Hi po,

Ask ko lang po, sa mga 190 visa holders po, required po ba talaga na tumira po sa nominating state for 2 yrs po? May naka try na po ba sa inyo na ang first entry po ay sa ibang state agad, from overseas, tapos doon na po ibang state mag work at tumira? Salamat po!

BUMP. Curious din po ako. If ever may nakakuha ng confirmation sa state or sa dept.

Hello po, ask lang kapag ba nag sign ng health undertaking, form 815 and balak muna bumisita sa AU for a week. Need na ba agad mag comply sa Health Undertaking Services or okay lang kahit sa big move na po?

Ang alam ko po moral obligation po pero hindi legally required. Nagsabi na ako sa nominating state ko na baka lumipat ako since hindi ako makahanap ng work ko dito sa field ko. Pero lilipat ako kapag may offer ako sa ibang state.

Hi po. Just wanted to share that we were able to secure a rental approval even while we're still here in the Philippines - through the assistance of Rental Search Australia.

We chose to purchase their Relocation Package since there's a "guaranteed approval prior to arrival" indicated. We also know na it will be hard for us to secure a rental since we don't have rental history and we're bringing our dog with us.

Note:

• This is not sponsored post. I just want to share our experience with them
• We visited AU while waiting for our grant so we already have an idea sa areas/suburbs na we want

Timeline:

April 29:

• We completed their online questionnaire so they could assess our requirements and determine if our needs were realistic given the current rental market.

• They informed us that they typically begin the property search around 4–5 weeks before the desired move-in date, as this is when the widest range of listings becomes available.

• They also noted that their relocation managers only work with 1–2 clients at a time, so availability is limited.

• After receiving their feedback, we proceeded to purchase the relocation package the same day

May 19 (5 weeks before our arrival):
We were introduced to our assigned relocation manager

May 20
Our relocation manager provided us with a guide and templates for both the rental cover letter and our pet’s resume.

May 21
We had a call with our relocation manager to discuss our preferences which will help her shortlist suitable properties for us.

May 22
Our relocation manager sent us a list of potential properties based on our preferences. After reviewing them, we provided feedback on what we liked and didn’t like about each one.

May 24 - May 31
Our relocation manager conducted several property inspections on our behalf during this period. She coordinated directly with the property agents to schedule and attend the inspections. After each visit, she provided us with a video tour and a detailed report covering the property itself, the surrounding area, and her recommended strategy or next steps.

We also had an inspection where the listing was very impressive but the actual property was far below standard (rust on all the windows, cupboards were old and mouldy). She was transparent with her feedback and advised us not to proceed with the application, expressing concern for our health and pointing out that the rent was too high for a property in such poor condition.

Note: Only 8 video walkthroughs are included in the package.

June 1
At this stage, we had already applied to four properties we liked. However, the area was highly competitive, and we hadn’t received any feedback yet, which made us start losing hope of getting an approval.

We then decided to apply for a property (Property A) we had initially skipped. Although we liked it, it was missing a feature from our original requirements. After considering our situation, we chose to compromise and proceed with the application.

June 2
The agent for Property A contacted us to request our documents, including our visa grant, financial statements, and details about our pet.

June 3 - AM
They emailed us that our application has been forwarded to the owner for approval

June 3 - PM
Property agent informed us that our application has been approved!

After rent approval, Rental Search Australia will also manage the key collection and conduct the inspection report. They have also been assisting us with furnishing our rental property by providing a list of recommended items (e.g. mattress, fridge, washing machine, etc) that we can purchase in advance. They can arrange to collect these items on our behalf before our arrival.

Overall, we’re very glad we chose to work with Rental Search Australia. Our relocation manager has been amazing and the inspections and detailed reports they provided were very helpful. We highly recommend their services

Hello, nakapagBM na po ba kayo at nakatira sa accommodation na galing sa Rental Search Australia? Legit po ba?

Hi. NakapagBM na po last June.
And yes po, we’re currently living po sa accommodation that we got through the help of Rental Search.

kamusta po ang job hunting?

Okay naman po. Nakahanap naman po kami kagad ng job na same sa ginagawa namin sa PH.

As for timeline, my husband got a job within 2 weeks since he had his first round of interview nung nasa PH pa lang. I got a job po within a month.

wow naman. Pwede po ba malaman ano po ang diskarte ng husband nyo kung pano nakapag apply habang nasa pinas pa? like ano ang first step nyo at saang job seeking sites kayo nag apply ?

I'm still currently in the Philippines. Nasa last stage na ako ng interviews and may isa na waiting na lang din ako ng job offer. I used LinkedIN and Seek.com.au for jobs. Usually naman ngayon pumapayag naman ng virtual interviews lang. Eto ngang huli gusto na on-site ako. Sinabi ko na nasa Pinas pa ako and if pwedeng virtual muna. Pumayag naman sila

May I ask po anong work nyo mag asawa?

I am an engineer here. Ung last work ko is aligning to automation engineering. My wife is a chemist pero di pa siya actively looking.
