 Only for one year, then you switch to 65k monthly transfers. Best strategy

Money has to be in an "at-call" account. If you bring in assessable income you will be liable for tax. Whether you pay tax depends on source of money, tax already paid and any concessions under your respective DTA

@Ian *****
 But my 800k is earning 92k tax free each year. The 65k is my living money. I don't know how you can work it out any other way

 That's correct. But some people seem happy to leave 800k stagnating in a Thai bank account. I don't quite get that
