I didn’t do it as when I tried it wouldn’t let me complete the tdac as I didn’t have a return flight on retirement extension, immigration said nothing, straight through
my problem is I’m uk citizen, resident in China… (getting non O within China is.. problematic so I’m trying for something in a different way) I have a Thai bank account and FCD account now so seasoning and bank reports shouldn’t be a problem (I hope)
with that in mind, our minds would be made up to stay or go at that point and so long as I then put 800k in the bank I can apply for the retirement extension at any time in that extra year or only in the last month
