agree..buying power in oz is definitely higher and better.. :-)

how does the property cost there? do you rent a room or own it>? my friend becomes PR when his father bought property in melbourne, she is so lucky, went monash univ with PR price, very cheap and she owns the property.
Heard car very cheap but rental costs high, 20-30% of salary.

there's no such thing that ur friend's parent become a PR after buying property there.. (i believe they did more like investor or business visa)

car is definately cheaper in Oz even after conversion..

house/rent depends where u buy/lease..if near to CBD, public transport or good school, it will be more expensive..

you can check out in RealEstate AU or Domain AU for houses

or CarSales AU

last time it will take up my one week salary for my monthly rent..so its about 25% of my salary..

Where should I start on getting a migrant visa?

Immi Au read and find out you qualify or not..

Sad... I don't think I'm qualify for anything

how do you manage a job there? interview? the cost too much expensive, one way air asia to there almost 1K RM. not worth if cannot manage a job there

i hope you are not referring to 'jump aeroplane' = working illegally there without appropriate visa :-)

i wish i can get that "almost RM1k" price to back malaysia for next year CNY.
cant find any better deal for now :/

now you cant get rm1k deal..if you buy during MAS/AA promo months ago..

the ticket will cost about RM1.6k via MAS...

yeah, not like earlier this year when i went back malaysia for just $120 including baggage and meal.

I wonder if there is some sort of forum or web board for malaysians living in Australia specifically? something similair to the Natui website (google) for thais residing in oz.

Please don't do that i.e. "jump aeroplane".
1. Its nearly impossible (or just down right impossible) for you to get a legal job there without PR/work permit.
2. Once caught, you will be rounded and thrown into camps for illegals to be deported to Malaysia. (Just like how M'sia round illegal bangla, myanmar, etc and deport them)
3. Your passport will kena chop mati for 5 years. That means in 5 years you cannot visit any country.
4. More likely, after the 5 years, you will be rejected by many countries since you have a record of overstaying.
5. You will cause Malaysia to be blacklisted for overstaying, thus Aus will have tougher immigrations checks for the rest of the Malaysian

P.S. You can say you don't care about point no.4. But if i or any Malaysian catch you working in Aus with no PR or permit, we will NOT HESITATE TO COMPLAIN TO THE AUTHORITIES to get you deported. Don't "cause harm to your neighbours" coz we still want to go to Australia.

actually there is a forum for Malaysian in Australia....

GMN

but now many of us 'chatting' over in FB already..

There so many hidden way that can help you for the passport issue. Its just the matter of the money.


I have a very close friend that go to Perth, working illegally for 4 years, return back to Malaysia without hassle and change the passport and names.

Now she at England, just landed past 3 months. Working as cashier for Fish and chips restaurants.


Some extra website that could help those in Perth
AUPeople

^ worst still, involve in frauding passport. If get caught confirm jail at least 10 years. FYI its a federal offence and is considered to be a heavy crime for frauding documentations just like credit crad fraud. I find out who yr friend is, i sure report your friend. BTW there a bounty involved too if i manage to smash your friends syndicate.

wah that site looks old lol is there any other alternative? ben searching for afew days now and cant find anything. its abit hard when you dont know what terms to put into google for this sorta thing!!!:P

that forum is very useful..most of the information are there..based on real experiences of Msians going/residing in Australia now..
but we recently migrated to FB group and share information there instead..

what you need to know ??
