I am planning to move to Thailand in 2024 from USA at age 49. I am unsure of exactly what the plan is and I would like a service that can guide me through the visas, advise, help setup bank account if necessary, but I want a reliable service that is also priced reasonably. I am open to doing an education visa, learning Thai for the first year, then moving on to retirement visa. But, I am unsure of many things and may even want to try and work or start a business there. I need some help and guidance and want the right service.
