Yung invoice sesend nila sayo anytime pag alis mo na ng hotel. Usually mareceive mo yun after 2 months. pwedeng mas matagal pa. Pag sinend nila invoice, pwede mag payment plan. Pwede rin magrequest i-waive or kahit babaan ang amount. Subject for approval.
Share ko lang na until now wala pa yung invoice ko ๐ almost 6 months na haha.

Question sa mga nag BM ngayong pandemic. May nakasubok na ba sa inyo magdala ng sports equipment? Gusto ko kasi sana dalhin yung bike ko kaso mukhang mas mapapamahal pa ako sa transportation cost baka mas practical kung ibenta ko na lang dito tapos bili na lang ulit dun.

Kinonsider po namin yan. From SG to AU kami noon mga $800/bike tapos sangkatutak na declaration. Hindi naman din ganun kamahal yung bikes namin kaya binenta na lang bago umalis. Marami naman po bikes dito at presyong pinas din tapos minsan naghahalf price pa hehehe good excuse na rin sa upgradititis! Pero up to you po. Baka may sentimental value, sayang naman ๐

Fitted kasi sa akin yung bike kaya tapos syempre may sentimental value na rin kasi yun pinanglalaro ko pero mawawala na kung ganyan kamahal yung madadagdag mukhang dun na nga ako papunta sa benta na lang. nagcheck ako ng prices, may mga magandang bikes na rin naman akong nakita na pasok sa budget, what more kung magdiscount pa sila. kahit di na i-declare kay misis. hahaha

Hi po, hoping someone could answer. Naglodge na kasi ng nomination ang employer ko for visa 494, noting na 7 hours a week I am required to work in a non-regional area. Upon further review sa visa condition 8579, hindi sya allowed. Can you please advise if okay lang to submit Notification of Incorrect Answers since hindi pa naman finalised ang nomination? Or would this be a ground for visa refusal?
Thanks in advance po! ๐

Unfortunately mahirap humanap ng murang flights sa panahon ngayon. A friend of mine was able to fly to perth recently, via Singapore Airlines. Pero sobrang mahal ng flight, around 120k pesos for 1 person. No choice kasi cathay and PAL cancelled many many times na.

Hello. Kamusta po. Ano po ba ang implication kung mag change of name?
Kase po sa mygov, ato, at centrelink ang naka register na name ko ay ung 1st name + surname.
Sa medicare e 1st name + 2nd name + middle initial + surname.
Ayaw ma link sa mygov ng medicare kase nga inconsistent ung name. Ang advise ng medicare pa change name daw ako to 1st name + surname. Sabi ko kung pwede sila na lang mag change since sa medicare lang naman iba ung record, hindi daw pwede. Ano po kaya magandang gawin? Pa change name na nga lang, tas update ung ibang record - mygov, ato, centrelink? Or may iba pa bang option?
