This looks like a great forum to seek answers and knowledge... thanks.
I am 65 male and just 7 months into my aged pension and loving it. I have met a wonderful woman about the same age in Manila Philippines and am having a few problems with Visas and stuff as is the normal thing there it seems, and so found this forum when searching answers on google. I got a feeling I will be spending a fair bit of my afternoons here over the next few years. For now though, I am looking still to get my woman here in Oz asap, but as it looks like taking 2-3 years I am keen to spend as much time in the Philippines as I can.
Many thanks to the one who made this forum possible.... Mike

Welcome to the forum Mike. Yes, the spouse visa seems to have gone from one extreme to the other over the last few years. We have a few members here who chose to bring their families to Australia when previous governments blocked them living overseas so there is some experience here in that field. We also have a member who has a visa business based in Chiang Mai Thailand with a free forum, it's all about Australian visas so I suppose the logistics are the same. you realise you can get full portability of the Age Pension if you want to split your time between Australia and the Philippines? www.australianvisaforum.com/

That's interesting mate. Somewhat similar to my situation, but not exactly.
Our site owner requires a separate topic, after intro, so hope you will put some up.
