Thanks for the reply, even if the role is the same but different employer?

hi..i have done about 3 years on 457 and was starting applicatin process to get pr, but I now will change employer......so nstill in same occupation...will i have to redo the two or three years before i apply for pr?

You can open your own self managed super account, transfer then take out but you would liable for penalties but if you aint going back? who cares?

hey farrukh, they took three years to appeal a 457 application that was refused back in 2009 september. i would hang in there, no point stressing. good luck tho and i am a pommy white english london born and they didnt do it quicker for me. haha

I am setting up my own self managed superfund, the bank says I can have a savings account linked and can uses this to transfer money between accounts. I was just going to set it up to play the stock market for the last year I am here in Oz and hopefully increasing the value before I leave. Its only 20 grand, which after gov tax and charges will be about $13000 or 7k+ ukpound. But the lady at the bank reckons that I will have access to the funds in the SMSF via the joint savings account. So could this be the way to withdraw my super before I leave the country avoiding the 37% tax clawback when you quit Australia. Anyone have any experience of this?
