the 6 months is generally bought up because when you are living in Australia and receiving the pension you can apply to travel overseas for a holiday and continue receiving the pension for a maximum period of 6 months, when the 6 months is up you must be back in Australia or they will stop your pension payments until you return and reapply, consequently you frequently hear in conversations the phrase " but you can only leave the country for 6 months before they cut your pension off" this is true if you choose to reside in Australia in retirement, the general public are unaware that you can port your pension to another country and live there permanently 🙏😊

just had a quick look at your profile, I hope you don't mind, saw the fire show on the beach Feb 29, we have that at Smile restaurant every Friday and Saturday night from about 8:30, except it involves about 9 team members all in unison, I suspect that guy belongs to the troop, did the same moves.👍🙏😊

@Bob ******

nice to see your comments , not sure if I understand your comment correctly " you need to stay 6 months plus a little in Australia before your pension may be affected " you are possibly correct but just a heads up to add to that, I live in Kamala beach ( thanks for the plug) permanently on the Australian pension, I love it here, might see you sometime? 🙏😊

@Philip *********

yeah, good point Phil but I have done this before and although some people are well meaning I find you also get a lot of ill informed comments or comments from people who didn't pass English at school and can't comprehend the basic meaning/intension of the subject matter set out by the law/immigration officer and subsequently have their own interpretation and can't be convinced otherwise, does my head in trying to reprogram their minds, don't get me wrong because there is genuine people out there whom don't understand and they are easy to spot and help, eg one of the hardest things to get across is the fact that you can live in Thailand and receive the Australian pension without having to return to Australia ( every 6 weeks/ 6 months) people generally are grossly misinformed on this subject, I am retired and don't need the stress but I still want to help if I can🙏😊

Wise money transfer

@Kel *******

yes, I have messaged you

Hey mate, I retired here in November 2022, on the Australian pension, applied for and got the Non O retirement Visa, did it all myself, I live in Phuket and feel I have found a way to acclimatise that certainly suits me, pm me and I will video call you and fill you in on any pitfalls you might not have answers for.🙏😊

@Bart *************

they have not told him they would not check it through, he is assuming this because he has 2 separately bought tickets, but they are with the same airline so they will check his luggage through to Bangkok as long as he alerts them to his ongoing flight.

Yeah, don't panic it's with the same airline so just produce the 2nd ticket when booking in at Brisbane and they will check your luggage through to Bangkok 😊
