Hello po ask ko sana sa mga nag big move na nag resign, need to bang mag update sa immi account na resign na tapos another update pag naka hanap ng work. Or pwede po na yung next update is upon next work na? Salamat po sa sasagot.

You mean approved na ang visa tapos nag resign na sa pinas at mag bibig move na? If this is the case no need na mag update sa immi account.

If ang case mo naman is nag hihintay pa ng visa grant. Nung time ko, while waiting sa grant, lumipat ako ng work pero hindi na ako nag update ng info sa immi account, since invited naman na ako nun at nakapag lodge na.

Not sure if natanong na ito before, pero sa mga PR holder po na dumirecho nag BM from other countries to AU (hindi galing sa PH), nung umuwi ba kayo sa PH for vacation from AU, kinailangan pa bang mag acquire ng CFO seminar bago maka exit sa Pinas pabalik AU?

hello everyone....seeing na may mga CFO related infos here....about to fly-in to AU this september as PR.
I understand na it is necessary to get the CFO certificate. When is the best time to get the certificate? pwede na kaya ngayong coming month or too early? May expiration ba ang CFO? TIA

May schedule yan sila, and slots run out quickly. Mon to Thurs, 7am exactly mag-abang ka otherwise you'll get the error. All the information is on their website also: https://cfo.gov.ph/

Usually passport lang. Kita na nila agad kung anong visa type mo.

As for my experience naman, madali lang naman. I emailed my application (combined family) last April 17, and tinawagan ko din agad to confirm if na-receive nila 'yung application ko. The next day, nag-follow up ako sa hotline and they gave me the application reference number. Tatawag daw sila after 2 or 3 days for approval pero wala naman kaya nag-follow up ulit ako last April 26, 2024. Then sabi ng representative, our application was already approved last April 24 and binigay na niya Medicare number namin. Nag-request na din ako ng linking code for me and my wife para sa mygov app kasi sayang 'yung tawag. Kahapon pinacheckup ko na 'yung bunso ko para matry ko kung ok ba 'yung medicare card namin. At ok siya tinanggap naman ng clinic 'yung digital ID.

Yesser! Dito ako sa Brisbane! Dito ako nakahanap work hehe.

Update. Mas okay gawin ang Medicare thru mygov. Tapos ginawa ko, after two days tumawag ako. Sa mygov kasi mas madali kasi makakakuha ka ng reference number/application number after mo magapply sa medicare. So mas madaling matrack kapag tumawag ka sa medicare. Binigay nila same time ang Medicare number sa akin plus inassist ako ilink sa mygov.

Sa tfn ganun din, next day tumawag ako to ask for my tax number. Haha.

So in 2 days, natapos ko yung tfn and medicare.

I tried looking at the cost and it's too high. I suggest using BPI Outward Remittance.

Preparing for my big move next month. Any specific items that you regretted bringing? Inversely, anything you wish you had brought or brought more of?

YAYYYY! May work ka na?

Kami wala naman ni-regret na dinala or hindi dinala, hahaha. Literal na damit lang kasi bitbit namin. Lahat naman halos available na dito, or merong alternative. In terms of food kasi, wala na tayo magagawa dyan hahaha di naman pwedeng mag angkat ng isang toneladang tuyo o daing.

All the best sa BM!

P.S. Siguro yung sa may mga prescribed medicine na maintenance, mas ok na kumuha ng medical certificate or letter from your old doctor para ma-present sa mga doctors naman dito at makapag-suggest sila alternative dito if hindi available yung gamot.

I was thinking if family, dapat meron ka na yung mga pagdating dun bibili ka din assuming na outweigh yung pagdala vs cost of the baggage weight:
1. kitchen cookwares and utensils
2. kitchen appliance (rice cooker if like from Rukawa is yung high end na japanese/madaming setting na models), mixer,
3. pillows (if bago pa and maselan)
4. laptops/ cameras
5. nakikita ko sa pinoy in melbourne hanap lagi calamansi hehe, although di naman madadala to.

ideally, anything na pagdating don, bibili ka, and at that price id rather bring that item kesa entry level na item for the money.
