Thanks for all the comments, I maybe should have shared that my main reason for asking is I need to make a decision in the next 6 weeks about whether to take (up to 25% tax free) PCLS (Pension Commencement Lump Sum) out of my pension next year.
If I can swing the LTR based on >$40 pa income past 2 years & a guarantee of another >$40K in pension then I won’t take any money, if I can’t then it’s 6 months outside of Thailand next year (Tax) & a $250K investment.
Special thanks to the person who pointed out it’s $250K & not the 10Million THB I thought it was, makes a huge difference to my plans 👍🏻
Edit: Sorry, it’s 9 years on a Non-IMM O, I can remember watching the France Croatia World Cup final on the rooftop of Chulia Mansions whilst I waited for Banana Thai Visa agency to get me my Non-IMM O “Retirement” (1 year, multi-entry in those days 😊)
