Will I lose my retirement visa if I leave Thailand for 6 months without doing 90-day reporting?

@Stuart **********

your pension is increased on the first day back,you must then remain in the U.K. for 2 yrs.

If you return to Thailand within the 2 yrs and inform the U.K government, then your pension will revert to that before you returned.
