din nakaexperience dito.
Magandang tanghali!
I am asking for a friend.
They're planning to do their BM separately. Mauuna po yun misis at anak nila kasi may contract pa si mister sa SG. Thou alam ko possible un tanung ko, mas OK ma-confrim sa mga nakaexperience 1st hand.
Question:
1.) Makakapag sign up ba sa centrelink si wife + kids kahit ndi kasama si mister?
2.) Same question with medicare?
3.) Kapag nagBM si mister, ilink na lang niya yun centrelink nya sa family nya, right?
4.) Pag nagregister si mister sa medicare, is it possible to insert his name on the same medicare number or separate number na sya?
Salamat sa mga sasagot!

Nagawa namin yan last year, nauna ako, nag apply ako ng medicare. Tapos pagdating ng mag ama ko, nag apply sila ng medicare. Yun card namin 2. Isa sa akin, isa sa kanila(mag ama ko) kasi mahaba name ko, so nakahiwalay nalang sila, kasi hindi kasya.
Sa centerlink, separate ang crn ng husband at ng wife. Nag apply kami ng asawa ko separately. Nun nag claim, sa akin lang ang ginamit namin na crn.

Question po sa mga nag BM recently na PR status - aside sa JobSeeker program, ano ba po kaya ang Centrelink benefits na waived ang waiting period? Salamat. Grabe ang job uncertainty ngayon sa Melbourne at Sydney lalo Helping a friend na recently nag BM.
