Consult an international law firm before committing yourselves.

Bank the 800k and leave alone.

Then during the same year keep depositing 65K+ monthly. (12 deposits)

Come renewal time you will have evidence to either remain on the 800k deposit or change to the monthly route to justify your first extension.

The choice is yours.

You will earn practically no interest on your 800k so it's probably better to reinvest that elsewhere if you choose the income route.

Just put down "Fallen in love with a bar girl whose family buffalo is sick and her brother needs a new truck for his latest business adventure"?

Prior planning preparation prevents poor performance.

Being hanged drawn and quartered.

Your mortal remains scattered liberally around the Kingdom and your head stuck on a spike outside immigration as a warning to all.

It's a bad idea to intentionally overstay for the reasons stated; trying to buy your way out of trouble.

Maybe ask yourself this question....would you be happy with a foreigner intentionally doing the same in your country? 🤔

@Tony ********

It's not about driving on the left (or right for that matter).

UK Type approval Certificate of Conformity....Indicators on the left of the column for new UK spec cars, Speedos in MPH, stricter emmision controls etc.

(Originally when Japanese card were imported to the UK; 50+ years ago, they had indicators on the right).

Each country has its own Type Approval Certificate of Conformity including Australia. 🙂

Apart from Import duties, etc have you researched type approval for use etc in the UK? (Certificate of Conformity)

The Speedo will be in KMH, the indicators on the wrong side etc.

Good luck to you.

You can contact the embassy directly....
