@Peter *********

That's good if it works for you. My Australian super fund earns around 8-9% tax free interest, which conservatively is 64k baht per year. I couldn't let that go. I need money to live on, and transferring 85k per month satisfies that requirement, and meets the criteria for the annual visa extension

Yeah I guess so. I'm from Australia where superannuation payments are based on final salary. It's just me (and please excuse me for this) but I find it incomprehensible that retirees have less than 65k per month income.

Or better still use the 65k per month transfer method. Why the f**k do people persevere with this 800k crap?

The cost of insurance easily is nowhere near the loss of interest and especially now the criteria is dropping back to
