Hi everyone. Would like to ask on the following:
*Sa mga andyan na sa AU.
how much usually is the average cost of a second/third hand cars, especially in Victoria?
and where to find car deals na legit?
*Sa pag big move nyo, if PR visa, did you just present the following in the PH immig?
Passport
Visa/VEVO grant letter
Tickets
Travel tax exemption
*Travel Tax exemption- sa airport lang to makukuha right? same lane as the travel tax payment?
*additional big move concerns:
1) How much maximum pocket money is allowed? what site can we use as reference on the rules?
2) Pwd bang I will just open the international access of my bank ATM cards, then use AU ATMachines there? or bank transfer from PH bank to AU bank account once I will open an AU bank account? forex loss nga lang for sure
3) Do we still need to register with the CFO and have a seminar?
Thanks in advance

No limit naman AFAIK. Basta pag more than AUD 10K value (in total ha, no matter what currency it is), you have to declare it. Wala naman silang gagawin sa pera mo; you just have to declare. If you bring more than AUD 10K and you don't declare, there's a risk that they'll seize your money or ma-penalize ka. The purpose of declaration is to assure customs officers that you're not involved with money laundering. Have a look at the link below, apparently you now have to fill up an online form if you're bringing more than AUD 10K into the country:
https://austrac.gov.au/individuals/moving-money-across-international-borders
Yes, you can use your PH cards in Australia. Just advise your card-issuing bank that you will be traveling overseas (para hindi nila i-block yung card mo when you withdraw funds overseas). Just check what the rate/cost of withdrawing from overseas ATMs though. Usually your card will be charged by the local ATM to use their machine, but I don't know if your PH bank will also charge you another fee for actually using your card overseas. Personally though, I've only done that once with my PH credit card and it was for an emergency. I don't remember how much the fee was, but nowadays I'd rather pay with local debit card para less worry on bank/ATM fees. Opening an AU bank account is relatively easy and they'll issue you your debit card within a few days.
If you will transfer funds from PH bank to AU bank, don't forget to ask your PH bank what information they need to be able to transfer to an Australian bank account (i.e. SWIFT/BIC codes), and if you have to enroll it in your online/mobile banking. Medyo iba kasi ang banking details nila in Australia (6-digit BSB and 6-digit account number), so just check with your PH bank. Once you've opened up a bank account in Australia, ask your bank for their SWIFT/BIC code (or you can check them through your AU bank's app).
Another option would be to convert your PHP cash to USD, tapos ipapalit mo nalang to AUD pagdating mo? But of course, check the rates kung mas beneficial ang PHP>USD>AUD rates, or PHP>AUD.

Well macocompare nating ang recent iphone 14 prices sa philippines vs australia. Kung icocompare mo na same model, kung kinonvert mo ang peso selling rate na aud, lumalabas na cheaper ngayon sa aud ang mga gadgets ngayon. Malaki ang effect ng equivalent selling rate ng usdollar na 59 pesos na.
Abangan nalang sa Black Friday Sale and Cyber Monday Sale hehe

If you really want to bring them, maybe package them properly (bubble wrap or styro then put in a box). But make sure you buy/bring adapters kasi Type I ang plug nila dito, whereas Type A ang sa pinas.
Is it a new PC? baka mas less hassle pa to sell that and buy a new one in Australia, and then buy during boxing day, black friday, or cyber monday.

Only bring enough for 3 months for OTC meds as paracetamol, antihistamine, etc. meron naman dito (i.e. Priceline, Chemist Warehouse).
If may prescription ka for maintenance meds, bring your Rx when you bring your meds with you. When you get onshore, maybe consult a GP/physician about your condition so they can verify your condition and prescribe your meds (I don't think local pharmacies/chemists recognize Rx from overseas).

James 1:5-6
(New International Version)
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

Hi po. Tanong po. Pag visa 491 po ba, with medicare na po? Include na po ba dependents?
At with regards sa educ dun ng mga bata, treated as international student pa din po ba ang tuition while holding visa 491?
Maraming salamat po sa makakasagot. 😊
