What is the best visa option for retirees wanting to split time between Thailand and the UK?

Shane ******

I'd do your non-o retirement if have and want to have 800k in bank here.

Or come in on the 60 day+30 do a bounce out of country and repeat. Probably won't raise any flags if your going to be away for 6 months after that.
