对于父母143类签证,centrelink上规定要居住十年才可申请养老金,如下:
To qualify for an Age Pension, you must also have lived in Australia as an Australian resident for:
• 10 years continuously, or
• at least 5 years continuously at any time and more than 10 years in total, or
• 2 years immediately before claim, if you are a woman who was widowed while both you and your partner were Australian residents.
有两个疑问:
1、第一条,怎么定义10年的continuously?是否如网上说的只要一年内不出境超过3个月,即可算continuous住了1年?
2、第二条,有关于5年连续居住的要求,而且是at any time。请问这个 5 years continuously at any time 是什么意思?是说5年以内一次都不能出境吗?
