Hi mga Sis, ask ko lang sana if anyone have an idea if you can drive here and use ur Philippine license here in perth? were currently holding a 457 visa. thanks in advance mga sis!

as per my hubby's inquiry sa Transport agency nila, 3 months from the time na dumating ka sa WA, pwede gamitin ang Phil driving license. after that, hindi na. you need to apply na for WA license.

sa aking pagkakaalam, hindi. mahigpit sila pagdating sa hiring eh. dapat may right to work/visa to work.

You can use your driver's license from the philippines basta hubdi expired

got my visa last friday, booked my tickets last saturday. i'm flying na on wednesday. ang bilis! yey!

[eklea]

@ sis Princess_Chill -- try pinoyau.com forum...a lot of useful facts and info you need to know about OZ andoon. you can be able to see links din going to a site where you can apply for a job....


i'm going through the process of preparing my docs...solo flight lodging sa VIA ang peg ko now...kaya gudlak to meeee aja! aja!

[Princess_Chill]

wow sis thanks! good luck! after chatting with my friend parang na discourage ako mag school muna
para makapunta doon..kasi parang ang risky mababaon lang ako sa utang noon tapos walang kasiguraduhan
na ma permanent visa ako pag matapos na schooling ko...

[kookie420]

^ Di ka naman mababaon sa utang kasi you can work part time. I know a lot of people (friends and their siblings) who went through the student way and now they're citizens

[eklea]

^^ sis sorry ha pansin ko lang pessismist ka? hehe if you think malabo sa student way go on skilled visa nalang..if it seems hard for you because your current job is not on the list then switch to a job related at least if you can't take the risk then be patient nalang muna search and apply aplly sa OZ sites at baka makatisod ka rin... we have an officemate (BPO) na biglaan lang ang pgpunta niya sa OZ, a friend of her is applying for a job in OZ so nakisama lang siya apply din then in days my tumawag na employer na di niya expected may sasagot sa application niya and she can't do anything but to resign and of course salary wise she has 2 kids din and single mom mas pinili niya maging OFW..now her kids are there nadin...

tyagaan lang..positive lage..wag madiscourage agad...after all ng hirap naman, worth it ang gastos mo if you think of that way.

[Princess_Chill]

to be honest may pagka pessimist talaga ako...simula kasi ng nagka family ako im not really into taking
a big risk...kasi pagnagkamali ako ng decision hindi lang ako mag susuffer pati narin family ko....

i'll research more para alam ko kung anong gera tatahakin ko para kahit papano handa ako hindi nga nga lang pag dating doon


thanks sis sa encouragement and mga tips! xoxo

wow sis congrats. sabi syo approved uli yan eh. ilang days inabot processing nyan?

[AussieMom]

Hi mga Sis, required na ba ang health insurance ngayon for a minimum of 3 months tourist visa? Dati kase di naman ni require Mom ko nun, 1 year din sya dati.  Yung natanggap ko kase na email request for medical exam and health insurance. Pwede bang medical exam na lang;)

[freeswan]

^^ thanks! one month ako naghintay ng decision sis.

^ sis, kung anong sabi ng embassy, sundin mo. don't give them a reason to refuse your visa application.

[oreo08]

^^kung nirequest ng immigration officer yun, you have to get it. And yes, ganyan na ngayon  especially if you want your mum to stay in Australia for at least 3 months. I know, kasi kakaapply lang din ng mum ko ng visa... hopefully magrant ng 1 yr. Yun kasi nirequest ko dahil manganganak ako.

The letter I got from the immigration officer nanghihingi rin ng medical exam (with chest xray) and evidence of health insurance for the whole duration of her stay. Medyo masakit sa bulsa since 7-8 months ideally ang stay nya dito. Pero walang magagawa e. Yun ang requirements

On other news, I finally got my Citizenship. Whoop! Dapat matagal ko na to ni-lodge, kaso tinatamad ako... and ayoko kasi talaga magpledge at magisang umakyat ng stage! tatawagin pa name ko! Eh ako lang magisa aakyat!! Nahihiya ako

[08joan08]

May isa pa pala thread ng australia hehe..

share ko lang, nilodge namin ni hubby tourist visa May 28, nagtext embassy ng May 29 na nareceive na nila, June 5 approved na visa nareceive namin ng June 7.. dapat June 6 pa lang kaso lang nakakainis Air 21 di daw malocate bahay namin :|

Super bilis naapprove kaya nakakatuwa, sa Sept pa naman alis namin.. 3 weeks leave lang kasi inaapprove ng company..

[super_mum]

Hi guys,

Anyone close to Melbourne CBD? Would you like to meet up?
I would just like to meet new friends, interests is on showbiz in the Philippines and Travel...LOL!

[AussieMom]

Thanks sis freeswan and oreo08, kuha ko na lang din insurance baka kase yun pa maging reason para ireject. We have applied for 1 year visa pero after 6 months balik muna pinas, then after 2 months saka ulit balik dito sa Aus, so 6 months lang muna health insurance na kunin ko then sabihin ko na lang kuha na lang ulit pag balik. Sana nga 3 year visa ibigay.

[oreo08]

kaloka, may backlog daw ang pagreview ng medical results ngayon... 8 weeks!!!

They forwarded my Mom's medical results on June 13 sa Australian Medical Officer kaso yun nga lang, may backlog kuno... ewan ko kung makaabot Mom ko before ako manganak or baka nakapanganak na ako pag nagkataon

[jenny_2284]

^sis ore08, pareho tayo case. I applied 1 year tourist visa for my mum, thru via. she just had her medical exam i think last week ata and sabi ok nman daw so wait na lang result. i indicated sa letter na due ako before end of august. so if me 8 weeks backlog, i hope sabi lang nila. ikaw ba nag apply for your mum here or sa pinas mo pinag apply? sana they will grant our parents ng 3 years, multiple visa.

same tayo, ako naman kaka approve lang citizneship waiting for ceremony na lang. just check it online sa status and din ko nalaman. letter na lang. though sa hubby and kids ko further process pa din kahit sabay kami nag apply.

kelan ang due mo?

[oreo08]

June 2 sya nagapply ng visa through VIA rin. June 10, we received an email asking for proof of health insurance and yun nga, pamedical na daw sya. My mom had her medical done the day after and June 13 nga daw finorward sa Health Operation Centre for review by a medical officer. May backlog nga daw ng at least 8 weeks and they cant decide until thats done. So far, 3 weeks na since June 13 and wala pa rin decision. So I dunno kung sabi lang nila yun or totoo talaga. But as long as she gets here to see her granddaughter, ok na ko.

My edd is Aug 17

Corrected: June 13, not June 23

[jenny_2284]

When you mentioned about requiring to show health insurance, I called my Mum and asked if kasama sa hinihingi sa kanya yun. Sabi wala sa letter nya, medical lang (chest xray). Pina double check ko para sigurado. July 27 ko sana sya pinapapunta dito para abutan nia 6th birthday ng bunso ko which is Aug 3. Due ko is Aug 25.

How old is your Mum pala if I may ask? And san kayo kumuha ng health insurance and how much it cost you? I heard one sa bluecross meron daw P4k something.eron din daw dito something $20 ata a month pero me cash out pa din daw.

Just asking lang paraakapag estimate din kami ng budget for that.

Thanks.
