Can I Claim My Superannuation When I Leave Australia? You can have your superannuation paid to you after you leave Australia if you: have departed Australia. are not an Australian or New Zealand citizen, or permanent resident of Australia. entered the country on a temporary visa (except Subclass 405 or Subclass 410)
What happens to my superannuation if I leave Australia? If you’re an Australian permanent resident or citizen heading overseas, your super remains subject to the same rules, even if you are leaving Australia permanently. This means your super must remain in your super fund/s until you reach preservation age and are eligible to access it.
How long after leaving Australia can you claim superannuation? If you don’t claim your super within six months of departing Australia, your account balance may be closed and your balance paid to the ATO as unclaimed super. You can still apply for your super from the ATO (unless you have become an Australian or New Zealand citizen, or a permanent resident of Australia).
