You mean na-hire ka ng employer sa Australia, ba? I think no need na ang POEA, kasi Permanent Resident visa ang gagamitin mo (not a working visa) and given na nun na as a PR may working rights ka sa Australia. Make sure to arrange for your CFO!

True, hot topic pa naman ngayon ang mga IOs na humihingi ng kahit anong document just to confuse you. To be super sure (ako lang 'to ), I'd try reaching calling/emailing POEA na rin, para in case hanapan nga may solid proof ka na not needed for your PR visa. Pero praning move ko lang yan Good luck!

Hi everyone! Sa may experience po sa with commute, Is it safe to commute po sa sydney ng gabi especially midnight?
Posts: 783Member
Joined: Mar 08, 2022
Hi! As a first-timer holidayer sa Sydney earlier this month, I can say I felt very safe even commuting at night, especially as a girl. Mas anxious pa ako sa schedule ng transport dahil lang baguhan dun and didn't want to get lost, or run out of options — for example, nag sudden shutdown yung Sydney trains on my first day. Tapos ferries minsan nagsh-short notice change rin ng schedule/info. Might need to check if may transport options available at midnight, alam ko bus na lang (not sure)?
Exercise caution pa rin, of course. It's generally safe, at least in my expi. Yung one scary incident ko lang yata sa pagko-commute is sa Melbourne. I was on the tram and may sumakay na Caucasian guy na nagsisisigaw — ako lang yata Asian that time sa tram na yun, so lowkey kinabahan ako nun In broad daylight yun at well-occupied naman yung tram so marami kami. I just did what the locals did, look away lang and ignore.
Have to admit though na I think, as a girl, parang default na to be on guard all the time lalo na kapag vacant ang place. Like when I went underground to ride the train one time, yung kasama ko lang sa platform ay a group of guys who were eyeing me. And when I would walk back to my hostel late at night (sa The Rocks) medyo poorly lit yung area and walang tao. Mga ganung instances. But other than that, felt very safe even when kakaunti lang ang nasa bus/ferry/tram/train — yung unfamiliarity lang talaga yung nakakadagdag sa feeling na baka di safe, I would say.
Also tried Uber one time during the day. Felt safe naman.

Been living in Sydney for 3 years, so far, safe naman po. Just be careful sa mga lasing especially Friday and Saturday nights Hahaha. Be mindful din sa train schedules but madami naman trips pag weekend unless trackwork. Late din ang last trips ng trains. 1st trip is at 4AM to 5AM mag resume. Pero may mga buses naman din.

Super thankful sa thread na to. Napaka informative for us na may 5 months pa til #bigmove. Ang dami pala din need asikasuhin like medical insurance, house hunting and job hunting not to mention yung actual na pag lilipat (we're moving from sg).
We're planning to rent airbnb muna for 2-4 weeks while maghanap ng job and house. Sasama din daw parents ko as tourists to help us settle in (sabay gala na daw) haha. But really, sabi nila at least daw makatulong sila to look after our son while busy kami ng husband ko naglilipat and all.
Curious lang po, anyone here na nag big move with a toddler? Baka naman may tips kayo mag momshies & papshies haha.

Hello po! Meron po ba ritong nag-BM na may kasamang relative/s on tourist visa during the flight? Couple with kids kasi kami and iniisip naming isama ang parents namin sa first entry flight. Kung PR kami, madali lang kaya silang mag-grant ng tourist visa?

@tigerlance Same pala kami ng concern ni @intdesigner_arki . For the bank certificate, should it be the parents' bank certs or our (sponsor's) bank cert? And if their purpose is to look after the kid for 3 months for example (usual stay for tourist visa), ano po ung pwedeng ilagay sa itinerary? Thank you.

Kung kayo magsponsor, I guess ipakita niyo yung sa inyo, annual average daily allowance. Dati kasi nagpakita ako ng passbook, yung laman ng account ng bank, parang naquestion pa, Mas okay yung annual average daily balance para di nila pagsuspetsahan na bigla lang nagkaroon ng pera.
Simple itinenary lang syempre kung tourista naman mas realistic naman ito ang schedule ng pagaalaga then sa weekend papasyal kayo sa ganito. Di naman para sa AU, para sa immigration rin sa Pilipinas na sobrang makatanong kung aalis ng bansa hehe
Kung meron naman pera ang parents, na ipapakita rin yung bank certificate eh di maganda, the more evidences you have, maganda. Malay mo, bigyan kayo ng exemptional case na 1 year multiple

Based on my own experience, passbook is okay, as long as may solid history (built over time, not biglaang pasok) of deposits sa passbook account na yun. For cover letter and itinerary, check mo yung kay Poor Traveler (credible travel blogger): https://www.thepoortraveler.net/2016/06/successfully-get-australian-visa-online-requirements-steps-filipino-tourists/.
If may assets ang parents mo tying them to the Philippines, like land/property title, life insurance, mga ganun, attach mo na rin. Good luck!

Tagal din pala ng Commbank. May mga stories kasi before na dito nagsignup na sila then pagdating sa Australia nakuha na nila kaagad on the same day yung ATM. Mukhang iba iba talaga.

Hello po. May alam po ba kayo pano procedure magrequest ng extension sana ng first entry date? 1month+ lang po kasi binigay sakin from grant date e. Ofw po kasi ako tapos magnonotice pako sa company ko then uwi ng pinas para kunin family. Parang masyado kulang yung 1month+. Salamat po.

I am not sure how pero pwede naman pong touchdown muna kayo sa Australia. like a week or two na vacation then balik uli kung san kayo nagwowork then settle everything that you need. mahalaga makapasok kayo within the specified first entry date.
suggestion ko lang naman po. hehe

+1 on this. Di naman need na magmove agad sa Australia. Pwede naman lumipad lang for like 1 day para lang maactivate visa then alis uli
