I am disabled 67 year old man, mobilising on crutches. Normally I like to spend between 3 to 6 months, in the past I used to get a couple of 3 month visas from the Hull Consulate. Then at the end of each 3 months, do a border run but my poor mobility now makes this a pretty crazy idea. Almost certainly I have little or no savings to qualify for a retirement visa........my pension is 990 GBP a month, what alternatives do I have?

My oestio-arthritis is getting worse and I cannot spend the winter in the UK. Almost daily in Thailand I manage to swim, that is the only exercise I can do.

Your pension is right on the edge of the 65k monthly allowed.. If they allow you to use a combo of funds and income you may swing by that one..
