excitedbutterrified Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Hi, My wife lived in australia for several years up until 2007, and has a super pot of around 15k. on leaving she failed to reclaim any of it (stupidly) Now we are moving back to oz on a 457 for which we have an application pending. We could really do with that cash now that all the relocation costs are starting to bite. Can she still reclaim this given we don't actually have a visa yet? The application went in on monday this week, so we could expect approval any time. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickyNook Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 What visa did your wife have when she was here before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srh82 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 If she could get the money back it would be less tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickyNook Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 She was on a 422 visa. Thanks That was a temp visa? If so, then there's nothing to stop her claiming the money now. But as srh82 says - she'll probably lose 38% of the total in tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozmaniac Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I've moved your post over to Migration Issues because your situation changes if the 457 is granted before you make the DASP claim. Super can only be refunded when your temporary visa has expired or has been cancelled and you have left Australia. If you get the claim in before the 457 is granted, you may still be OK but the first thing they do is check your current immigration status and they may not do that as soon as you apply. If the 457 has been granted when they check, I think you'll have a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
