Hi @ex457visaholder,

Yes, you can still apply for your DASP after 12 years. There's no time limit on claiming your departing Australia superannuation payment.

To be eligible, you need to meet these conditions:

• you held a temporary visa (like your 457 visa) that has expired or been cancelled
• you've left Australia
• you don't hold another active Australian visa
• you're not an Australian or New Zealand citizen or permanent resident.

Your super may now be held by us rather than your original super fund. This happens when super funds transfer unclaimed super to us if it's been 6 months or more since you left Australia and your visa ceased.

You can claim using the DASP online application system. The system will search for your super accounts (whether they're held by us or a super fund) and generate your claim.
