    Hello po! For Visa 190 holders, allowed po ba mag in and out of AU after 1st entry for vacation purposes? Will it affect citizenship application po? Thanks po.

    Yes, it's allowed. Just be mindful of the duration you are outside of Australia, kasi if it's quite long it will affect your residency count (may residency requirement na need mo mafulfil para maging eligible ka to apply for citizenship). Check the citizenship requirements here: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/citizenship/become-a-citizen

    This might help: https://pinoyau.info/discussion/comment/395750/#Comment_395750 In my opinion, it might be best to ask DHA directly.

    13 20 11. Best time to call is around 730am in the morning.

    Just to share, a few weeks ago I followed up our application, ang sabi nila is nasa August applications pa lang yung pinoprocess nila.

    I called again this week and told them I needed the Medicare number for our private inaurance. Ayun, naprocess na nung agent pero it took 2.5 hours on the phone (5 kasi kami in the application).

    Hello po, Sa mga nakaexperience mo magBM sa Australia while pregnant, nahirapan po ba kayo makahanap ng work?

    Currently, may remote work po ako in the Philippines and plan ko po na wag muna magresign and dalhin siya sa AU. Need ko po ba siya ideclare as income pag nasa Australia na?

    Thank you po sa mga sasagot!

    Just wanted to share some good news. My 189 visa was granted last October 2023 and now I will be moving last week of January 2024. I managed to get a job thru online. Start date is 05 February 2024. Thank you Lord

    Congrats po! May I know what industry and anong state po kayo nakakuha ng work?

    I'm Internal Auditor and will be working in a Consulting Firm in Brisbane CBD

    Nice! I'm just curious; Is the preferred Australian CV format po kaya just one-pager? heard this multiple times, nahihirapan naman akong isqueeze yung 10 year work experience to one page. hehe.

    Hello. How much po ang modest allowance to visit Sydney for 2 weeks excluding accommodation? Thanks!

    It'll depend on your plans and preferences, like do you prefer to dine out to fancy restos, or are you more frugal, do you intend to go to tourist spots with entry fees, and so on. But for me I budgeted at least 10K PHP per dayβ€”I think that's a safe minimum.

    Ours took 8 months. We had some things to settle muna bago umalis. It's totally up to you if you are fully prepared agad, go for it.
