What visa should I apply for to retire in Thailand and how can I open a Thai bank account?
My husband and I are looking to retire in Thailand this year. We currently live in South Africa. We would appreciate info on the Visa that we should apply for, how to open a Thai bank account and the best way to move funds into the account. If the 800 000 THB for both of us is in the account do we still need to provide proof of monthly earnings ? Are we ever able to officially immigrate to Thailand. Looking forward to the feedback. Thank you Kevin and Annette Dolby
