Hi all, hope you are having a great week

Property rental

May I ask, under normal circumstances, when you rent a property for the first time, what is usually the initial outlay

For example,

Would you normally be expected to pay a security deposit/ bond

If so, is that usually the equivalent of 1 months rent

Would you normally be expected to pay for the first 2 months upfront?

I am just trying to get a rough estimate how much money we will initially need to ‘settle down’ once in Thailand

Thanks if advance

How does everyone find a long stay accommodation something for a year!

In Bangkok

If you going to apply for a marriage visa in your home country Thai embassy how do you do this > “Security deposit of THB 400,000 in a Thai Bank Account for at least 2 months prior to the visa application” ?

Been looking at renting a house in Hua Hin. I understand the one month in advance and the one month rent. Can someone tell me what is the insurance charge for? Do I get my money back if I don’t use it?

Thanks

For "Thai family" extension of temporary stay:

"a security deposit of 400,000 THB in Thai Bank Account for at least 2 months prior to the visa application..."

Is this any special kind of deposit or is it defined as having a checking or savings account with at least this sum during that period?
