Hello all ,
Thanks for all the information here , Thai rules are not easy for visa’s and this group helps to learn.
Still a question: when your 50+ , do you need to be pensioner?
I will only be officially a pensioner in 4 years and want to live in Thailand for 9 months a year traveling 4/5 times a year for 2/3 weeks .
The 800.000 in the bank will be ok and i will rent a home till i’m pensioned , then normally buy one.
Thanks for your time .
Filip
