What are the best visa options for a 74-year-old expat married to a Thai national wanting to move to Hua Hin?

get agent to get you retirement visa. fairly easy from what I've heard

Mot’s Service

I predict a not so happy ending... 😂

So you’re 74 and going to wait a few more years ? Before you move to Thailand…

Health insurance will be almost impossible for you to get in Thailand at your age so you’ll need a big cash reserve for any serious visits to a hospital.

An American woman paid over 500,000 bhat for a hip replacement at Bangkok hospital last year

You can apply for marriage visa and Google

Visa agents Hu Hin and most will have prices on their web site

I had a girlfriend with a massage shop. I really liked her and was with her for 6 months. I asked her about sex with customers and she said I never boom boom with customers, I have young girls for that………..then added I just do hand job and blow jobs ! I thought oh ? That’s alright then 😣🤨 run for the hills, they’re all the same

An alternative would be to marry a Thai woman who owns a poodle grooming business.

You are 74 years old and you want to move in a few years. Either move now or it's a pipedream.

There is no “marriage visa” with which you can live in Thailand permanently.

You can apply for a “one-year extended stay permit based on being married to a Thai wife”, and after being issued it, then EVERY year, you need to apply again

Actually, every “single entry visa” becomes invalid when entering Thailand

Entering Thailand, you get stamped in for a 30-days, 60-days, 90-days or 365-days STAY PERMIT, the length is determined by the “visa class” you are using

After you entered, the visa itself is “used” or “invalid” or “void”. Period.

A "visa" allows you to enter Thailand, and only a "stay permit" allows to stay in Thailand. The “admitted until” stamp in your passport is a stay permit, and the wrongly called “marriage visa” or “retirement visa” which are issued by Immigration, actually are stay permits

You can apply for a “single entry 90-days married to a Thai wife Non-Imm-O visa” in your home country, enter Thailand and then, after you have fulfilled some requirements, apply for the "one-year extension of stay permit based on being married to a Thai wife".

Most people call this a "marriage visa", however a "1-year extension" is not a visa any more, it is a STAY PERMIT.

Immigration in their very bad English calls the extended stay permit a "visa extension", but TECHNICALLY, they don't extend any visa - they extend a stay permit.

A "visa" can technically speaking, not get "extended". A visa is meant for a one-time use

For both the application to the initial "visa" and for the application to the "1-year extension of the stay permit", you will need to fulfill a financial proof.

Which is either a deposit of a minimum of 400.000.- THB in a bank account in your sole name, or a proven monthly income of a minimum of 40.000.- THB.

You alternatively can enter Thailand visa-exempt, get stamped in for 60 days, and apply for the 90-days Non-Imm-O visa on Immigration, under slightly different requirements. This process is called “change of visa type” and you can find its different purposes and requirements on an Immigration website when you google for these words

Hurry up

Non-O retirement or Non-O Marriage. Retirement is more money but less hassle, marriage is less money but more hassle.

If you’re married to a Thai, then one option is a marriage visa.

It will require having 400,000 baht in a Thai bank.

(A retirement visa will require 800,000 in a Thai bank)

Another option might be the new DTV visa for digital nomads that give you a renewable 18O day visas for a 5 year period. You have to have 500,000 baht but it can be in your home countries bank…(collecting interest)….the DTV has to be applied for out of Thailand. Just log on to your countries Thai embassy website to read about visas. Please note that these rules can change without notice so keep that in mind. Good luck…🙏

You can do it yourself cost 1900thb, I would also recommend that you go to the immigration office to get any further information

You want to emigrate within a few years and you’re 74 🤪

Please find a house or a condo on the ground floor 🙏 Don't go near any high balconies.

Retirement visa

Just MHO.

Less worries, but again just my personal point of view

Get a retirement visa not a marriage visa, if you divorce you will have to leave

Following

Retirement visa

Marriage visa. Permanent until you divorce.

I've never heard of a permanent visa. I'm married to a Thai woman and stay here on a non-immigrant 'O' visa which is initially for 90 days but can be extended annually. It has some financial requirements and a lot of paperwork to get it but not insurmountable if you can meet the basic requirements.

Retirement visa is better. For marriage visa you need single status certificate from MEA from your country. If you have that you can visit Thai embassy with marriage docs and single status certificate. Ample money in bank or pension to show you can take care of yourself and family.

retirement visa or marriage visa, you can diy. just bring her to immigration to ask them what documents they require.

'within a few years' it will change. Check again then

Contact the Thai visa centre

Well ask her 🙄

Apply for the permanent visa . You just need proof of marriage, certificates , passport copy etc. you can live in thailand permanently
