A small question from someone (me) who might possibly retire in Thailand one day: For a small condo, how much will I pay for electricity per month (using a/c)? And how much for water?

Thx.

Edit: My question was rather vague, I know 😂.

But I was just looking for a price RANGE - and I thank all of you for giving me that!!!🙏🙏🙏

I’m trying to apply for the DTV ( destination Thailand Visa ) online

However there is very little communication (close to zero I guess they are busy With upcoming season) with the Thai embassy in Bucharest where I apply online and payed

They needed additional information regarding freelance work that I can not give them

Maybe I am the one making the mistake I thought freelance was the same as self-employed

I have been / still are Self-employed but use were little energy in to this now.

I close to early retirement.

It is only : purpose of visit

Where I want to switch from

A : freelancer status

to

B : Thai soft power Proof of confirmation to attend Thai cooking class

I have search for take cooking classes in Phuket

But I don’t know which one they mean that will count as being a participant in take cooking classes

Anyone knows if it’s just these half a day ( 4 hours) classes, is one enough or how many is required

How is the special schools I need to apply for Thai cooking classes ?

My wife and i plan on moving to thailand next year ( retirement ) first on a visa exempt ( we are from america ) then getting the non o visa once there, then extending it , my question is how do or can i open a bank account in thailand to deposit the 800000 for each of us on a visa exempt, or would it be easier to use a visa agent or agency. I already own a condo we bought 2 years ago.

Hi people have told about the retirement visa and how some

Visa agents for a fee will get the visa and you don't have to show funds they show the 800.000 baht for you. is it OK to use them

Thank you in advance for any information..

Hi All

Looking for a basic plan / advice.

I intend on retiring for a few years in Thailand in 12 months. I’m from the UK, age 55.

Thai girlfriend for 5 years, house now built near Kalasim, everything good.

Travel to Thailand every 12 weeks, and my girlfriend has been to the UK with me 3 times.

Worked all my life, and just want to relax and enjoy the next 5 to 10 years while I’m still able to.

I don’t have a Thai bank account.

Which visa should I apply for in the uk, and what steps do I need to take to keep things simple.

Thanks so much for your help and advice.

Sean

Hello there! Plan on retiring very soon in Thailand. Just getting started on medical insurance expenses and bank accounts before making my final decision. Thanks for having me! 🙏

Hiya campers eventually I want to retire to thailand , but for the foreseeable future I would like to visit 3 times a year ... Dec/Jan > May / June > Dec / Jan . Should I get a multi entry visa or will I be OK to do this with no problems without that visa ? ... Your thoughts would be appreciated ...

f you go to live in Thailand on the Australian Aged Pension (AAP) you will receive from Centrelink about Bt 620,000 per year or about Bt12,000 per week (Aus $27,000 per year). You can rent a condo in Hua Hin or a similar A/C condo long-term for about Bt 84,000 per year. The other Bt 530,000 or so is for you to do as you like, perhaps you might have to pay some tax or perhaps not. The Thai Tax department does not know...yet

I am selling my house and moving to Thailand. I am almost retired and live off passive income but not 50 yet so I need to do the soft power option of the DTV. Does anyone know how to get a letter from a Muay Thai gym . I’m active and think I would enjoy doing that but have no idea how I go about getting an acceptance letter and what is needed on it . Thanks !
