QUOTE(onelove89 @ Feb 5 2010, 09:42 PM) mm, think it depends on what bank is more accessible in your area. More common banks are like ANZ and Commonwealth. Where are you heading =) I'm on ANZ btw, and sticking to it ever since. =P Uni of Adelaide... gosh.. actually i really don't know much about banking service since i have no one to refer.. really really hope someone can guide me here.. so.. do i need to do my debit card here in m'sia or in aussie..

thx everyone for your reply it does help me a lot another thing, I read from http://www.studyadelaide.com/content.aspx?p=83QUOTE If you are a full-time international student and are studying in Australia for more than three months, you automatically receive a work visa when you apply for your Australian student visa. is this information still valid? does this mean we'll get a new visa after 3 months?
