Re: New here with some questions..

Just a thought. If you only have indefinite leave to remain and not UK citizenship then that can expire if you are living abroad. This could mean another visa to return to the UK in the future....

Re: Shipping a container to Oz,

Re: Italian medical student, willing to work in Australia.

Re: UK Private Pension

Yes but to be eligible for SAPTO you have to be eligible for other Centrelink payments like age pension. You don’t just get it because of age. I’m unlikely to qualify for age pension or benefits so...
