    I thought I am prepared for this, pero naooverwhelm pa ko sa mga kailangang gawin befor the big move. ๐Ÿ˜‚

    Please share any tips on the things you did in PH prior your big move
    Ang mga inaasikaso ko na ay:

    • Selling properties ( I just posted my condo for sale)
    • Filing resignation and turnover of job
    • Nagpaschedule na ng teeth cleaning and filling.
    • Nagpaschedule na ng annual physical exam while covered pa ng current employer.

    Advisable ba na sa Australia na mamili ng damit? How much ang recommended pocket money for a single person?

    Hi @mau_villa, exciting big move naaa!!! congrats!
    Ang biggest expense namin dito when we moved is for the appliances and furnitures. Hindi kasi furnished ang mga houses for rent. I think at least 5k for that then yung 1 mo advance for rental and 2 months bond ata yun.
    If you plan to have Lasik do it in the Philippines. Uber mahal dito nun, makakauwi pa ako for that. I think 7K aud.
    If you have properties or bank transactions you need to deal with later on you might want to prepare a power attorney so someone can sign it on your behalf. Hassle at magastos magpagawa ng power of attorney sa consulate then i-fedex mo pa to Ph.
    If you have kids, vaccines are free here so don't bother keeping it up todate before kayo umalis. :)

    Sa mga mag-BM or nakapag-BM na, anong magandang way para mamaximize ang value ng PHP to AUD para sa pocket money? Nag check kasi ako sa mga forex ng AU banks, ang laki ng charges nila kaya I'm thinking na bumili na ng AUD dito. BM na kami this January. Thanks!

    1. Open a BDO with a FOREX Branch, months before pagalis. (8 months) before para merong bank relationship.
      https://www.bdo.com.ph/sites/default/files/pdf/List of Authorized Branches.pdf

    2. Transfer all of your funds 4 months before.

    3. Exchange your money during mababa ang selling rate.
      https://www.bdo.com.ph/sites/default/files/forex/forex.htm
      As of 13/05/2022 1AUD = 36.49 pesos

    4. Exchange your peso to AUD

    5. Declare your money at the customs in Philippines and Australia https://www.austrac.gov.au/individuals/travelling-and-australia-money#:~:text=Travellers can carry an unlimited,Border Force or police officer.

    Very helpful! Thank you @tigerlance.

    Question

    • Can we put hard drives in the luggage? Just so I can lessen the weight of my backpack.

    Hindi ka ba navaccine ng polio? Kung required sa pagpunta dito, di siya hinanap. Pero kasi pagdating mo dito, magbabago rin yung pananaw mo, since nakasulat siya sa visa grant, kailangan sundin. Baka kasi
    pagdating ng panahon hanapin sa iyo, nakastate naman sa visa grant. Yun llang naman #1 - #9 yun lang ang hinanap sa akin. Yung vaccination certificate hindi na nga hinanap basta nasend mo sa DPD. Pero mas okay rin na dala mo just in case may connecting flight ka other than AU.

    Kung meron ka vaccination book dati, halos lahat naman navaccine

    Hi po! Do we need polio vaccine to be able to to fly to Australia? Planning my BM some this June or early July. Thank you!

    Better add jackets with hood kasi malamig pagdating mo dito. Merong winter snap. You need warmer sa upper part, leggings, ear muffs, mittens, double or triple jacket.beanie, balaclava. Mahirap maghanap sa atin kasi tropical country, you can try 2nd hand shops, labhan mo nalang mabuti hehe. Unless sa may bandang Darwin ka pupunta.

    Very helpful! Thank you @tigerlance.

    Question

    • Can we put hard drives in the luggage? Just so I can lessen the weight of my backpack.

    Interesting question. Pag Qantas ka,
    Free ang luggage bag. Kung ano ilagay mo dun, free yun kasama ang accessories. Walang weight requirement, Nandun siya sa qantas website.
    Yung Carry On - Hindi siya winiweigh. Dumaan lang sa weighing machine ang Check in Luggage.

    *Kung alam ko lang ito, minasimise ko ang carry-on ko hehe. Some airlines strict sila sa carry-on. Alam
    ko, yung Air Asia.

    Trolley - Carry-On
    Laptop Bag - Shoulder.

    Diskartehan mo nalang kung ano mas okay sa iyo na laptop bag.

    Hi po! Do we need polio vaccine to be able to to fly to Australia? Planning my BM some this June or early July. Thank you!

