FYI, for those looking for ways to transfer money from PH to AU, may facility si BPI na you can process it via web if you have BPI online banking. Make sure lang na your PH number can still receive OTP. I tried it earlier and nagreflect din agad sa AU account namin within the day.

Hi @whimpee, may I ask how much are the charges incurred for the transfer? Tia

It depends on how much you are sending, it will show it to you naman before you proceed. Pero overall sakin parang lumabas na 37+ php to aud yung naging equivalent.

Sa mga ang dependent ay Nurse ang occupation, once ma grantan ng visa ang primary applicant , need pa ba dumaan ng dependent na nurse sa assessment para makahanap ng work sa Australia ? Ano ano pong requirements ang kailangan dalhin ? Salamat po sa mga sasagot.

Hello po. Ung 10K is for family nio un. Pwde din kau magdala ng over 10K, but you need to declare and would be better kung may evidence ng source.

@money_engineer salamat po sa advice 😊

Hi Everyone. I just received my PR Visa SB 189 this November. I immediately attended CFO/PDOS and got the digital certificate. During the seminar, they shared the list of requirements to present to PH immigration. Ok lang po paki verify for those who have made the BM post-September 2023 (new immigration guidelines)?

Airline Passenger Profile Declaration Form (airline) TBD, depends on the airline.
BOI - Travel Declaration and acceptance of Terms and Risks Form - download from Buereau of Immigration

Not exactly a question for you per se, but to anyone na rin siguro: need pa rin ng travel/health insurance even though PR status ka na sa Aus? In my experience sa traveling with temporary visas, I get insurance (try checking out Pacific Cross also) pero 'di at all hinihingi ng IO so just curious sa situation na 'to.

Hindi sya hiningi sa amin, but if the IO did, I would have told them na we will be covered under Medicare.

Hello po, as for my experience, I go straight away to their office and request for assistance for the enrollment. The staff will gladly assist you in filling the forms and you can ask them questions if you need further clarifications. Don't worry, they will provide the form.

Once completed, you can ask your medicare no.

Answer:

Since you're already PR, one way ticket is okay.
No need travel insurance.
Ipakita mo ang Printed CFO certificate (very important) and Visa Grant Document.
Medicare, Aus Bank, you may process later once nandito kana Aus.

Congrats!

For those who did their BM already, more or less how much AUD cash did you bring?

Since I heard almost cashless na sa Au, I was planning to bring $1500 - $2500 AUD (for a couple) upon arrival. The rest will be processed thru bank transfer.

Iniisip po namin cash lang for myki card, sim, and rental fee for at least a month.

TIA for your advice.

We brought around 7k for a family of 5 pero dineposit din agad namin as soon as we opened a bank account. Usually for rent, via bank transfer ang payment.

Parang ok lang yang amount na yan for cash (though kami hindi nagdala at all, galing kami SG but I dont think it matters). Sabi nga ni @whimpee yung 1st payment sa rent (and bond - security deposit commonly satin yan) dito once you have secured a property is through bank na. yung samin ay BPAY (it's their bills payment system here).

Bili agad ng SIM, yan ang unang una nyo gawin. Sobrang halaga kasi ng local number dito (sana makakuha kayo ng maganda at madali memorise hahaha di ka kasi makakapili e, lalo bibilhin mo lang sa supermarket or convenience store, di ko lang alam sa airport. naka chamba naman kami na maganda lol). Halos lahat you need to link to your mobile number. Next priority, bank account para makapag wire transfer na agad. Laking tulong pag may laman ang local bank acct ng pera sa home hunting. Dun kasi sa 100-pt ID system nila dito, that includes Proof of Balance. Proof that you have enough money to pay for your rental. Mas ok sana kung may work na pagdating dito para mas malakas yung application nyo, pero kung wala talaga, daanin na lang sa laman ng account hehe.

Dito kami naghanap ng bahay pala: https://www.tenantapp.com.au/ and https://www.realestate.com.au/
Tandem sila.

Kung mag AirBnb kayo sa unang month nyo here, ask your host if they can allow you to receive mails. Yung debit card kasi ipapadala yun, so need upon account opening ng local address (which is normal naman lol).

Thanks @_sebodemacho how long po pala bago kayo nakasecure ng rental property?

Yung bank statement Au local bank not PH bank po? Or pwede rin PH bank?

Shared house muna inavail namin for almost 2 months stay. Planning to secure rental property pag may work na kami para mailapit namin sa kung saan work namin.

Yung Proof of Balance / Bank Statement mas ok kung AU bank na. Syempre, naturally you will be paying rent in AUD, so they would prefer the AU bank.

Luckily, it took us just 2 wks. Sakto we received the good news that we secured the property on our 2nd week (nitong Monday lang 28 Nov). Waiting na lang kami ng handover next week.

Ang approach kasi namin, once may magustuhan register agad for viewing. Pag gustong gusto na after viewing, apply na agad. Mabilis kasi nawawala yung mga napupusuan namin, pansin ko lang rin. Though, itong nakuha namin this is our first and only application that we did. Tapos approved agad.

Common practice is 4 weeks bond plus 2 weeks advance. Yung bond ay sa isang government agency binabayaran para hindi itakbo ng landlord. Tama yung sinabi ni @_sebodemacho, pag nagustuhan, apply agad kasi pag maghintay ka, mauunahan ka.

Mabilis lang po ang pag release ng CFO, after seminar and once makapagbayad na, immediately they will email po ang certificate. Need to book your appointment thru online before 7am in the morning. 50 slot lang po per day ang pwede mag register. One successful registration, wait for officer na magemail po regarding sa available schedule. You can do it anytime naman po and dont need to wait near your flight schedules. Depende po kasi sa availability ng schedules at baka po magahol kayo.. Hope it helps.

Hi Guys, for those who recently had their BM, anong airline kayo nagbook? I read before na Qantas would be better because of the baggage allowance pero would like to get your inputs. Wala kasi akong nakikita so far na puro Cebpac lang, mostly will have to transfer to another airline during the layovers. Thanks!
