Im a bit confused about a few things re retirement visa. It says I must have a thai bank account to pay the security money into, that's fine, but how do I arrange that before I get there with a valid long term visa that allows me to open one?
- another worry is it says I must have a 1 year health cover from my med aid (& turn it into a local one within the year) but my medaid only covers 3 months travel?
& last is a temporary hotel or other address acceptable for the visa & am I free to move once I have the visa ?
Any advice is appreciated, thanx 🙏
