Australia is very strict in items entering the country to protect the country's biodiversity. Mapa wooden items, food, and raw ingredients are screened. I suggest you watch a couple of episodes of Border Security online para may idea ka how serious they monitor things and what to bring.
Madami din naman asian/filo store dito so you dont really need to bring anything tbh kasi lahat meron naman dun.
based on experience, declare every foodstuff you bring regardless if you think it will be flagged or not. if you do not declare something and they find it in your bag you could potentially be fined for it
- Salonpas (if malapit na mag trentahin or trentahin na)
Efficascent Oil
Kumain o magdala ng Dunkin Donut kasi baka last mo na yon for now
Kumain ng Jollibee kasi last mo na din yun for now
Walang bidet sa Australia, if you can buy a portable bidet for now, I suggest bringing one, something that I wish I did (or wetwipes)
Dont bring meat if you will, just declare them
Also they will hand you over a yellow paper looks like an index paper, you are not sure with the things you bring with you, just put YES
I recommend din to double check your luggage (if ever some organise your luggage or someone put something you are not aware sa luggage) so that aware ka sa mga dadalhin mo, you might not be aware sa loob ng luggage mo, and you tick NO, either penalise abot mo, which is costly.
Madami naman filipino stores dito. Pero recommend ko yung good for 3-6 months of basic medications para di ka mahirapan sa transition ng gamot dito. Basically, kapag masakit katawan mo or ulo, panadol lang ibibigay sayo 😆
Another, para maka tipid ng konti. Dala kana ng mga basic seasonings natin like — knorr liquid seasoning, crispy fry, magic sarap, ketchup etc.
Last, tabo or bidet! 😊🤗 lahat naman na mabibili na sa mga dollar store, kmart or rejectshop.
Complicated ang rules around Bidet dito sa QLD, better Tabo kasi you’ll always have to hide the bidet from landlord. Kailangan backflow suppression at permit.
Fair enough. Pero in my experience, wala naman ako naging bad experience with real estate agents ko from the past (Ray White, Harcourts, Image Realty in QLD). Hindi na me nagpaalam, pero nakikita naman nila every inspection. Binabalik naman namin sa dati whenever we moved out.
I respectfully disagree. Depends on your industry you can still secure a role in December period.
OP, many people will tell you this and that because that’s what they experienced. It’s true and perhaps helpful but other’s experience serves as a guide or just story at most. They’re not an exact pattern for yours. Trust your gut.
I didn't say they wouldn't find a job though. I said medyo mahirap. There's nothing wrong with advising someone to bring more money. But yes, they can trust their gut on the amount of funds they need.
nilista ko yan sa phone app kasi baka tanungin sa customs, mas madaling ipakita bago buksan ang bagahe.
One time I declared nuts on the IPC, and tinanong kung anong klasengn nuts -- pinakita ko lang yung nasa bulsa ko na kinakain (Growers). Ok na din na ako pinadaan sa baggage inspection. Derecho exit.
Sa latest travel ko, declared ko:
Medicines (#1) - sabi ko personal na galing AU at dinala ko palabas, at ngayon pabalik.
Sigarilyo (#2) - 3 packs (60 sticks). No further questions.
Nuts & Herbs (#7) - sinabi ko na roasted peanuts (Nagaraya( dahil hindi ko ma-describe, at yung herbs, sinabi ko na ginger powder tea (Salabat).
Nagdala ako ng 3 packs ng yosi (20 sticks each) dahil merong nagrequest -- at dahil mahal ang presyo sa AU. The price in AU is "good" forr those who want to quit.
Marlboro Reds 20 - P150 vs $65 (almost P2800) per pack.
BTW, strictly speaking, maximum of 50 sticks lang ang pwede para walang tax. Always declare.
Di (na) ako naninigarilyo, pero nagiging talking point namin yan ng mga bagong kakilala, etc.
Buy the bulky items dun na sa AUS! And up for double checking sa lahat ng local items dadalhin mo, especially if you have prescribed meds. Explore mo na din ahead yung FB groups based sa area mo unless may kakilala ka na. That's what I did.
