Hi just want to ask if this plan is sound.
Background: UK passport holder, entered TH in Nov 2021. Arrived via sandbox on TR60 + 30 day extension, followed by 3 times Covid extension and a final Visa exemption after a trip to Malaysia. Left TH early Nov 22 back to UK.
Returning to TH mid Feb 23 on a METV and will start the B65k/month seasoning for 12 months. Appreciate the METV will get me at the maximum of 9 months with a few trips outside of TH, I can handle the last 3 months via other means. After 12 months of continuous deposits and trips outside TH, I will then apply for non-o based on being over 50.
Reason for 12 monthly deposits is that I can draw down on those funds and live, opposed to dropping 800k into a bank and deal with restrictive withdrawal levels.
Will this approach meet the requirements for future 12 months for retirement visa. TIA
