I thought you could get your super back if your PR visa had expired and you had left the country.

Not true. Migration myth, I'm afraid.

Unless (possibly) you had made the contribututions while on a temporary visa.

Ok. I know people that have done it though. Prehaps they just got back the super they had paid before getting PR.

Or they have transfered Aussie super to a Uk fund. Is that possible?
