May i ask ive been told to receive Australian pension in thailand you must be in Australia for a 2 year period before hand ??

And if so shorely you can have holiday travel in that period to and from Thailand im on a Thai retirement visa

Thanks for any input 🙏🏻

How do Australians go about living overseas with Centrelink payments?

I keep hearing that lots of people do it, but the 2 times I asked c*ntlink, the told me we get cut off after 28 days

DSP or aged pension.

Is this correct?

Can I, as an Australian resident living here now, who has satisfied the Work Life rule, and lived here most my life, apply for the pension and move to Thailand, immediately, without the 2 year portability rule applying to me?

I understand the 2 year rule applies only to former residents?

Hi all,

I currently have a 1 year marriage visa based on having 400000 baht in the bank. This is due to expire in July. My question is I would like to extend based on having the 40000 baht monthly income. Is it enough to show this income by presenting an income statement from Australia Centrelink rather than Embassy. Some forms seem to indicate this is ok. I believe I am to late to show this income in my Thai bank account. Does anyone have first hand knowledge.

Just an Australian expat question, the Centrelink will pay my pension directly into my Bangkok bank account, do they(Centrelink) get good exchange rates or should I just transfer it myself through a private transfer system, Cheers for any answers.
