Life abroad is not paradise.

hello! eye opener man ni ang inyong posts uy but I know you're all telling the truth. life is not a bed of roses man gyud. lisud man bisag asa ta mangita ug trabaho. attitude is the key otherwise you sink and may not recover. Im seriously contemplating on going to New Zealand to find work. According to my bosses...pwede daw ta mu adto didto as a tourist then just look for a job once were there. Facilitative man daw ang government and mas dali ma facilitate ang work permit once you're there na. Downside lang is you have to present proof that you can sustain yourself once you're there. I think they require NZ$1,000 for each month nga naa ka didto so if you stay 3 months that's NZ$3000 (around Php81,000) plus plane fare pa which is roughly USD1,000. Are the details im getting correct? Anyone who are in New Zealand who would like to share their thoughts? Willing jud ko muadto and my parents are supportive kay kabaw man sila mas lisud ang work diri plus ang added incentive sad diay sa New Zealand is your family can follow within a year's time. Excited na ko! Insights please anyone?

hi emem, is ur boss sure about that? nga pwde ra tourist ngita work didto? as far as i know, australia and new zealand are quite strict when it comes to hiring tourists. it's not like in the US nga pwde ra ma convert imo visa didto once you find work, mo hire lang ka lawyer didto to work on ur papers. pero sa australia and new zealand, lahi man didto and the government are not tolerating tourists looking for a job there. i visit australia as tourist from time to time then kasagaran nako na meet mga pinoy didto kay either ni migrate or they are under employment visa nga hired sila from pinas thru valid agencies.

Hello! Ambot lang jud tinupd ba na ilang gipanulti. I know both of them have been there sad and gi check man sad daw nila sa ilang friends who are there and ning confirm man daw. Bale kung tourist ka then naa ka didto and you apply for a job and you get accepted, you bring the documents na you got the job to the government office which processes work permits. If they see that you've been hired and have the documents to prove it, they will give you a work permit and you can work there legit. After a na if naka-ipon na ka and you have your own house and financially stable na ka, you can get your family na para makapuyo mo didto. That's what they said. Im still asking around pud bitaw kung tinuod kay if its true magpabaga jud kog naong nga mangutang sa akong parents for show money and plane fare basta sure lang nang ilang gipanulti. Thanks for your inputs!

i worked my arse for 12 years abroad. all i can say is ...nothing beats working in your place. if you have what i takes to be successful here in cebu then stay here. if not, by all means find a job abroad.
now i'm back and leaving in my dream house and driving my suv....it didn't come easy my friends...luha og singot gyud ang puhunan.
