Is it easier to immigrate to Thailand with a British or Argentine passport?

@Xiaosong ****

yes I did everything in Thailand. I arrived on a tourist visa .

First thing I tried to do was open bank account , especially as I was under the believe the money needed to be in the account for 2 months before the non O application . It turned out that wasn't the case , you just had to show a 800,000 baht balance within 24 hours of applying .

Hope that makes sense 🙏

@Xiaosong ****

should also say I think it is well worth the effort and in reality it's just lots of paperwork. I am sure you will enjoy your retirement here 🙏😎

you would probably benefit from opening a WISE account while in the UK. This will give you a easy way to transfer your funds (800,000) into a Thai bank account.

As I mentioned before different immigration offices required different documents. You may find that you only need TM30 registration which is done by the landlord, you then just make a copy of it .

For me in koh phangan this is what was required . Yes you will need to be in Thailand and you will need to open a bank account , believe it or not that is the most difficult thing to do . I would suggest you just take it in your stride and slowly but surely you will get it done . I wouldn't worry about the funds being in the account for two months prior to applying as I did not have this demand , although you will hear it from many people.

I would suggest you enter Thailand on a TR visa and with the extension this should give you enough time to get everything sorted .
