Hi, May I know how to extend visitor visa for Australia?

Any CPEng here? Got some enquiries for Aussie system.

CPEng here

Engineers Australia is the board managing CPEng? There is MRA between Engineers Australia with IEM. IEM member can become Engineers Australia member = MIAust = CPEng and vice versa MIAust also can be considered as PEng Malaysia through MIEM?

Yes but some conditions apply.

Thanks for the info. There is some MRA that give member status, and some give CPEng status. For those who get member status, still need to go through another process to apply CPEng (mean interview and exams)?

It's slightly confusing as the MRA with some institution covers membership only, and not the PE status.

If you are chartered in Malaysia under IEM, then yes the Chartered Membership can be transferred but subject to the conditions above including having a recognised qualification and with 7 years of experience with 2 years in charge of significant engineering work.

Alright, thanks mate, will try my application.

Don't think you can extend without leaving. Leave OZ and then go back. The ETA only allows you a 90 day stay. ETA is however valid for 1 year.

Yo mates, just obtained my visa (subclass 489) which sponsored by Tasmania on last week. Planning to move over next year after CNY. I will migrate together with my wife and 2 kids. The reserve fund that we are having now will enough for us to make the living for 1 year without income.

Understand that many peoples saying that it's not a good time to migrate to Australia at the moment but same goes to any other countries in the world now. Since the day my wife and I made the decision to migrate to Australia, we never ever back up even though many says that the economics downturn in Australia, bla bla bla. The point is we plan to move there for the sake of our future. Work life balance & education for kids, these are the major reasons of the migration plan.

Always ready for the worst situation and have the best preparation.

yes u can, provided u r here for genuine holiday or visiting family..
can do it online... but not necessary get approved...

Good luck!

Has your wife found a job ?

Yeap she did. Just a casual so far. better than nothing

May I ask what's her qualifications ? Thanks.

She got ACCA working for 13 years

Thanks bro.

has the currency impacted you guys?

Even though RM is not doing well but AUD is not doing well either so the exchange rate remain unchanged since last year.
What i observe is only increased 10cent so far.
The biggest challenge so far in Malaysia is inflation. I went back last December realising the value of items i get in KL is far expensive for the same item i bought from Australia.
Starting from normal clothing to food. I won't compare dairy products coz Oz is damn cheap.
I'm comparing clothing, shoes, gadgets, groceries & coffee...
I found that normal T-shirt in Jusco is selling RM35 = AUD12. Serious?? I bought here only $5 with nice printing design. $12 i can get some nice quality clothing from Target.
Nike/adidas....or whatever can get @ $30/pair. KL i think minimum RM200?

I bring back AUD2500 for 2 weeks spending and guess what, nothing left. I'm not big spender, just like normal spending. What scares me i bought milk powder and dypers for my boy and i already pay out RM150 from pocket.
That's last year before GST. I wonder how a normal family income gonna survive thru.

I felt the pinch since 2011 and foreseen this would happen and quickly apply for PR and get a job here so that family won't suffer.

I even manage to pay off my mum's operation cost. No way i could afford to pay if i'm still in MAS.

It's really sad and distressing seeing MAS heading this way. Really need to get Najib administration butt kicking

more and more singaporean will fly over coz the currency parity.
