Ok. That’s what I thought, that’s why I applied 2 weeks prior, reading that people were getting theirs pretty quickly. So theirs really no downside to it possibly coming in after I’m on the exemption? Would it supersede, or I would still have to go to immigration within 60 days of original arrival date? Thanks. And I retract the retraction.😅

That would be nice, just wish they could let you know. I read that people were getting theirs in 4 days and one person even said next day. I wasn’t sure if the clock started when they issued it or when you got the stamp at immigration, so I did 2 weeks prior. 🤞

Just checked my email and nothing since the confirmation email receipt from them. Yes, All documents submitted. Is the ‘pending document check’ in the pic for them, or does that mean they are waiting on me to check for something? I didn’t see anything that would require my attention.

You’ve always had good advice as well Stuart. Can you expand on the ‘clock ticking down’ part? Does that mean it lasts 60 days from issue or once I start using it? And I can activate it if I’m on a 60 day exemption. And basically the difference between them is with the Visa, I can try to get a bank account, most likely using an agent? Thanks.

I guess I have to retract what I said about Brandon…all I got out of him was ‘just woke up”. 🤷🏻‍♂️😄

I think after a year of confirmed pension deposits, you can use that instead of keeping the 800k in the account. I think you can finagle the amount through out the year but it has to be that amount 2 months prior to renewal and 3 months after, or vice versa. Brandon can answer that better though.

The 800k is the easy part, finding a bank to put in though…

@Dennis ********
Ouch. $1000??? I’m almost done with the application. It wasn’t too bad. 🤞 Hope it goes through…

ok, this one…bypassing the O-X AND O-A. And I actually do receive a pension, but that does me no good until after a year of proof of deposits correct?
