Could be 70 by the time your due to get an aged pension.

Tks. That's what I'm looking to hear. It's confusing that's why I said just speak to centrelink.

Just rules and regulations. But in the end you get a pension while your out of the country. Even retire in another country if you like. And still have your govt pension

Have heard similar. But Once you are on an aged pension you can travel overseas for as long as you want. 1st 6 weeks no issues. Up to 26 weeks you lose utility benefits so it's base pension only. After 26 weeks its the 35 year continuous time tax payer to recieve full base pension. Anything under is on a sliding scale. Now the tricky bit. If you stay out of the country for over 6 weeks and return. I've heard you cannot leave the country within 2 years without risk of losing the pension full stop. Best to contact centrelink and discuss with them and get it in writing.

You can book a bus from Hat Yai to Padang Besar (Malaysia) for $12 from 12go. Good for a throw away ticket

Tks I was just thinking the same. So you have to actually go into another country. I was thinking just go out and turn around and just come back in.

@Andrea *********

It's only a throw away out going ticket in case asked

Can book a train from Hat Yai (Thailand) to Padang Besar (Malaysia) for around $4. with 12go

@Graham *****

Is that for the 60 day visa or 6 mth visa

@Graham *****

Every 60 days you must do a border bounce with a 6mth visa
