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.

Isama sa cover letter na magaalaga sila ng bata and yung reason, then kayo magsponsor ng lahat ng needs niya. Very important ito.

Gawan niyo rin ng itinenary yung gagawin nila dyan like tourist spots etc

Ang importante ay kumuha kayo ng best medical insurance sa mom and dad mo. Ang mahal ng medical fees dito pagnagpaconfine ang walang medical insurance dito.

Bank Certificate - dapat annual daily average. Meron silang chinecheck na figure dito. Hindi yung biglaan nagkaroon ng pera. Red Flag yun.

Visa sa previous passports. Maganda rin kung kasama sa OECD countries. *. Diploma/toga/academic transcript/ pictures/ yearbook - hehe joke lang po. Makakalabas ka nga sa Pilipinas ito as a tourist pero dito sa Australia pagsususpetsahan ka naman na magwowork.

Thanks po sa tips! Na approve na po tourist visa ng parents ko mangagaling din sila dito SG.

congrats po sa tourist visa ng parents nyo.. ano po ina attach nyo na mga docs? gusto ko din sana isama mom ko at kapatid sa first entry.. thanks

bank statements

visa from other countries (if any)

passport pic

invitation letter from friend in au (to show na mag t.tourist tlga sila and not samahan kami)

travel itinerary

passport

valid ID

hi po! eto lang po ata hope this helps

thank you so much po hindi mo na po ininclude yong grant letter mo? May nabasa kasi ako yung tourist visa sponsored stream hehehe..

Double check the DHA page, but AFAIK you must be a settled AU resident to sponsor a tourist visa. So need to have been living here for at least 2 years I think. They can still apply for a tourist visa, yung hindi sponsored.

thank you po

nope hindi po namin ininclude yung grant letter kase may invitation letter na sila from friend nila sa Melbourne. so yun nalang ginamit namin & nag m.match kase dun sa itinerary

intdesigner_arki · April 2023

Hi po, question.. yung sa mga may work na po jan sa AU.. tinry nyo po ba mag apply ng job from offshore? Nasa SG pa po kase kami and may toddler so ideally before kami lumipat jan may job na.. possible po ba yun?

Arch draftsperson yung nominated skill ko and yung husband ko naman aircraft mechanic dito sa SG..

Naisip po namin ilagay yung address ng auntie namin sa Sydney and maghanap ng way na bumili ng AU sim card. Mas mataas po ba yung chance na ma shortlist ng employers if ganun po?

Or best to indicate na nasa Singapore pa po kami and mag.re-relocate pa lang in a 1-2 months? and lagay nalang namin yung whatsapp namin?

Salamat po sa makaka advice! clueless po kami and kinakbahan naaa waaa

koaladream · April 2023

Hi po sa mga healthcare workers dito especially Medical Laboratory Scientist,

May na-hire na po ba dito ng au government hospitals/institutions as Scientist/Technician even without local experience? As in first job.

Im wondering if it’s possible 😩

kristina31 · April 2023

Good day po mga kabayan. We are family of 3 with a baby on the way. We'll be arriving on May 2023. Ask ko lang po
1. What documents are needed to present sa io except for passport, visa grant and cfo cert.
2. Do we need to have travel insurance and medical insurance before flying?

Thank you and God bless

Hello po sa lahat. Flight ko na po sa Au in 2 weeks. San po ba pinakamababang buying rate ng AUD dito sa Pinas? Mga 3-4K AUD po balak ko ipapalit.

Try niyo sa Ermita merong money changer dyan na competitive pero dapat days in advance kayo magpareserve kasi konti lang audollars sa Manila. Dati nung pinuntahan ko yun, wala silang australian dollars, kasi dapat daw tumawag muna para magreserve kaso flight ko na yung araw na yun. Dapat maaga kayo kasi ang hirap ang parking doon.

Thank you Sir @tigerlance

congrats big move na talaga ang bilis!

Oo @chemron9400 kailangan na agad kumayod agad malaki pa babayarang utang sa nagastos sa visa processing ko eh hahaha

Pwede mo po check sa domain, rent.au tsaka realestate.com.au para may idea ka ng cost per week sa bawat suburb. Mas malayo sa city center, mas mura.

1st week of May po ang flight namin. Planning to book inspections 1 week before arrival & luckily may friend naman na pwede kami makitira temporarily. I am personally looking at areas near Parramatta/Westmead/Merrylands/Granville. Yung price po around that area ay 350~450 per week for 1 to 2 bedrooms na (cheaper kapag studio units). 1 hour travel time sya papuntang city center by public transpo and 30mins by driving.

Hope people who'll be moving soon (to Sydney/NSW especially) can share their house-hunting experience. Medyo kinabahan ako sa news about the worsening rental crisis, hesitating moving agad na tuloy (lalo na't wala akong relatives/friends to depend on there) and thinking baka best to do it slowly over a long period of time:

Ikr, apparently 650k ang migration numbers (from 2020 yata) so for sure marami ang papasok kasabay natin, so mukhang lulubha. Natatakot akong maging homeless

If anyone can provide more insight, lalo na sa mga nakatira na sa Aus for a while — tingin niyo ba typical lang 'to sa central locations (say, Sydney city) and better ang housing opportunities sa more regional areas?

I think is not immediate crisis that immediately no available rental houses. meron cgro s mga suburbs 1 hr away in sydney. the best way to do is we have to move as soon as we can.

StbMTAu · April 2023

Hi everyone! ask ko lg po if need pa ng travel insurance? What worries me is yung mga IO baka lahat nlng hanapin. Sa mga nkalipad na sa Aus pa share naman po ng experience 🙂 Thank yoü

Ganyan din plan ko pero iba iba kasi stories ng mga tao when it comes to job hunting eh. Maraming nagsasabi na dapat onshore ka muna before applying because mas madali kang macontact since you already have an Australian number. Others say na possible daw makakuha while being offshore. Iba iba talaga.
