Yes, that is what I said. When you start the ball rolling to start the State Pension.
Losing Baht 500,000 a year, top line perhaps, deduct additional tax, a State Pension today takes me into the 40% tax bracket. When I could potentially gain a tax free lump sum.
And there is the issue. Take a lump sum and enjoy it, or take an annual pension and potentially only see it for 2 or 3 years.
Again, just to reiterate. Not a good move for someone who only has a State Pension.It is worth considering, should it come to pass, for those that the State Pension is nothing more than a bonus.
This is true. Male IO's will definitely deny you entry for excessive stays on VE or TV's.
@popabear You are pushing your luck using VE after VE for month+ long stays. As an earlier poster said, I think they would be reluctant to deny entry to an 81-year-old farang but they could. Do yourself a favour. Get a non-imm O or an Elite Visa.
