Hi Living the Dream,
I'm on a 457 here from the UK. We have a reciprocal Medicare card, which I understand satisfies our visa requirements, so many of the visitors insurances on offer seem pointless as they just match the benefits we already get with Medicare. In addition, these insurances don't seem to be eligible for the 30% rebate or to provide any protection from the Medicare Levy Surcharge.
The answer I can't seem to get from anyone is whether we can take out a basic residents policy just to avoid the MSL? - I know that we would not be able to claim on it. Do you know the answer to this?
Any help appreciated!
