    Super Refund vs. Permanent Visa

    in Financial Advice: Ask Vista

    Posted

    Hi there.

     

    I recently returned to the UK after living in Western Australia for 3.5 years. My husband is from Perth and we met in England, and then moved to Oz for a few years of sunshine and sea.

     

    I was on a temporary partner visa for most of my time, then just before we left, I was granted my permanent visa. I'm kicking myself for not staying to get my citizenship, but circumstances meant that I didn't want to stay any longer than I needed to.

     

    So, I was wondering if it would be worth forgoing my PR in order to get a refund of my Super, now that I am not residing in Australia? I understand that if you have a PR, you aren't eligible for a refund.

     

    But I think I am also right in thinking that my PR won't last longer than five years with me living in the UK now, in which case, perhaps it wouldn't make much of a difference if I was to give it up...

     

    Does anyone know the deal on how long the PR is valid for if you don't actually reside in Australia?

     

    Any info would be fab - and if I've posted in the wrong thread, let me know and I'll move it elsewhere.

     

    Many thanks for any advice.

    Pet Services from Perth to London?

    in Pets

    Posted

    Hi everyone.

     

    I'm current;y getting quotes to take my cat from Perth to London in Feb next year.

     

    I've received prices from JetPets and also the Pet Travel Specialists - I've heard of JetPets and can find out info and reviews for them, but I can't seem to find anything for the Pet Travel Specialists, who are based in Willeton in Perth.

     

    Their quote has come in a little cheaper than JetPets, and they also come out to your home to do the rabies vaccination, which I quite like.

     

    Apparently both recommended Thai Airways as their preferred choice for my cat's route, but as of next year, Thai Air will only be doing one flight out of Perth, so they are a no go. And Emirates / Qantas charge and extra $300 on top of the $2500 already quotes to hold my cat in Dubai for six hours transit, as that is their policy there.

     

    Singapore Air and Malaysian Air don't charge, but I'm not sure how good they are for transporting pets...

     

    So may worries and questions!
