Hi Folks

I am Australian wife is Thai

Marriage registered in both countries

Wife has never lived in Australia

Is she entitled to widow's pension on my death any input would be appreciated

Australian citizen, when applying for DTV, can funds be in bank and superannuation account. My super is readily available and can be accessed online with payment in 3 days. Thanks

EDIT: I have emailed the Embassy in Canberra to ask the question, will let you know response.

Hi, just a question for any Australian age pensioners, I am about to apply for a pension and then come to Thailand permanently but on the centrelink website there is a suggestion that I have to stay in Australia for 2 years before I can take my pension to Thailand, I have lived and worked in Australia for 42years, any advice please?

Hi guys and gals. Hope you are all well.

I use the combined method of income and small balance in Thai bank for my retirement visa. Around 750k per year income and a floating 100k per year in Krungthai. My income is from my Superannuation fund.

My question is.

Does the approval go on the previous 12 months financial history ? Or is it based on what you present as funds from home for the next 12 months ?

Reason being for my question is …. I have enough in my Super to get me through to December… at which time my Australian pension will kick in. But I am unable to substantiate the forthcoming Australian pension with a document saying so.

I’m guessing that the answer will be … may vary to the scrutiny of which officer or office.

Just preparing for renewal next Thursday 21st April.
