Hi
I'm selling my house and the proceeds will be my income initially to get a retirement visa. Pensions will be available, but holding out drawing on them at mo.
What's the best way to enter Thailand this February ( hopefully )
1. Do I need to have money in the bank for a set time to get retirement visa
2. Or what visa is best and then cinvert to retirement visa.
3. Which airline would you recommend from London
4. What's the best way to get my personal effects over ( mainly small stuff and clothing )
I've read so much that I'm total confused, so personal experience would be great.
And if anyone is kind enough to be able to help me with the process, even better x
Thank you
