What are the best visa options and services for moving to Thailand from the USA at age 49?

If you come for Non B and or asked tourists for 90 days that more easy for you to choose to made another type of visa . Example : 1 Ed visa for Moui Thai or Thai Language, for 1 years. And then can change for business visa or another type or continue Ed until can made retirement visa, for more information can IB to me.

Let's hope they don't shut down the country for another Covid variant as some rumors are suggesting by then.

I don't want to make any predictions nor do I know how credible this information is, but some rumors circulating of TSA agents in the USA being told masks back on for employees by mid September and for all air travelers by October. Then a full worldwide lockdown by December.

Already a number of places in the US have brought back Covid mask and isolation rules in recent days. The occasional hospital in Europe too.

Sadly, this could spread to Thailand eventually.

Again, remains to be seen. Nothing concrete as of now. Just making you aware you can't take it for granted everything will be normal when you plan to come. Hopefully it will be.

You can try with this one tho, good one with free consultation

If you are coming and you are 49, you maybe able to get a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (good for 9 months), then you should be good to get a retirement visa (available to those who are over 50).

Do your own research follow your heart not your head for visa advice (one stop visa ) soi 6 pattaya

You might need to look and do research on your own by visiting royal thai embassy and inquiring about their long term visas first and then ask specific questions. There is a lot to consider and you might need more prep if you want to start a long term life in Thailand.

The only visas you will be able to work on are B and LTR. If you don’t have 80k income per year or 40k and buying property, forget LTR. B will cost you roughly $6k per year for all costs associated with the visa and work permit, taxes, accounting, Etc.

While I understand some people might want a 'full service' advice, I would recommend you come to this group and ask pointed questions - answers even by 'experts' can be contradictory and not always correct.

If you enrol at a reputable language school, they will do all the Education Visa paperwork for you. You'll need to supply a few documents but the school will do all the preparation. So you wont need an agency to do it for you.

You should come here for a couple of months to see how you like it. But ed visa for 1st year to bring you to 50 and then retirement visa. But make sure you plan on how to make passive income while staying in Thailand such as investment portfolio and rental income. Message me if you need any advice.
