Hi po. Jake here 👋 working dito sa SG sa construction industry. Pwede po ba na ang magsign sa statement of service ko ay not a supervisory or managerial position? Balak ko po na ipapirma sa coworker ko na halos parehas kami ng job task and position but ang pinagkaiba lang ay may "executive" na nakalagay sa job title ko at "senior" naman sa kanya. Mas mataas siya isang level sa akin. Paexpire na po kasi work pass ko next year and iniiwasan ko na malaman ng HR or boss ko sa project site na nagbabalak akong magapply PR sa ibang bansa. Nagwoworry ako na baka makaapekto ito sa renewal ng pass ko if sakaling madelay or malas ang application ko. Asking po dito sa thread baka may same experience and tinanggap ni Vetassess yung SOS. Maraming salamat po sa sasagot.

Ang alam as long as nauna syang mahire sayo ayos lang, pero baka magfall to under Statutory Declaration magbabayad ka nga lang sa notary public kasi di naman sya ung manager mo. Better have a manager na kakilala mo na pwede magsign for you, else magstat dec ka na lang.

Yung current employer ko i just asked for a simple Cert of employment with these info:
1. Company name
2. Full name of employee
3. Working hours
4. Position
5. Salary

What i remember ang wala lang is job desc kasi mahahalata na hehee. So sabi ko for tourist visa.

Apart from that gumawa ako stat dec with complete info lalo na yung job description. I added postings from job ads ano JD ng position as attachment. (Indirectly saying ano JD ng hina hire nila with similar post).

Hi @Conboyboy maraming salamat sa pagshare ng experience mo. Noted and baka try ko rin magrequest gaya ng ginawa mo. Tanong ko lang if ikaw ba mismo pumirma ng stat dec mo or nakiusap ka sa ibang supervisor/manager mo para pirmahan sa harap ng abogado? Nagbackread ako and may nabasa ako na sila raw nagprepare and nagsign na rin ng kanilang stat dec kaso di ko na nakita yung update nila if okay ba kay vetassess yun. Old na rin kasi yung thread kaya di ko na sinubukang imessage yung nagpost nun.

Mine was done last year mga feb. For my current employer, i asked them to sign my COE as per my format without the Job description.

I also made my own SD signed by myself and had it notarized in Ph. I attached other documents such as Job posrings from career future to show the job desc of my current position.

Jake23 · April 27

@Conboyboy thank you po sa info.

maje0323 · April 30

Hello ask ko lang po if pwede gumawa ng bagong Anmac account para ipaassess yung current hospital experience ko? Di po kasi ako binigyan ng Skill assessement ng ANMAC dahil yung previous employer ko dineny ng HR yung letter na ipinasa ko sa kanila. Salamat po sa sasagot

SATA AMK mabilis and efficient. Yung tests na gagawin ay depende sa referral letter mo from dha. Usually xray, hiv, egfr (kidney), physical, and vision test for adults.

Bring a printed copy of your covid vax cert. They asked for mine during my medical.

2Au · May 10

Thank you @mathilde9 .
Yung physical ano test gnwa nila?
Pano kaya kpag may health declaration like hypertensive, previous surgery? My additional tests pa kaya?

Hindi ko sure sa pre-existing condition kung paano eh. Pero may interview with doctor sa huli, doon nya itatanong lahat and ideclare mo lang. Then magsasabi naman sila sayo if may action item sa end mo or wala na.

2Au · May 10

Oh ok. Thank you.

MTfighter · May 21

Thank you @mathilde9 for recommending SATA AMK. kakamedical plang nmen kahapon ng wife ko, may ganitong status na agad. 😀

Hello. Question po. May visa 491 po kami nagrant nung Nov-2023, pero due to personal reasons, mag stay pa kami sa SG at balak namin sa Mar-2025 pa namin makakalipat ng AU. Nakapag 1st entry na kami last Mar-2024.

Ngayon po, nakareceive kami ng email from DHA na magupdate kami ng residential address sa AU via immiacct. Eh since wala pa kami sa AU, pahelp lang po pano kaya kami magrespond dun sa hinihingi ng DHA?

Thank you po in advance! 🙂

Hello everyone,

Not really pinoy but married to one Hope, it’s ok if I join in here.

Firstly thanks for all the info here, has been very helpful to read. (Especially, @Ozdrims and @mathilde9 )

(Even though I am just beginning to learn Tagalog, and with a bit of help from my spouse )

Both spouse and I are based in Singapore. We have done our meds at AMK Sata in Feb 2024 as well.

Have a lodged-visa, since Feb 2024 (190 from NSW, 85 points including state) as a Web developer. (Spouse is a Civil Engineer)

Just wanted to say hi and halo-halo and make friends.

Salamat Po!

Ozdrims · July 2

Welcome here! @bilogbalat , glad that this forum helped both of you , we’re just normal human doing normal stuff 😂 @mathilde9 has super telekinetic powers judging from her profile pic

while me i like to join in healthy discussions
Congratulations 🥳 on your visa journey , feel free to share your thoughts and some interesting facts about your journey - that would help others here learn from wealth of experiences

We're just bored and a bit anxious waiting for our grants, at the same time would like to extend help to fellow aspiring migrants based on our personal experiences and own research about au migration. (Tips and guidance shared by members in this forum already in Australia helped a lot too.)

Since you're already awaiting visa grant, I believe there will be lesser worries and research needed. You've passed the most tedious and crucial stages of migration (for me)--everything before visa lodgement. Super congrats! 😅

Most concerns about moving to AU (logistics/paper works/house rental/job hunting, etc) are already posted in this forum, some may be outdated but we have helpful members here who share their most recent experiences. Just search and read a little bit. Goodluck!

Thanks for the welcome @mathilde9 .

Yes, indeed it is bit anxiety driving but have to keep it calm . I have been trying to keep myself busy with other stuff to cope with it - mostly reading about various neighbourhoods and places to live and work in NSW. Shall see how it goes.

Salamat everyone.

Hi @bbsdgr8 if it helps - klook seem to have some airport transfer options too- but they seem very expensive for SYD to Wollongong route . And as far as I have researched, trains allow max 2 bags (within certain sizes) per passenger. Not sure if you can work around that and use it to your advantage.

(or perhaps if it's cost-effective, consider storing your non important luggage at the airport and picking it up some other time)

--> trains allow max 2 bags..

Sorry it's not two- but just one large baggage (other hand carry) . (https://transportnsw.info/travel-info/using-public-transport/regional-booking-travel-information/luggage-on-nsw-trainlink)
