OK, thanks guys.

Does anyone have the contact details of a 'professional' expert in Australia for Centrelink procedures, in particular International Social Security agreements. I will eventually contact Centrelink, but need to know the right questions to ask. This is not Thailand specific, apologies. Thanks

Apart from the official line, any hearsay stories of being treated differently by Australian authorities because you are non tax resident? A great summary, thanks for putting it together. I'm not in Thailand, but came here because its a very active forum with lots of knowledge and opinion! While local regulations may differ the general approach is the same.. Most of us try to do the right thing for our home country and the country we are staying in while we navigate the different rules to get the optimum result for ourselves. We all know that its a fine balancing act that is getting harder. Not sure what motivates the authorities to action (pending tax legislation), and I am sure the topic "... is it better to have these grey nomads confined to Australia or lying on a beach somewhere else" has been well discussed before so will not branch off here, just curious what is in a Politician/Administrators mind.;) Thanks to all, .

Thanks for the advice guys.

Good day, I have seen some healthy and informative discussion on the financial issues of being non tax resident of Australia. Are there any other issues to be aware of that are not related to tax/income IE Health, immigration, partner visas etc? Thanks, Casey
