@David *******

bullshit, I have been transferring every month for about 10 years . Cost me much less than wise. Maximum transfer $5000 per transaction .$1.99 per transaction maximum over that time. Wise fee $8.50 .

@Lee ******

not what it says on services Australia web site. Would be great if that is the case

@Lee ******

what is not right ?

@Kel *******

only partially correct. You need to have been on the pension for 2 years in Australia. After 2 years you can get the basic pension, sent overseas. You also , have to be in Australia when you apply for the pension.

@Damien *******

thankyou that is what I read

@Colin ********

read it on the social services Australia website. If you live overseas prior to pension eligibility , then you have to wait 2 years to get the pension. And have to be on the pension for 2 years , to receive it overseas. Unless I have misunderstood it. I will go to social services to direct and see if it can be clarified. It has changed my planning on moving to Thailand . I was planning to move next month for 2 years , go home , get the pension and live happily ever after😂😂I am 64 and was born in Australia.

@Greta ****

yes, but you have to be on the pension for 2 years before you can get it overseas. You also have to be in Australia for 2 years prior to recieving your first pension

@Greta ****

you still get the pension, just not the extra benefits for utilities etc

@Ling ****

older Thais won’t use anything else

@Phil *****

is there any hassle about transferring large amounts using wise? ie reporting to Government a foreign transaction over $10,000
