@G_australia visa lodging muna before medical. You will need a HAP ID for your medical exam which is only generated after visa lodging.

@manofsteel mas maganda rin ang website ng westpac. Hehe. Yung saver account bonus interest rates nila magkaiba rin. Sa ANZ 3.6% pa for the first four months if you open by this week, westpac is 4% pa for the first three months lang ata. Both revert…

@manofsteel for the everyday account, the service fee is waived for the first 12 months for online applications, which is what I did http://www.movingtoaustralia.anz.com/english/australian-accounts-asia.html?sourcecode_1=BTM003

@manofsteel ah hehe nope, Australian ANZ account na so I can start transferring money before I move in a few months

in SG Savings to OZ Comment by cholle August 2014
@manofsteel from what I understand ANZ won't charge, rather it's the remitting bank (in my case, OCBC and DBS) who will impose charges for TT's done via internet banking. Hindi ba ganito naman usually?

Opened an account with ANZ. Monday ako nagsubmit ng online application, Tuesday nagemail na sila ng account numbers, today they called me but I just missed their call! They emailed me to confirm my number and to give them a convenient time to call.

Majulah! Tanda ko pa, I got my first job offer in Singapore on the eve of National Day 2011. Parang kailan lang!

@RED All statements must be notarized (affidavits in the Philippines. The rest can be scanned or digital copies, although if the CO is not convinced he might ask for a CTC later on. In my case they didn't.

@BoyPintados Unang mageexpire yung Singapore PCC ko, then medical, then NBI.

in Initial Entry Deadline Comment by cholle August 2014
@BoyPintados from what I understand yung earliest deadline ng PCC or medicals yung IED. Sa akin it was the medical.

in Initial Entry Deadline Comment by cholle August 2014
@BoyPintados 12 months yung sa NBI

GE rin ako pero di ako nagpractice as surveyor hehe. Anyway, sabi ng friends ko karamihan daw ng mga GE napupunta sa Brisbane, so I guess most of the jobs are there.

@dhey_almighty Exactly! Bulok na mga sistema, at utak talangka pa. At mahirap umasa na magbabago pa yan, sadly.

in Living Abroad... No Turning Back.. Comment by cholle August 2014
@retake may inapply kasi na waiver ng isang PCC. 6 PCC's ang required sa amin ng partner ko. Yung isa hindi talaga namin makuha. Yun na lang. Pag approved na yung waiver, maaapprove na rin yung visa siguro.

@retake same, ganyan rin screen ko, at may CO na ako. Waiting game pa rin!

@rareking @Xiaomau82 nakapunta na ako sa office nila. Laging yung Pinoy na staff nila ang nandoon (Rey ata?). You'd think na dahil may Pinoy staff sila they would at least be maasikaso of their Pinoy clients but no. Mabagal pa rin sumagot sa email, …

Na-post ko na ito sa ibang thread, pero mukhang mas relevant/helpful dito. Approved ang de facto ko, and he is the secondary applicant. At the time of lodging, 22 months pa lang yung relationship, and 20 months na kami living together. We don't hav…

Completely agree with @rareking. I think an agent would be most useful only if you have a really complicated case. The whole migration process is very straightforward and the steps are clearly outlined naman. Kelangan mo lang talaga magresearch, m…

Yung friend ko ganyan din. Ang nangyari napaaga sila ng kasal hehe. But yeah you can use the license as proof. Pero check mo lang yung validity ng license kung hanggang kailan.
