@lecia Wow good to know nasa Au na kayo and everything went smoothly
Got an sms and email from CX that our Aug 28 flight is now rebooked to Aug 29. They are making adjustments na.
Sa mga nagtake ng CX, meron bang nagdala sa inyo ng carseat ng toddler? Free nga ba?
Joined: Jul 12, 2018
Wow. Good to know maaga sila nagsabi ng rebooked flight
Tanong ko na rin po sa mga nag-CX. Ang laptop ba isasama nila sa bilang ng hand-carry mo?

Esp sa mga nag BM sa queensland kasi may form ulit duon na Queensland declaration form. pero others na nagBM sa ibang state are welcome to answer din po 😊
Sana may makahelp po

uncertain times talaga no.. We initially planned our BM to Melbourne to be last July sana, but due to Covid we decided to push it back to January 2021. Pero, with the current situation, hindi pa din talaga sure if we’d be able to push this through.. Anyway, i posted a link below if you want to do some reading and siguro monitor din for updates. good luck to us
https://www.melbourneairport.com.au/Passengers/Passenger-information/COVID-19
International
A travel ban is in place preventing Australians to go overseas, administered by the Department of Home Affairs. You can’t leave Australia unless you seek an exemption from Home Affairs.
Anyone arriving back into Australia must undertake 14 days' quarantine at designated facilities in your port of arrival. This may include mandatory testing for COVID-19.
Currently, there is a diversion on all international arrivals into Melbourne Airport. Any international flights that were scheduled to land in Victoria will be diverted to other Australian cities. If you have a flight booked please contact your airline for more details.
Domestic
Victoria’s borders are open so you can leave and enter Victoria. However, some Australian states and territories have closed their borders or require visitors to quarantine on arrival or seek an entry permit. Before travelling to another state or territory you should check the rules that your destination has in place.
If you are feeling unwell please do not come to the airport and if you suspect you may have the novel coronavirus, please call the dedicated hotline on 1800 675 398.

Oo nga ang hirap talaga ng situation ngayon hanggang kelan pwede ang IED nyo? Samin feb 1, kaya gusto rin sana namin ipush this year yung move.
Pero may nabasa ako dito na sagot. Na oks lang daw lumagpas sa IED, basta wag lalagpas sa expiry ng mismong Visa.

Hello All,
Question po regarding sa mga kailangan mag-initial entry this year. Considering the current situation - COVID, very limited flights, required 2-week quarantine pagland sa Sydney + ikaw magshshoulder ng 3000 AUD for the hotel accommodation, naisip ko, parang hindi practical mag-initial entry. Meron po bang nagtry na magrequest ng extension for initial entry date? Pwede po ba ako makahingi ng sample letter? Nakita ko kasi itong site na to, pwede daw magrequest. https://www.am22tech.com/au/extend-pr-initial-entry-date/#4-coronavirus
Thanks in advance sa mag-answer!

Worth it pa rin naman mag Big move lalo na kung galing sya sa bansang mataas ang covid case. Wala masyadong case sa Sydney at mas maganda ang health care at welfare benefits sa Australia. Marami akong kilalang mga nag Big move na naka Jobseeker ngayon, malaki din ang bigayan mga 2k a month
Pero nasa sakanya p rin naman
