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 afterπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚I am 64 and was born in Australia.

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

it is very quick when you are at immigration. It took me less than 5 minutes but 30 minutes to get from the plane to immigration via walking and train. It depends on where the plane lands
