Colin all that you say is correct but all Australians can also have Aus $545,000 of assets in super as or any asset they like if single and still get the AAP. I think it's all about as good as can be gotten. Not so good for those who never save a penny.

@Damien *******

If you have 35 years residency in Australia and apply for portability at 67 y/o when you apply you will already have done your 2 years for portability as part of your 35 years of residency. It is 2 years before or after getting the AAP. That is why most long-term residence people get portability straight away.

Perhaps you should visit a Visa agent in Thailand or borrow the Bt 800,000. Yes their are ways .

@Billy ******

That is often the case with having the AAP, that is because it is under the tax-free threshold for seniors ($35,000 threshold you pay no tax for anyone over 67 y/o). Some people have to pay tax if their income is over the tax-free threshold in Australia if that includes the Aged Pension..

Hua Hin is likely to have
