    Hi,

    Newly granted 190 VIC Visa this week lang po. Plan to do the BM this June2023.
    Ask ko lang po mga advice pagkadating po. Maglaland po muna kasi ako sa Sydney and stay since andun po kasi ung mga uncles ko bago po magpunta ng Melbourne. Pwede po ba dun sa Centrelink ng Sydney pumunta para makapag pa register ng mga Medicare and TFN? or Open ng bank accounts in Sydney?

    Thank you po sa sasagot :blush:

    Ang bank, Centerlink, Medicare, TFN - ay Australia wide yan. Pwede mo iupdate ang address mo kung palipatlipat ka.
    Hindi siya statewide example Driver's Licence, Photo ID.

    For those asking, ito mga pics hopefully to inspire at ma-renew ang faith, kung medyo nababagot na maghintay (like me). Ginawang blog eh noh! Pero may mga nakapagtanong kasi so share ko na lang here hehe:

    Sydney
    The Opera House at night—so beautiful!

    Bondi to Bronte coastal walk, went here solo and commuting was really straightforward. Just hop on a bus and sit for less than an hour, and boom, beach! Nakakapanibago ang "coastal walk" as a concept but man, what an experience! Parang nadagdagan yung buhay ko ng 100 years, hahaha.

    Yung Opera grounds, sobrang nakakatameme sa lawak at pagka-open. I went here every day to watch the sunset and mag-chill lang sa grounds, nakaupo kung saan-saan.

    The whole Circular Quay to Milsons Point harbour edge was just beautiful. Mapa-araw o gabi, ang ganda talaga.

    Melbourne
    Napaka-walkable, nakakaloka! Kahit na up/downhill, keri pa rin. Ang dali rin ng buhay tram! My commutes never took more than an hour, ever, kahit nung mga moments na nawala ako dahil maling train nasakyan. Ang daling bumalik.

    Melbourne's greenery and parks were my favourite. Mas chill kaysa dun sa Sydney, siguro kasi mas onti tao? Pero may pagka-probinsya feel si Melbourne for me kahit major city siya.

    Feel na feel ang autumn sa Melb! Yung weather and vibe. Sa Sydney, parang summer pa rin eh hahaha.

    Medyo underwhelming sa akin yung tourist spots ni Melbourne, pero I get the appeal of the city talaga as a place to live in. You come to appreciate each spot sa ambience. Where Sydney feels like The Big City, Melbourne feels like your own little city.

    Keep the faith lang, these two cities will be our home soon! 🫶🏼

    In super excited sis..❤️❤️❤️

    Hello po.
    Mag ask lang po if need ko ideclare and gold jewelries, unused shoes and bags and perfumes sa Australia?

    If unsure, declare. But I was wearing gold jewelry and brought unused clothing flying into Australia and no problem naman. These are for personal use so should not be a problem. You'll see everything you need to declare sa arrival card. Kapag di ka sure, declare mo na lang. Wag matakot, kasi iinspect lang naman nila yan. Fines apply only if you don't declare.

    Also if may dala kayong medicines or wooden items (I did) you might be asked to stand in line at aamuyin kayo ng sniffer dog. Medyo nakakakaba lang pero basta if di kayo sure, declare. Ang dala ko nun na need ng inspection ay personal medication at isang wooden comb. Hahaha.

    Based sa kakilala ko na nakaexperience nito, di ba ang pamaypay sa Pilipinas may wooden frame. You must declare this. Itataktak nila yung pamaypay sa border control, and napansin nila may nakatagong insects doon. So wag na kayo magdala ng ganito.

    Even you purchase your hat na may made of plant material, still you need to declare it upon re-entry to Australia.

    Totoo to. Yong video nga ng isang Migration lawyer sa Australia na she purchased her hat sa Australia. She went overseas for a vacation. Di niya na declare pagbalik kase she purchased it sa Australia. Na call out siya ng border officer. Much better na declare nalang.

