Simple price gouging

You've already visited Thailand a couple of times hopefully

@Steve ******

it's a non-immgrant O visa for which you can get a retirement EXTENSION, after being a few months on the non-immi O.

I'm a tech dinosaur myself,but had no problem with an online non-immi O application in Australia in March this year

@Dale **********

ain't that the truth

@Mick ******

bring an IDP from Australia and present it with your AU state license as required

A bit more complicated than that

@David *******

I worked and paid taxes for almost 50 years. For the last 8 years I spent 6 months of every year, except the Chinese Virus ones, in Thailand.

I advise Centrelink of my away dates and invariably lose the aged pension supplement and pharmacy allowance after a month or three. I don't recall exactly.

I keep a residence and my Oz bank accounts going.

Reportedly I'm 'grandfathered' under older Centrelink rules and aren't penalized when I leave Australia for a lengthy period every year. I seem to have fallen into a 'sweet spot' with big brother Centrelink, and have never lost the basic pension🙏

@Durrant *******

as it very often does
