Thank you so much LizzyTinKnicks, well lot of them were saying on the forum that Bankwest atm card can be used everywhere without any fee. Looks like I have to go and ask them if they can give me some special account where I won't be charged any fees. ING doesnt sound that bad will do some research. Thanks again

Well since we are discussing about the benefits here on the forum I see no harm in asking a question which I know sounds stupid. Better be stupid then not asking anything and later finding it out that hey if i did some research or yabber jabber last time then i wouldn't be paying extra $5 to $ 10 per month, from which $2 can go to some random homeless kids education in some countries or the rest going back in your own pocket. I reckon charity begins at home but little sharing wont hurt.

YES BANKS are BUSINESS but they won't be unless we don't keep all our money in. Oh I'm not a banker but they make money from your money and when they go bankrupt they give you only some part of it not ALL OF WHAT YOU STORED IN IT.

If I owned a business i would never give it for free unless I own a BANK mate. Thank you for not answering the question, have a good one.

Of course mate who doesn't like it. Why would I want to pay extra if I can get it for free. Also everybody has to pay tax & I'm included as well but why pay the bank. If you know any who can do that please tell me. It will not only help me but so many of them who are moving here. Sorry if you work for any bank and I offended you but I want the best for me mate.

Thanks mate I likey likey the idea LOL. I'm confused between NAB & CBA. Thinking about Bankwest but hard to find a branch in melbourne. I reckon once I land i need to personally talk to these guys & then lets see what's best. Yah i'm still open to any info regarding the best ones, feel free to share with me.

Cheers

Bankwest they say doesnt charge any fees but let's say if i have to withdraw money from the bank ( not the ATM) and if i cant find the branch can i withdraw from CBA? Since it's under CBA

Thank you so much Pom Queen, well let's say if i go with NAB, & wanna withdraw from Commonwealth ATM is there a fee for that ? Since CBA is the most common in AUS and NAB doesnt charge monthly or ATM withdrawal fees? Am I right or wrong.

Hi folks,

I will be flying to Melbourne in few days, have read about A-Z banks on this forum. Can anyone please tell me which bank in Melbourne I should go for?

1. No Monthly Fees?

2. Can use ATM card in any banks wall without any fee?

3. Has good internet banking and teller without any fee?

Sorry but after reading here I wanna ask someone who can share some light on this.

Thank you

mate moving to Melb is not as stressful as moving from Pomland. You will just be fine, do you have contacts of those aussie people you met in bali? If u have then give them a ring. You can find rental properties on realestate.com.au or flatmates.com.au

CollegeGirl has provided the right info..... awesome i did the same for my form 80 as I didnt remember the dates.

You are right but it is up to CO is he/she thinks that it is necessary for them to make a call on your application. For me my CO asked for Form 80 and 1221 was recommended but I only filled for 80. Some people before getting their CO fill form 1221 and 80. Sometimes it is better to wait for CO.

Well now days they are asking everyone whether one is from High risk countries or not. Make sure you provide them all the correct information. If not sure about something and you think that you can't provide accurate answer then let your Case officer know.

Cheers.

The best way is to take your girlfriend with you to UK and you guys get married and then when you fill up your forms, don;t lie just tell them that you over stayed, because of your mrs. and you didn;t wanted to leave her, thats why you guys got married. I reckon this will solve your problem. Like others stated here that for temp visas you cant apply for permanent you can at any time. ( To make everything 100 % sure Please go to Immi expert as they will tell you how to start the process in a proper way, so that there are no loop holes in your story) Also be honest with your lawyer as he is the one you can count on.

Cheers.
