Things to do first Before going to Australia

edited April 2014 in General
Since meron "Things to do first after arriving in Australia", dapat meron din before going to Australia :D
ginawa ko to para magpalitan tyo ng kuro kuro at experience sa ano ang gagawin bago pumunta sa AU :)

share kayo guys lalo na sa mga nasa AU na, ano ang mga ginawa nyo para paghandaan ang pag-alis.
sa ngayon ito pa lang ang nareresearch ko...

1. Kelangan magpunta sa Commission on Filipino Overseas (CFO)
- tatakan nila ang passport mo, pag walang tatak, hindi ka makaka-alis ng pinas
ito yung website
http://www.cfo.gov.ph/
http://www.cfo.gov.ph/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1347:for-filipinos-leaving-the-country-with-an-immigrant-visa&catid=139

2. Mas maganda kung sa IOM kumuha ng plane ticket, mas mura at mas malaki ang allowed baggage, nasa 40-60kilos kung hindi ako nagkakamali
https://www.iom.int/jahia/Jahia/the-philippines

yung iba magshare po kayo kung ano pa ang pede maishare like
- bank accounts na iopen na accredited dun sa AU
- pano maghanap ng bahay dun habang nasa pinas pa etc...

    How about finding a job first before flying to Australia so new migrants are not pressured anymore when they get there? hehe

    So visa label and CFO sticker ang need? Para sa passports? Kapag minor, hindi na need mag-appearance and umattend seminars?

    Hindi na kailangan sa Australia but hindi daw nila masasabi the same for other countries. Pero nakasulat dun pwede verify using VEVO. Tapos yun passport mo dapat dala mo lagi yun grant letter mo together with it. Siguro best thing is to ask yun VIA ba un, I'm sure they'd know if required paglabas mo ng Pinas ang visa label.

    Actually ako nung nakuha ko na ang PR ko dito sa Australia umuwi agad ako ng pinas. Bago na ang ang philippine passport ko nun at wala akong stiker o stamp ng visa ko. pauwi ko pa lang wala naging problema kasi nasa network naman ang visa ko kaya madali nila na verify. Nung pagbalik ko naman ng Pinas dun pa lang sa pag check in ko sa quantas at pagkuha ng ticket konting tanung lang at verify lang nila sa network ang visa ko ayun binigay na sa akin ang ticket ko sabay pasok na ako sa loob papunta sa eroplano.

    kung tutuusin di na kailangan ang sticker visa sa passport. Pero sa mga bago pa lang papunta mganda mayrun pa rin kayu kung ayaw nyo maabala at para di kayo mag worry. i print nyo rin ang visa nyo sa bond paper para ipakita nyo agad sa pag checkin at sa custom kung kailangan pa ng documents..

    Goodluck.

    Yup, better na din meron visa sticker. As a backup na din during check-in sa immigration just in case down ang system ng VEVO, mache-check pa din na valid ang visa mo through the sticker. At saka ok din yun kasi pampaganda ng passport nyo. Hahaha! :D Something to be proud of, pinaghirapan yun e. O di ba? ;;)

    Nacurious ako sa tanong ni @mikai, parang ganyan din kasi balak ko gawin kaso hindi ko alam kung magkano aabutin ko para magpadala lang ng gamit papunta Australia.

    Sa mga pupunta ng Australia at walang matutuluyang kamag-anak o kaibigan, ok ding magscout nang maaga ng mga murang flat. Mag-email lang kayo in advance sa napupusuan niyo para mareserve yung unit sa inyo :)

    suggestion ko po pa visa label pa rin para sure...
    lalo na kung sa Pinas ka manggagaling....
    maraming loko sa immigration saten, hahanapan ka ng kung ano ano...
    kaya mas mabuti na wala silang makitang dahilan para hindi ka makaalis...
    opinion ko lang naman po :)

    yup may point system ang pagrent ng house, it's not easy. I was surprised when I found out na pati sa pagrent e point system na naman!

    Click this link to view the first page of the rent application form. This will explain the 100pts requirements.

    Note that the drivers license ID in the form means Australian drivers license. Pero I heard na nakakakuha ng rent yung iba basta may job contract na.