    Hindi ka ba navaccine ng polio? Kung required sa pagpunta dito, di siya hinanap. Pero kasi pagdating mo dito, magbabago rin yung pananaw mo, since nakasulat siya sa visa grant, kailangan sundin. Baka kasi
    pagdating ng panahon hanapin sa iyo, nakastate naman sa visa grant. Yun llang naman #1 - #9 yun lang ang hinanap sa akin. Yung vaccination certificate hindi na nga hinanap basta nasend mo sa DPD. Pero mas okay rin na dala mo just in case may connecting flight ka other than AU.

    Kung meron ka vaccination book dati, halos lahat naman navaccine

    That's my problem, we moved a lot when I was younger, so wala na akong record kung ano mang vaccine ang meron ako. Pero to be sure, magpavaccine na lang din ako.

    Thank you ulit sa step by step reminders. I'll be moving sa Sydney, so kung may iba pang reminders, please let me know.

    May sample na madodownload na incoming passenger card sa AU, pwede mo na iprint and sagutan para kopyahin mo nalang pagkarating. Before you fill-out, you must review kung ano ang dadalhin mo. Baka last minute na padala hehe bago ka umalis might change your answers in the bag hehe. All the best.

    You can, but with HD having movable parts, I rarely put them in check-in luggages because they are fragile. I would rather put up with heavier handcarry than have broken hard drives in the luggage. It's the same concept as putting a camera or laptop in check-in luggage. I always put a "Fragile" tag on my check-in bags so they are more likely to be handled with care, but there's still no telling on how they are handled by airport crew once they're out of sight.

    Hello po,

    Baka magmove na kami ni wife next month.

    TSS 482 lang hawak naming Visa and may condition na dapat meron kaming adequate health insurance.
    Question ko po, kailan dapat bumili, while offshore po ba or pagkadating na duon? Or pwede na bang bumili while offshore tapos effectivity nya pagka lapag sa AU?

    Tsaka, ano po ung health insurance nyo, may mga nababasa ako about BUPA... and ano kaya dapat ang kunin, top tlaga or ung maging sapat lang sa visa type namin... Dalawa pa lang naman kami sa ngayon....

    Anghirap naman, hahaha.... nalilito ako dami kailangan isipin...

    Question

    • Can we put hard drives in the luggage? Just so I can lessen the weight of my backpack.

    You can, but with HD having movable parts, I rarely put them in check-in luggages because they are fragile. I would rather put up with heavier handcarry than have broken hard drives in the luggage. It's the same concept as putting a camera or laptop in check-in luggage. I always put a "Fragile" tag on my check-in bags so they are more likely to be handled with care, but there's still no telling on how they are handled by airport crew once they're out of sight.

    Makes sense. Thank you!

    Effective yung fragile tape. Maayos yung pagkakahandle sa pinas. Yung sa AU naman okay naman yung pagkakahandle ng mga bags pagnakita mo sila, hindi tinatapon. Ang tatangkad kasi yung mga nagbubuhat. Lagyan mo nalang ng bubble wrap. Extra note, wag niyo iplastic ang luggage. May scam sa airport. Kasi, iswab yung mga gamit sa loob ng qantas. I don't know sa iba, kaya bubuksan niyo yun sa harap nila then iswab nila gamit mo.

    Hello po,

    Baka magmove na kami ni wife next month.

    TSS 482 lang hawak naming Visa and may condition na dapat meron kaming adequate health insurance.
    Question ko po, kailan dapat bumili, while offshore po ba or pagkadating na duon? Or pwede na bang bumili while offshore tapos effectivity nya pagka lapag sa AU?

    Tsaka, ano po ung health insurance nyo, may mga nababasa ako about BUPA... and ano kaya dapat ang kunin, top tlaga or ung maging sapat lang sa visa type namin... Dalawa pa lang naman kami sa ngayon....

    Anghirap naman, hahaha.... nalilito ako dami kailangan isipin...

    i also have the same question. baka hanapin ito sa Au immi upon landing?

    Hello, sana po may maka pansin and makapag reply po sakin...
    Since na-grant na ung Visa, nag resign na ko sa company ko dito sa Pinas.
    Pero nagbabasa basa ako, may Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC) yata na need pag exit ng Pinas.
    Omg, binook na rin kami ng flight ng employer though mga last week pa ng July ung flight date kasi I have to observe pa the 30-day notice period ng resignation ko plus inallow ako ng additional days to make asikaso... pero nappraning ako sa OEC, apparently, andami dami din niyang steps. Can someone please enlighten me po... may nakakauha na po ba rito ng OEC, and gano katagal sya ma-grant. My goodness, para rin pala syang Visa eh...

    as far as I know, OEC is applicable lang po kapag returning OFW sa place of employment. nung nagbakasyon kami dito sa pinas from Qatar (5 years ago), mabilis lang naman makakuha ng OEC oras lang naman makakuha depende sa haba ng pila.
