What is the best visa option for moving to Thailand, considering my age and intention to learn Thai?
Apologize in advance if this has been asked before. I'm 52, I'm planning to move to Thailand. I did my research but got me a bit overwhelmed by what visa i should apply for. A friend advised me to get a ED visa since i wanted to learn Thai. Does it require a certain amount in your bank balance to show as well?
Answer summary
The user is planning to move to Thailand at the age of 52 and is considering an ED visa for learning Thai. However, comments suggest that a retirement visa might be a better option due to less hassle and easier renewal processes.

Retirement or DTV, in my opinion

Ignore your friend.. Your moving here permanently, retirement visa easier and the best.. And compared to Ed visa with renewals and hassle no comparisons at all...

Hi Martin. Do you have any understanding of the Tax implications in Thailand. I am trying to find out my situation on bringing capital from the sale of my house in the U.K. to Thailand. It’s was my main and only property in the U.K. of which I have lived in for 13 years. Any help would be appreciated.Activity
