@Bobby *******

@Bobby *******

So that was my confusion. I thought I read online that I needed proof of funds for the last 2-3 months. Not sure why my visa agent was telling me I needed a years worth. So I only need to obtain statements for a maximum of 6 months correct?

yes

@Bobby *******

Ah sorry I am on a retirement visa

@Adrien *********

@Raquel *******

I had a neighbor leave this year. Lived here several years on an education Visa. Took language lessons.

I know young people here that work online as teachers editors programmers and such. They arrive and obtain a 1 year Visa for education or volunteer or others. They live here for years. There is a huge industry here with agents providing assistance in this regard. That said, there are many ways and I personally know people that have lived here for decades under 50 years old.
