Hello all! We are looking for people in a similar situation. Both my wife and I collect pension, roughly 284,000 THB per month combined, not including outside sources of income. We started working with Bangkok Buddy as a visa / travel agent, but after hours of research into the subject we are lost.

Quick bio of our situation, we are both U.S. Military Veterans with 3 children, we would like to put them in an international school, however we must figure out our visa situation before applying. Another thought that may be important to take into consideration with Visas, (having a Thai employee, aka Nanny). We are both in our 20’s so we don’t hit that 50yr mark quite yet lol.

For the expats in similar situations, did you stick to Thailand or move from country to country every 90 days? Please help us navigate this 🙏🏻 Thanks ya’ll!

Here is a laugh for you all as we approach the weekend. I know, opening up for the trolls, but as low as I now feel, it won't matter.

Had everything lined up for the DTV, waiting for stocks/investment release for the last piece of the jigsaw. Booked ready for the weekend in time for 30 day extension to finish. Email just arrived and due to various reasons the funds cannot be released for another year. I will have to reconsider my options

Good luck everyone. Maybe I will rejoin in a year... 😄 👋

Hello can you recommend a cheap DTV option in Phuket ( Patong best )

Phuket Hero Gym ask for 45.000 that’s crazy , maximum 27.000 that’s also high price

Would love to find around 15 k

We need to go to a neighbouring country to apply for a Non B visa… which option is best out of Laos, HK or KL? (UK nationals).

My wife and I want to spend 4-5 months at a temple doing meditation. What visa would be our best option?

Hey guys! I’m looking for a Thai cooking school. I’m actually interested in learning how to cook too. I’m not just doing this for the visa. Does anyone know if there’s any cooking school that offers professional chef cooking classes?

Hey all!

I’m planning on moving to Thailand permanently from the US in 2-3 months and starting to think about which visa is the best to get.

I’ve been thinking about the Education Visa. Has anybody here done that? I heard it’s possible they might not let me extend it to a different visa after that year is up. True/false?

DTV visa - pros/cons?

Retirement visa - I am not pulling social security yet so I don’t have passive income. Is this still even an option? (I’m 50 years old.)

Tourist visa runs every 60/90 days. Is this really sustainable over years?

Thank you so much for any insight!

Can foreigners live in Thailand for long term?

What job to do please?

What is my best visa option folks?

Return home on Wednesday and want to know what visa is best to apply for until I turn 50 for retirement visa? Looking to return July was n longest visa possible. I will pay for bronze elite visa if I need to save any hassle but rather not If a better option.
