Alternate investments of 800k retirement funds?

[Packer]

What is the best paying Thai bank account for one's 800k retirement extension funds? What is the best % per annum?

 

1% p/a = 8,000.

-1900 extension fee

= 6,100

 

Agents can handle extensions for 14,000 without needing to keep these funds in a Thai bank. 

 

But I'd like to keep it in Thailand. 

 

Can buy a small apartment for 800,000. Rental income around 4000 per month after common fees are paid.

 

Full occupancy 48,000.

-14,000

= 34,000

Minus whatever maintenance needs to be done, usually not a lot.

 

75% occupancy (9 months. Sitting unrented for 3 months)

36,000

-14,000

= 22,000.

Minus any maintenance. 

 

Now, other Thai investment options paying annual dividends such as the SET?

Forgive me for going off topic, but can you explain how agents get the 1-year extensions without the 800k in the bank. I would really like to know how that works. Thanks.

The 800k is deposited and withdrawn. 

The stamps issued at io discretion. 

The funds are not maintained in the bank.

What is the dividend yield of Thai Union?

How much dividend does Thai Union Group PCL pay? Within the last 12 months, Thai Union Group PCL paid a dividend of THB 0.55. For the next 12 months, Thai Union Group PCL is expected to pay a dividend of THB 0.70. This corresponds to a dividend yield of approximately 6.19%

 

Expected dividends 6.19%

49,520

- 14,000 agent fees.

 

35,520.

The funds are deposited into your bank account.

The immigration officer grants the extension at their discretion. 

The funds are withdrawn.

 

You're welcome.

As some have noted, the agents place funds in your account temporarily, and the IOs do not check on its maintenance.

There is also the case where a senior IO can "waive" the requirement altogether. Not sure how often that actually happens.

At extension renewal, how about the "800K maintained 2 months prior/3 months subsequent application" rule?

6 plus % sounds pretty good to me, how does this work?

Minus 15% Taxes the Bank will withhold from your Interest. Other options minus Taxes you have to pay.

But if you buy an apartment how are you going to show 800000bhat in the bank to immigration 

 

You should be able to get 1.5% for 12 months

You missed the part about the agent putting the 800k in his bank account temporarily for his 1-year extension.

[Celsius]

SCB pays over 8% and I still wouldn't do it.

 

That 800k condo will be rented out to cambodian slave labor or Thais. Good luck collecting.

Extensions from a Non O retirement can also satisfy financial requirements by using income method.

The required monthly transfers is 65k.

There is option to money in bank method.
