NEW GUIDE TO SS LAW DSP PORTABILITY

[baranghope]

The Fed released this new guide today.

guidesacts.fahcsia.gov.au/guides_acts/ssg/ssguide-7/ssguide-7.1/ssguide-7.1.2/ssguide-7.1.2.20.html

Makes for interesting reading . . . in particular any of us can undertake a "approved" course of study overseas and sustain our DSP. I wonder if the Fed recognises any orchid growing courses in Thailand?

Actually the only loophole I see would work like this. You enrol in an open university to undertake a thesis based degree, an M.A. on the distribution of orchids in Myanmar say. The open university then approves you to link up with some institute (the orchid society) in Myanmar. Over you go. It might be a stretch, but that is my legal reading . . .of the Guide.

The guide is just that, it's rules they can change but you can't.
Good find anyway, I'll add it to the files.
You up for a coffee Friday?
Bedwin says he's flush with cash and will shout.
I may issue an open invitation in that case.......
