Also check with them as to what happens if you go to extend to 20 years down the road. Will the future fees apply? In that case I’d consider 20 year membership from the get go. Good luck!

Not sure I follow that. My income in retirement will be higher than the 80K passive income needed for LTR Retiree option. However, that income will not start showing in my tax returns until I file 1099-R in 2024 return. Moreover BOI seems to be looking back 2 years of returns. If BOI will take the projected dividend income from my Schwab statement, then I'm all set, and if not, unfortunately I'll have to go for OA visa route and once I have the 2 year passive income recorded in my returns, I can apply for LTR wealthy pensioner visa. I can go for the wealthy global citizen now however, I don't wish to block $500K in Thai bonds/investments.

80k in income….What to do when you’ve recently retired and your past tax returns show earned income (W2) and not passive or retirement income. Do they accept future dividend income if you can show the brokerage printouts projecting dividends income for next 12 months totaling 80k or more?
