Do I still have my 175
Hi All,
Been a while since I posted on here, but this forum was invaluable to me while I was going through my Australian immigration request back in the day, so here goes. I was granted a 175 (skilled migration visa) in approx. 2009. At the time I was on a sponsored via (475 I think it was called). Low and behold a year after I got the 175 visa I realised that Australia really wasn't for me and I wanted to return to the U.K. I left in 2010 and I've never returned and have zero intention of ever going back, even for a holiday (those flights are too long). So put simply, do I still have a 175? Am I still a permanent resident? I'm really looking at all this to try and reclaim my superannuation back into a uk pension pot in order to consolidate it all. I'm obviously informed this is not possible if I'm deemed as a PR. Anyone who can advise ? cheers |

Re: Do I still have my 175
Thanks for the reply. So how does becoming a 'former permanent resident' change my situation? Can I get my Super Ann back now ?

Re: Do I still have my 175
IT doesn't. There is no way of getting it back until you meet the age of claiming it |
Re: Do I still have my 175
This is kind of what I was dreading to hear, however not unexpected either. Current age to claim is 55?

Re: Do I still have my 175
May I please add another question pertaining to the same subject. If a person who was granted 175 in 2009 and then arrived in Australia to stamp the PR before the due date and then returned to his / her original country and never came back to Australia is there a way to regain that PR? |
Re: Do I still have my 175
After that amount of time, it would be very unlikely that you would be able to evidence that you had substantial ties to Australia which were of benefit to Australia. You would also need to show compelling reasons for your long absence. If you thought you had a case, there is nothing to stop you trying. |
