sir, @esmejeff . I just got my Medicare Entitlement Statement this week and apparently from the time a temporary visa holder lodged their PR visa application, they are already entitled to BLUE (interim) Medicare card - so no medicare levy refund wit…
@Pherds pag na-aapprove sya as your dependent, she will also be given work rights, meaning she can work having 457 dependent visa.
@fgs, i think 187 is only applicable to onshore applicants.
Hi @Pherds. Yes, you are allowed to include dependent applicants under 457 visa as long as your sponsoring employer agrees to extend their sponsorship to your dependents. If they do, then you can add them as secondary applicants under your 457 visa.…
@Ramir once nalodge na ng employer mo yung nomination, they will get an email confirmation from immi and a TRN - Nomination Transaction Reference Number will be provided. Once you have this, you can now lodge your application bit. Yes you can qualif…
@Ramir yes. Either they do it on their own or they hire a migration agent to do that, pero bottom line, that's for them to lodge kasi there will be specific business documentation that needs to be uploaded.
@MonicDGreat for my dependents, it took me less than 30 days - with docu request. See our timeline below;
20150204 - Visa Grant (primary applicant)
20150206 - Lodge Dependent Visa (Minor - Single Parent)
20150219 - Requested for Updated Form 1229…
@Ramir #1 is for your employer. #2 is for you. #1 is a requirement for you to be able to lodge your application since they will need your Nomination Transaction Number.
@honece1003, question, is your AU potential employer, pwede ba silang magsponsor ng overseas worker? kasi as far as I know, they should be an approved sponsor before they can nominate you for an occupation. So basically, the first step is for them t…
HI @honece1003 this actually depends on what occupation code the position your sponsoring company will be nominating you in. This needs to align with your experience and qualifications. Also, the sponsoring employer should be able to justify that th…
HI Sir @epiboy99. For this financial year po, full year pa rin po ba ang i-aapply nyong exemption? or till the time na naglodge ng PR, since eligible na for blue medicare card? Yung application po ba for exemption need i apply after June 30, tama p…
@DreamerA, last year it was 1,060 AUD for primary applicant, 1,060 for dependents 18yrs and older, and 265 for dependents younger than 17 yrs and younger. Note na this is just the applicant's costs, merong cost associated with sponsoring/nominating …
@DreamerA. Yes, your dependents have the same work rights. Actually mas flexible sila ng konti as they aren't tied to any employer unlike the primary, they can only work under their sponsoring employer.
Medicare levy exemption is filed every after financial year. So for 2015-2016 financial year, you can apply after june 30. Before you process your tax refund, you should apply for medicare levy exemption. They will give you a certificate which then …
@DreamerA, a year ago, less than 9K yung binayaran ko, but during that time, it was required to pay philhealth premium (2.4K), recently daw this is no longer required.
HI @nathan26, i believe if your employer(an approved sponsor) is sponsoring you and you are outside Australia, 457 lang ang visa for you. Unless you would want to take the independent path which is either 189/190/489.
@epiboy99 ngayon ko lang napansin. I think magkaiba po yung Bridging visa natin sir. Mine is No Travel. I called Immigration and i will need to lodged Bridging Visa B if i intend to leave Australia while my application is being processed and a deci…
@Moxie nyay!! They require your employment contract authenticated by POLO here in AU? or consularization lang? sa ACT(Canberra) pa ang POLO dito sa AU.. not sure if the consulate office here in SYD accommodates employment contract verification.
@newboy bale yung employment contract ko, originally walang repatriation of remains. So pinamodify ko sa employer ko yung contract to include yung section ng repatriation of remains. Tapos yung updated employment contract na may pirma ko at ng empl…
@DreamerA, yes may Kamahalan. On a lighter note, since may OEC ka na, you are exempted to pay travel tax and terminal fee.. Reduced cost naman if may dependents.
@newboy 7am palang nasa POEA na ako. Madaming tao eh. If hindi nagdown yung system n…
@Moxie, same case tayo. Direct hire din ako. Yung employer ko sa Manila sila din ang employer ko dito sa AU. So pinadagdag ko lang yung repatriation clause sa employment contract na pinirmahan namin. Tapos yung prinout nun na yung prinovide ko sa PO…
@Moxie yep, I secured an OEC. Punta ka sa POEA(EDSA) bring your contract, visa and passport, make sure to bring copies, at least two sets. They will have to examine your contract. They are very particular on repatriation of remains and leaves. If th…

@newboy Direct entry stream po ako. Since may positive skills assessment, three years relevant work experience and required IELTS score across all bands, di na po ako nagantay ng 2 years for transition. Fortunately, willing naman po si employer to n…
