Hi,
I left Australia after my Working Holiday Visa ended last year. I see that I have some money in a super. It has been 6 months since I left and my visa expired. I havent touched this Super or added to it. There is over $5k in there.
1) Why hasn't it been transferred to be ATO-held yet? I read that this is supposed to happen after 6 months?
2) If it becomes ATO-held, and I apply to withdraw that money (early access), then will I need to provide certified copies of my passport? With the current super account, because the amount if over $5k, if I want to apply to withdraw the money, this certification is a requirement. It's a big hassle for me, which is why I'm hoping that the same requirement doesn't apply if that money is ATO-held.
My current plan is to wait for it to become ATO-held and then withdraw it.
-Best wishes
