I’m close to my 2 year window to go to retire in Thailand. Question, my spouse who just went to LA to Thai consulate to renew her passport made me think about this. Should I apply for a retirement visa in the US before I go or get an agent once I’m there?   No experience with any of this.

DVT question - I qualify for this visa in everyway except the 500,000 bhat saved up. If my family loaned me the money just for the visa application process would that work? I would be sending my family the money back after the DVT was issued. Any advice on this?
