What paperwork do I need to move to Isan, Thailand, and what visa should I consider?
Thinking of moving to isan to live what paper work would I need
Answer summary
To move to Isan, Thailand, you'll need specific paperwork which primarily depends on your visa type, nationality, and financial status. Common documentation includes a TM30 form filed by your landlord, proof of income or funds (such as bank statements), and possibly a retirement visa if you're over 50. The conversation highlights the necessity for more detailed information about your situation to provide accurate advice.

Good luck man, you need way too much shit plus you have to have a lot of money in a Thai bank. Plus proof of monthly income. I would love to move to Thailand but they don't want foreigners here unless they have lots of money.

The same paperwork you would need to NOT live in Issan . 🤣🤣🤣. It’s about Thailand not a region of the country . Without knowing more about you, no one can help answer your question. Age is a big factor .

Been living here for some time, meets an eedork in a Pattaya bar and wants to support her family & build a house for them… it all ends when your money runs out fella.
You know full well you’d need the same paperwork you’d need to live anywhere else in Thailand.

if you do not speak Thai you are going to have a difficult time, as very few speak English. That will be your biggest problem.

No different to living anywhere else in Thailand. After move file TM30 with local Immigration Office.
Jeffrey **********
When you do find a place you're moving to the owner needs to file the paper TM30 which says where your current residence is
Stuart *********
@Jeffrey *********
as @Lawr****
said. A TM6 was the old paper arrival/departure card that you used to have to fill out on the airplane or at a land border.As of May 1st that’s going to be superseded by the TDAC.
I suspect you’re thinking of a TM30 where the hotel or landlord file the fact that you’re resident at their property.
Lawrence ********
@Jeffrey *********
TM6 is entry card, which is being replaced by TDAC (online). You mean TM30 or something else.

You’re going to need to provide way more info to get anyone to be able to answer you.
What is your nationality, what is your age, Isan may suggest you’re married to a Thai (although that’s just a guess - I can’t see why anyone would who isn’t would move there - subjective for sure).
No one can answer your question without way more information.

@Steve *****
all the rules are the same to live throughout thailand so all you need is transport, then register your TM30 at the nearest immigration and possibly move bank account to that provinceStuart *********

Bank statements often have to come from head office regardless of your branch you use.Stuart *********

@Stuart ********
the OP has explained in the comments he's english and moving from Pattaya. When I go to Isan there is additional fee to withdraw from Pattaya account, plus complications to get bank letter to renew annual visaStuart *********
@Sylvia *******
There is no requirement to have a bank account in the province you’re applying for a visa/extension. There probably would be a need for a TM30 for that province but as we know nothing about what they are trying to do it’s hard to advise.Activity