    I’m not sure lang, 3 years ago sa Sydney, I brought canned goods, pwedi pa magdala canned goods pero dineclare ko. Advised ng friend ko kakauwi lang galing Pinas na wag na magdala kase kasabayan niya naipit sa border force. I’m not sure tho if na declare or whatnot.

    Pati yong sapatos na may soil deniclare ko din to make sure lang to avoid fines. Up to them naman if they will allow it or not.

    Check niyo na lang yung Border Force list ng pwede or di pwede: https://www.abf.gov.au/entering-and-leaving-australia/can-you-bring-it-in. Nakalagay naman if need to declare or not. And note nyo mga bagay na dadalhin niyo, kung may wood ba or shell, mga ganun. And then declare it. Don't fear declaration, 'di kayo mapapagalitan. They're just doing it for biosecurity.

    I also met a Filipina who once brought in dried fish, daing. Dineclare nya to (indicated sa arrival form ang need to declare fish, meat, etc) and nagtaka mga officers daw. They know it as "smoked fish" sa Aus, pinapasok naman. Just declare.

    Nakita ko rin dun binubusisi talaga mga dalang shells. Wag na kayo magdala, ang hassle 😂

    Hello, meron po nag fly thru PAL from MNL-MEL? First time ko kasi mejo nalilito ako sa carry on baggage. Pwede po ba yung ganito:

    1 luggage with some clothes, bags, notebook, etc na hindi lalagpas sa 7kg
    PLUS
    1 backpack with laptop, ipad, chargers, tumbler, documents
    PLUS
    1 small sling bag with wallets, passport, pens

    Ako ganito.
    1 check-in luggage - clothes and documents (30 kgs)
    1 carry-on luggage- trolly rin para sa powerbank, electronics and spare clothes for a day, kung meron alcohol etc.
    1 laptop rectangular bag - dito ko nilagay yung dalawang laptop ko and accessories na kasama. ANd dun ko narin nilagay yung documents ko pangimmigration (nakafolder). Kasya yan sa ilalim ng seat.

    Di naman wineigh ang carry on and laptop bag is free kaya mamaximise mo na free. It works only sa COMMERCIAL Flights. Hindi siya pwede sa budget airlines.

    Hi po! yung check in po ni PAL is allowed po na 30kg per piece? Or need po ba sya hatiin pa na 23kg per piece? Nagsearch kasi po ako sa website nila may article na nakalagay 23kg/piece tapos meron din pdf file na ang nakalagay is 32kg/piece. Sorry po huhu! first time lang din kasi po namin po mag fly palabas ng pinas kaya nalilito din ako po 🥹💖

    1. Check muna ang dimensions ng luggage niyo, then sukatin niyo kung length, width, height kung pasok sa dimensions.
    2. Bili kayo yung may hook na weighing scale, mas accurate yun para sa akin, hindi yung body scale. Sinubukan ko yung dalawang body scale, Smart scale yung isa, yung isa ay regular, yung isa yung nakahook. Nung nagarrive ako sa airport yun ang pinaka close.

    3. 1 month before, dapat nakaimpake na kayo. Mahirap pag may nakalimutan kayo sa Pilipinas.

    4. Check niyo ang maximum luggage weight na binook niyo sa PAL. 30kg yan kung wala ka extra luggage na binook.
      Meron yan conditions. Kung allowed ka magdalawa ng dalawang luggages sa check-in na 30kg.
      If magdagdag ka ng at least 5kg, kailangan mo ng dalawang luggage kasi nga ang maximum ay 32 kg. Kasi may manual rin na magbubuhat and itransfer ng worker yan, ang maximum ay 32 kg per piece. Kawawa naman sila pag lumampas ng 32 kg sa paglipat ng luggage.

