I didn’t read it like that.

Your third paragraph was the answer the OP was asking for. Not sure why you jumped down his throat with the other two paragraphs. I don’t feel his question deserved such a rude response.

@Nongnuch *******

Excellent, concise and ordered advice. Very helpful for all.

Yes

@Chris *****

I don’t mean to be rude, but if you are learning, then learn before you post, because incorrect information can be misleading.

@Paul *******

No. It needs to be shown coming to your account from overseas. If you transfer it to your partner, then they transfer it to you, that is an internal transfer, so does not fit the requirements.

@Chris *****

You’re posting rubbish. What you have written is totally incorrect.

@Lester ********

Don’t make us all laugh. We are the ones engaging in conversation, you are the one that can’t comprehend fact. The issue of not being entitled to annual increases based on your country of residence is a completely separate one, which, you might find, if you had the mental agility to comprehend facts, most of us agree is unreasonable and unjustifiable. But that doesn’t distract from the fact that it is a benefit. Please get that into your head.

@Lester ********

It's a benefit. You're wrong, just accept it and thank the persons responsible for enlightening you.

Yes he will, but he will not receive further increases once he returns again to Thailand. If he had a Thai visa extension, for the purposes of retirement, he could have retained that as long as he got a re-entry permit before he left Thailand and the extension did not expire whilst he was out of Thailand. If not he will have to go through the visa application procedure again to get a Non-Immi ‘O’ or ‘OA’ which can then be extended for the purpose of retirement.
