Living in Phuket on an Australian disability pension by Lougav
Hello to all , I am looking for advice from any one who is living in Phuket and receiving an Australian DSP, on what requirements have to be met to enable them to live there whilst still receiving the dsp. I have been told so many different things ...

Good Luck. Read More

Age requirements for the Age Pension. To be eligible for the age pension, you must be 65 years or older, regardless of whether you're male or female. From 1 July 2017, the qualifying age will increase to 65 years and six months. The qualify age ... Read More

Keep in mind that this involves a reassessment that could involve loss of the DSP if you fail to qualify under the legislative changes of 2012. I'd definitely discuss this with an Australian Doctor before making the claim. Read More

You need to see Centrelink about getting Indefinite Portability of the DSP, they have a few hoops for you to jump through first. If not you're only entitled to 4 weeks a year away paid but you can get up to another 13 weeks unpaid before you ... Read More


The Injustice of the Portability of the Australian Age Pension. by sceadugenga
The Injustice of the Portability of the Australian Age Pension. With the decision by many Australians to take early retirement or being affected by redundancy we find people moving overseas and living off savings or investments for their final ...

I never said they got anything from the Age Pension, i said that the TAXPAYER supports their system. Take a google search and see how much the government put into Self Managed super funds last year. Where does that come from? My point is that ... Read More


Safety in Thailand by Christine
Hi, We would like to talk about a sensitive but important topic: do you feel safe in Thailand? How would you define the level of safety in the country? Can you walk safely during the day and at night without any fear? Do you think there ...

I've lived 10 years in Thailand, traveled regularly here before that. I've stopped over in most of the major cities and some of the larger towns, even the deep south where I missed a bomb attack by hours. I've never had an accident, ... Read More

There's good internet around if you go with fibre optic cable. I have CAT, the lowest level 20mbs/3mbs usually $50 a month but I got a promotion price for half that. Read More


Where do you guys buy vegetables, stuff like kidney beans, Rice ,etc by asad100101
Any ideas if you are interested in buying such stuff and cooking things at home. Will be in BKK for 2 months. Thanks

I like to check out the larger local markets, these usually carry most common Asian veg plus the usual Western suspects like potatoes, onions and carrots. The big supermarkets like Tops and BigC are worth keeping an eye on for stuff like asparagus ... Read More


Where in the world? by Shan.D
The dream - in approximately nine years, sell our home, take the profits (under $50k) and leave Canada for somewhere else. While that may seem far away to some, I like to plan ahead. We currently led a very simple life in Nova Scotia, nothing ...

You need to put a little money away each year and head off to the places that sound interesting as cheaply as possible. Look for budget airline fares well ahead of your travel date and stay in guest houses and backpacker hostels. This will give ... Read More

Australian Disability Support Pension Overseas by sceadugenga
Hi everyone. IÂ’m the administrator of a new message board set up for the sole purpose of advising Australians living on the Disability Support Pension who spend time overseas. Many of us have lived in Asia for years, most with wives and families, ...

The Age pension is fully portable and likely to remain that way. The residency requirement is that you have to be living in Australia when you apply, if you've been overseas then they will make you wait 2 years for portability. My advice would ... Read More

It always amazes me how people get these "great" apartments in places like Beach Road, Pattaya or Bangla Road, Patong Beach and then start screaming about the noise... :rolleyes: Read More
