    Could you highlight the 'Non-O' mentions in your quoted texts for me.

    I appear to be too old to find them (probably a senior moment on my part).

    After re reading it is seems to be about the 'Non-O'

    That was EG approved from Vietnam  with the 90 day leave the country

    Maybe they are clamping down on these Visa

    Maybe some else could clarify

    94.639% of the time when the website is reported not working the input is being done incorrectly.  Bloomberg Surveys 2020.

    I use the same information

    But the website URL was not working

    I was talking about the web site not the reporting as per my first post

     It seems a little odd that the bank apparently admit the loan was fraudulent, but took every satang she had legitimately in her account anyway. Good luck to her in getting it sorted out. Thai banks are not renowned for speed or openness in resolving such matters.

    I dont think they will like the bad publisity

    Now it has been circulated in the media

    I doubt very much if C'link has access to overseas bank accounts.

     

    You will be amazed at what Govt departments can acess

    Even from overseas

     

    Plus if the Government want to give you a payment

    It is there business to find out

    These are the rules

    If people do not like them that is there perogative

    We all have to abide by the rules

    Otherwise payments for people who have money that they do not need

    Or are trying to rort the system

    We can not  say we are entitled to a payment now

    The rules have changed no 5% to the pension fund

    many tax reduction

    If we get a payment consider it we did the right thing

    IMHO

    I have just been through the process, expecting a decision tomorrow. 4 points:

     

    Don't go to a CL office expecting assistance from an actual person. They will point you to a computer, so you might just as well do it at home.

     

    They will ask for for travel dates going back many years, dates you probably don't have, but they can access through immigration, or that you have previously supplied. Don't sweat it, just put approximations and they will correct.

     

    An off-shore bank a/c is a complication you really don't want. Better to close it before applying, if possible. KISS principle applies.

     

    You will need to present plenty of ID. A current passport is not enough, add driver's licence and credit card.

     

     

    They will also need a address and possibility Utility bill if available

    They will need to know that you are actual living in a actual address

    They also will need to see that you have closed a overseas bank account

    It will not be easy but as stated use KISS principle

    I think the only way to get answers to your questions is to ring Centrelink on their international number and have a talk with someone. Normally to qualify you would have to either have lived in Australia for 2 years prior to becoming eligible or return at 65 (or whatever age you qualify) and spend 2 years in Oz to meet the conditions to make the pension portable. I don't know if Centrelink makes exceptions to that rule in special circumstances, but why have you waited until turning 73 to do anything about it?

    He would have to prove when in OZ that he has a residential address 

    Bank account utilities bill

    This is normal after being out of the country for so long

    Can prove that has closed all accounts in Thailand

    They are getting more strict now

    Good advise to ring Clink Int to see what they say

    Can you give some examples of where the rich have their money hidden away to enable them to receive the OAP?

    This thread is about the OAP. My last post was entirely related to the OAP.

    Well i do not believe everything i read in Australian Newspapers

    Fpr the obvious resons

    Its just propergander

    The only thing i believe is if it had been passed by the Government

    Or is on the Government Website

    IMHO

    Below letter today to the editor of The Sydney Telegraph, mentions among things, that the degree of OAP entitlement (for AU residents) is equivalent to having $A1.3M invested:

     

    ———————————

     

     

    WELFARE IS THE WAY TO GO!

     

    Bill Shorten’s proposal to stop franking dividend rebates is simply another nail in the coffin for selffunded retirees.

     

    Mr Shorten and his mates have the imagination of a razor blade but he is no dope. Come the next election, he knows the majority of voters will simply vote for the party that hands out the most money and they won’t care where it comes from, whether borrowed, or from more tax paid by our grandkids or from the so-called rich self-funded retirees.

     

    This is more of an attack on people who don’t want welfare, have imagination and drive and simply don’t want their grandkids to pay more tax to support them in their old age.

     

    The whole purpose of super was to encourage people to move away from dependency and be more responsible.

     

    Now we find that it is simply more financially prudent for most retirees to spend their money and access the pension as soon as possible so they can access entitlements.

     

    You need $1.3 million invested to get the same degree of entitlement and security as the full pension.

     

    If you fund yourself, apart from the risk and effort of investment, you get slugged extra for rego, rates, insurance, medical — the list goes on and on. Plus if you have anything left when you go into a retirement home, it will cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars, while for a person on the full pension, it is free.

     

    Mr Shorten wants an Australia full of drones. He is terrified of people who have imagination, incentive, who want to get ahead and simply do the right thing.

     

    Saying it will only affect rich retirees is rubbish.

     

    It will affect the attitude and finances of every Australian, young or old. The result will be more people on welfare.

     

    ———————————-

     

     

     

    This is probably another LNP propergander storey

    If you had read many articles about the wealthy you would know that the rich get more social secrity payment

    Than most people because they have there money hidden away so they look poor

    Plus

    another post of useless information

    As the moderator said the other day

    Keep on track obviously many do  not

    Untill what ever or whoever says anything

    We just have to wait till it happens

    2 pension increases per year

    Thats all i think about till something else happens

    I thought this Forum was about Old Age Pensions

     

    It seems to have gone off the rails

    Talking about everything else

    Most of us know about renting, buying, dogs, and neighbors

    We dont need to be reminded about all these

    Is there ant more information about changes

    This month The Pensions go up with the normal increase

    As well as in September

    That is you are eligible and get the OAP

    No, seriously. I just don't understand why you are talking about your landlord in Australia, teenagers doing donuts, and people getting stabbed etc. I'm sure if you have a serious question pertaining to Aussie pensions someone will be happy to respond.

    Some people haven nothing else o do but complain about anything

    Just like the last few days about

    I can not believe the amount on posts about nothing to do with OAP

    I have better things to do that to read the dribble

    The Government with family law courts and then the Maintenance for children

    What has this got to with OAP Nothing

    Then people saying the Working Life Residence  from DOB

    I dont know how many times this has had to be repeated it is from 16 years of age

    Im thinking of stop watching the one I have my OAP granted within the rules
