Wayne 83 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Hello I have been living back in the UK for 7 years. I wanted to claim my super back from Australia. When I spoke to the people in control of my super years ago I was informed that if I cancelled my permanent visa I could then claim it back. The travel conditions of my skilled 175 visa have now expired and I'm not sure if my visa is now useless anyway. Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you.

As I understand it PR is permanent, hence the name. I have never heard of an instance where an individual could cancel or revoke PR in order to recover their Super early. I suspect you will need to wait until you it reaches maturity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marisawright Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 @Wayne 83, write to the superannuation fund to let them know your UK address, if you haven't already. Also instruct them to cancel all insurances, because chances are you're not covered by them anyway. That will reduce your fees. If you've got a decent amount in the fund, it would be worth checking that you're in a good fund, too. Unfortunately there's a lot of shonky funds, some of them run by large institutions such as banks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew from Vista Financial Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Hi I know it's been covered off but to add my comments being much the same in that I understand it only to be possible when a temporary visa has expired.
