You are at one of the Facebook groups that is appropriate for your concerns. Best advice is to keep monitoring other member’s questions, concerns and answers. That’s my tip.

Jesus, get a life, you have how many years to go to work it out.

In 2004 there was no facebook or anybody to ask when i came to thailand. Googke is your best friend. And like the first person saud rules do change very often, so does the bloody exchange rate. My highest was 74.9b to £1. Lowest was 35b if i remember correctly. Figure that in your planes. Come for a holday. But you say so little, your ages, kids etc etc for others to help. Immigration in one town or city wants this, another wants that i kid you not. Interest rates on savings here 1.1% per year, minus 15% tax. Hahaha. I had 3 y to run on my passport, i asked nobody i thought easier to renew in my country than thailand so thats what i done. Google and common sense.
