Claiming age pension overseas
I lived and worked in Australia for 27 years. I will have lived in Thailand for 10 years when I am eligible for age pension. Do I have to return to live for two years in Australia
( not affordable) or just return to lodge paperwork? How long should I plan for this to take?

Rules for living overseas and getting the pension have changed recently so you will need to check the centrelink site.
I think you also have to live here for so long without going out of Australia for a set time to be eligible. Think it's 2 years.
Best to check with Centrelink.
