    I'm almost sure that vitamins are a NO. Over the counter meds like Paracetamol, I think you can bring a few. Other meds you'll need a prescription. I never bring items with milk like 'polvoron' or ice cream - you can buy them at Manila airport but can't be taken in anywhere in Australia. Should not bring items made from plants like bracelets made of seeds, etc. They will not open your laptop. They will ask you to take them out of your bag before it goes through the X-ray though. Make sure to be honest with your customs declaration. If not sure tick yes, so you won't get in trouble when you get to customs.
    Thanks. I guess I wont bring my fern-C anymore.
    Is it free to declare? I mean do we need to pay for something in each item we declare. Sorry, im such a noob. )

    For the laptop, I am not sure if my microsoft office is legit or not. hehe. Is that ok?

    Every passenger arriving in Australia is required to complete a customs declaration. Review this form.http://customs.gov.au/webdata/resour...110_sample.pdf

    They will only touch your laptop if it looks like you have hidden something in it, they will know this because everything, luggage, handluggage goes past sniffer/drug dogs, either in the airport terminal or out in the baggage area.
    The dogs pick up food and drugs.(illegal)

    They could not care less if your windows microsoft or any program is pirated.

    Hi, Guys. Is it acceptable or what is the possibility for me to be granted a student visa if in case Ill enroll in Einstein College for English Occupational Preparational Course? I am having a hard time meeting the rate for writing subtest via Ielts. Would this be okay? After the course and OET exam I plan to enroll in a bridging course. Please help me with this. I badly need your assistance guys.
    Anybody, who can give me sound advice about my plan? Experts, i need your help! Thanks!

    Attention ceridwyn: help please. What do you think about me taking the OET prep course via Einstein College then sit for the exam and hopefully pass it and after satisfying the Aphra requirement do the Bridging Program. Is it okay? Please please help!

    Poor plan. Read entries from 2011 on this thread. IELTS or OET is just one of the requirements.
