PAL just cancelled today our flight to Melbourne on July 14. The earliest flight for booking now is for August 1. For info.

Commercial flight ba ito or repat flight thanks for info. Any update po ?

Hi @nhodzkie Commercial flight. Too early for us yung repat, besides Melbourne talaga destination namin.

Masyado na late for us ang August kase on trimester na wife by then. So far, monitor na lang kami for opening of SG for transit to AU. Yung HK option naman, >8 hours transit time ng Cathay Pacific so breach sa transit requirements nila. Awaiting response of Cathay Pacific to my query.

Bro, if I'm not mistaken, nag update na si HK ngayon lang ng transit requirement nila from 8 hours to 24 hours.

If that's the case, pwedeng Cathay. You can check kung parehas tayo ng understanding.

Yes, that is correct, @doobeedoodoo

I replied to your PM few moments ago.

Good luck to us. Keep safe!

Hi Guys! I hope you guys are okay! especially sa na naka BM na dyan recently.
I wanted to know about your cargo shipment experience.
I'm about to send our boxes from Dubai to Sydney but I'm confused if I need a broker or not.
some suggested a broker and some just said to add my relative as the consignee and she can easily collect the boxes.

also, could someone tell me the process of collecting the cargo boxes?
appreciate your response! God bless!

Hello, guys! Hubby and I were supposed to relocate (TSS Visa 482) na last April pa but then the pandemic happened kaya na-stuck here sa Pinas. Looking forward to the opening of Australia's borders. Stay safe, everyone!

Hello guys, sa mga nagBM dian, aside from NAB, ano b magandang Bank? kasi ung NAB na inopen ntin hindi pala sya pede gamitin ONLINE, sobrang hassle nya. like pag order sa woolworths or even sa app store, hindi pede.

pwede mo lng sya gamitin sa withdrawals, transfers and payments sa resto, bars and groceries.

badblockz · June 2020

usually NAB will send you po a Visa card you can use for online transactions. Yung 1st card na binigay nila talaga more like eftpos only.

von1xx · June 2020

@johnnydapper pwede ka po magrequest ng visa debit card sa NAB para magamit sa online purchases.

johnnydapper · June 2020

how to request po? need to visit personally or email lang? thank you @badblockz and @von1xx

Magandang araw po! Pwede po mag tanong, sa mga big movers po this 2020 na affected dahil sa Covid pandemic. Dapat po ay July 4 ang flight namin (Qantas) pero cancelled na po. Then rebook namin by Oct2020. Pero just today, cancel ulit ng Qantas. First Entry date po namin ay Nov.12,2020. Hingi po sana kami advice:
1. Meron po ba dito nag pa extend ng first entry date nila bec flight restrictions due to Covid? If meron po, pano po ginawa nyo, call po ba Home Affairs or Email?
2. Nakuha po namin flight ay MNL-SYD, then SYD-MEL. Need po ba quarantine muna sa Sydney, bago tumuloy sa Melbourne? If yes, so mas ok po na ang book muna namin ay MNL-SYD

Maraming salamat po sa magbigay ng advice nila! 😊

Yes you can email home affairs to extend your entry date. Madami gumawa nyan. Search mo na lang pag pc gamit mo, naka mobile kasi ako. Pag nahanap ko din, send ko sayo..

Wag muna buy ng buy kasi di pa sure lalo pinas kyo galing, sayang ang pera. Antayin mo baka may repatriation flights ulit, hopefully maksabay kayo. Kami next month na BM, though di affected ang flighys from SG, di talaga pa ako nag book. Pag malapit na ang date, tsaka na, di na alam ang sitwasyon.

yanma13 · June 2020

@lecia salamat sa pag reply. Pa-send po ng link kung san po dapat mag email para humingi ng extension. Yung hubby ko po nasa SG pa. Uuwi muna sya pinas. Para sa pinas kami manggaling papunta oz.
Salamat po

johnnydapper · June 2020

suggestion ko lng na if makapunta kayo before July gawin nyo na kasi may news na ichacharge na ang hotel quarantine and foods sa lahat ng overseas arrivals starting July. or hold nyo muna if nagtitipid.

sa queensland magstart na sila.

Adults will be charged $2800 for the 14-day stay, which includes $910 for food. The cost comes down to $3710 for couples, and a family of four will be charged $4620.

Mackieboo · June 2020

Hello! Are there any requirements like travel pass and medical clearance needed before the departure flight? Will be coming from Metro Manila (QC) po.

My sis-in-law who joined the May 26 repat flight, wala hiningi travel pass and medical clearance. She travelled from Laguna. She's only on visitor visa with exemption. Dala niya basic essential documentation and letter from embassy for that repat flight.

nhodzkie · June 2020

Salamat po sa sasagot.