    5. Kung alam mo na ang total weight na bubuhatin ng luggage mo ng mas maaga and alam mo magexceed ka, purchase ka na agad ng extra weight online agad agad kasi habang papalapit ang flight mo, iba na ang presyo yan. And kung sa airport ka pa magadd ng weight, mas lalong mahal yan. Unless, magoff load ka ng gamit sa airport. Hassle na yan. Saka siyempre using a credit card, meron 1-2 days clearance pa yan sa airport, purchase early para iwas hassle.

    6. Magpadala ka rin ng extra gamit sa kamaganak mo, just in case gusto mo sulitin ang weight ng luggage mo na pagdating sa airport, ang lumabas ay 28 kg pero ang binayaran mo ay 30kg. Yung gamit na pwede mo ilet go, pwede mo rin dalhin sa AU.

    7. Carry-on bag, 7 kg yan if sa economy ka. Then pwede ka iallow ng laptop bag para sa laptop, accessories. Check mo rin yung dimensions, weight, and kung allowed ka pa ng personal bag for free na pwedeng ilagay sa baba ng upuan

    Thank you so much po!!! <3 Planning din sana po ako magdala ng religious items like isang maliit na St Jude etc pero di ko rin kasi sure po kung saan sila gawa (wood, fiberglass?) so hindi ko rin sure if allowed po so baka wag nalang ako magdala to be safe. Maraming salamat po <3

    If you have a valid tourist visa I think you can enter Australia and visit, but I don't think that really counts as BM as you're not yet entering the country to live here permanently. :D

    Hello, meron po nag fly thru PAL from MNL-MEL? First time ko kasi mejo nalilito ako sa carry on baggage. Pwede po ba yung ganito:

    1 luggage with some clothes, bags, notebook, etc na hindi lalagpas sa 7kg
    PLUS
    1 backpack with laptop, ipad, chargers, tumbler, documents
    PLUS
    1 small sling bag with wallets, passport, pens

    Ako ganito.
    1 check-in luggage - clothes and documents (30 kgs)
    1 carry-on luggage- trolly rin para sa powerbank, electronics and spare clothes for a day, kung meron alcohol etc.
    1 laptop rectangular bag - dito ko nilagay yung dalawang laptop ko and accessories na kasama. ANd dun ko narin nilagay yung documents ko pangimmigration (nakafolder). Kasya yan sa ilalim ng seat.

    Di naman wineigh ang carry on and laptop bag is free kaya mamaximise mo na free. It works only sa COMMERCIAL Flights. Hindi siya pwede sa budget airlines.

    Hi po! yung check in po ni PAL is allowed po na 30kg per piece? Or need po ba sya hatiin pa na 23kg per piece? Nagsearch kasi po ako sa website nila may article na nakalagay 23kg/piece tapos meron din pdf file na ang nakalagay is 32kg/piece. Sorry po huhu! first time lang din kasi po namin po mag fly palabas ng pinas kaya nalilito din ako po 🥹💖

    1. Check muna ang dimensions ng luggage niyo, then sukatin niyo kung length, width, height kung pasok sa dimensions.
    2. Bili kayo yung may hook na weighing scale, mas accurate yun para sa akin, hindi yung body scale. Sinubukan ko yung dalawang body scale, Smart scale yung isa, yung isa ay regular, yung isa yung nakahook. Nung nagarrive ako sa airport yun ang pinaka close.

    3. 1 month before, dapat nakaimpake na kayo. Mahirap pag may nakalimutan kayo sa Pilipinas.

    4. Check niyo ang maximum luggage weight na binook niyo sa PAL. 30kg yan kung wala ka extra luggage na binook.
      Meron yan conditions. Kung allowed ka magdalawa ng dalawang luggages sa check-in na 30kg.
      If magdagdag ka ng at least 5kg, kailangan mo ng dalawang luggage kasi nga ang maximum ay 32 kg. Kasi may manual rin na magbubuhat and itransfer ng worker yan, ang maximum ay 32 kg per piece. Kawawa naman sila pag lumampas ng 32 kg sa paglipat ng luggage.

