Indianinoz Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 We're landing in Sydney on a PR(189 visa) on 4th December. Before we land, I'd like to apply for the following from India itself: 1) Tax File No.(TFN) for me and my wife 2) Medicare card for me and my wife 3) Railway card(Is it called Opal?) for Sydney How can I do so?

Guest Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 You wait till you get to Aus and then apply. Its all easy enough to do when you arrive. TFN and Medicare are both things you have to do once here. A public transport card you just buy in a PO, newsagent or whichever local store sells them. Or at the station. And then top up when you need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You better open a bank account before you arrive so you could pick up the card once you land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not eligible for Medicare until you arrive so you should apply after arrival. You cannot get a TFN until you arrive. Do it online, takes a few minutes.
