another question for those whose universities/schools require trousers as uniforms, can you guys give me an idea where I can buy them?

P.S. i hope you guys wont think i'm too lazy to do my own shopping/research, its just that I am not in the Phil's right now, and everything is so much more expensive here. Spent almost 30k just for the medical exams, so i'm hoping to cut down on unnecessary costs. Thanks!

Trousers I believe are just your regular pants. Ask your school if they have any prescribed type of fabric and colour. As for a bank account, I am not sure, you would most certainly need a TFN as your account would be heavily taxed without one. I remwmber that Westpac asked me for my visa although for short term stay, I would not know if there would be issues. Best use traveller's money or an ATM with Matercard or Visa on it.

@Thel. I believe so. Try and see which clinics are affiliated with vfs in saudi Arabia.

@om'sarah: so happy for you ma'am. It's been a long time coming.

@Joe: my doctor (an ID), cleared me on the basis of negative AFB + negayive xray. If you were inquiring about Quanteferon Gold Test, Hi-precision diagnostics offer it for 5k php.

Yes... it is required to do the medical for subclass 600 Business Stream. I have worked in Saudi Arabia as well. I would suggest that it is much better if you will submit personally your documents here in VFS Manila.

Do we apply for school first or Visa first?