    5. Kung alam mo na ang total weight na bubuhatin ng luggage mo ng mas maaga and alam mo magexceed ka, purchase ka na agad ng extra weight online agad agad kasi habang papalapit ang flight mo, iba na ang presyo yan. And kung sa airport ka pa magadd ng weight, mas lalong mahal yan. Unless, magoff load ka ng gamit sa airport. Hassle na yan. Saka siyempre using a credit card, meron 1-2 days clearance pa yan sa airport, purchase early para iwas hassle.

    6. Magpadala ka rin ng extra gamit sa kamaganak mo, just in case gusto mo sulitin ang weight ng luggage mo na pagdating sa airport, ang lumabas ay 28 kg pero ang binayaran mo ay 30kg. Yung gamit na pwede mo ilet go, pwede mo rin dalhin sa AU.

    7. Carry-on bag, 7 kg yan if sa economy ka. Then pwede ka iallow ng laptop bag para sa laptop, accessories. Check mo rin yung dimensions, weight, and kung allowed ka pa ng personal bag for free na pwedeng ilagay sa baba ng upuan

    Thank you so much po!!! <3 Planning din sana po ako magdala ng religious items like isang maliit na St Jude etc pero di ko rin kasi sure po kung saan sila gawa (wood, fiberglass?) so hindi ko rin sure if allowed po so baka wag nalang ako magdala to be safe. Maraming salamat po <3

    https://www.abf.gov.au/entering-and-leaving-australia/can-you-bring-it-in/list-of-items

    Nandito naman lahat and self explanatory. Ni-review ko muna ito bago ako naglagay sa luggage ko.

    Kung ano ang nasa in writing, sundin mo yung limit and with proper documentation like resibo, and nakalagay sa box with the ingredients.

    Hello po, Ask ko lang po if alam niyo po kung allowed po ang magdala ng maraming soap sa aus iyong good for ilang years po? Iyong soap po na gamit ko kasi dito lang ako hiyang and hindi po sya madaling mahanap sa ibang stores, and iyong bentahan paunti unti sa online shops kaya I bet na hindi rin po sya available if ever sa mga phil. store sa aus. May nasearch po ako hanggang 10kg / 10L allowed pero not sure if this is valid or if may nakatry na po since parang too much na po sa nakita ko din na allowed sa planes like hanggang 1L - 2L lang. Thank you po. https://www.abf.gov.au/entering-and-leaving-australia/can-you-bring-it-in/categories/goods-without-declaring#:~:text=Cosmetics (including%20soap%20and%20hair%20care%20products)&text=You%20may%20bring%20up%20to%2010%20kilograms%20or%2010%20litres,may%20require%20an%20import%20permit.

    Kung ano ang nasa in writing, sundin mo yung limit and with proper documentation like resibo, and nakalagay sa box with the ingredients. Procter and Gamble mapaTide, Safeguard, and kung ano ano pa products parang wala ako nakikita dito. Nagadjust rin ako. Colgate and Palmolive, meron dito pero sobrang limited.

    Baka maka-help din ito nang kaunti:

    Only realised/learned from that na baka nga walang counterparts sa AU ang ilang mga products.

    Hello! Sa mga nakakuha ng 189/190 visa while overseas and especially for the IT sector, nakatry po ba kayo na magapply virtually para before kayo dumating ng Australia meron na kayong work? Is that possible naman po ba?

    I don't want to fly out kasi without securing a job first since magisa lang ako dun.

    You can try this of course pero mas prefer ng employers na andito ka na. Sobrang bilis kasi ng hiring process dito. You can get interviewed today and start next week. Marami din kasi ang nag aapply sa IT jobs. Nung nag aapply ako sa seek before nakikita ko sa end ng listing 100+ daw ang applicants lol. Sa current job ko ngayon 300 nag apply sa position ko.
