In our last years.

Some people suffer from impaired mental faculties with various forms of dementia towards the end of their lives. At that stage of life there may be other health difficulties to deal with as well. Travel may become difficult or even impossible.

How would those people manage the processes of visa extensions and 90 day reporting?

What happens to them after many years in Thailand and perhaps having nothing and no one to fall back on in their home country?

Can anyone share how they plan around this pls ?

Retiring in Thailand long term, if husband and wife gets older and checks into a Thai nursing home, getting older and more forgetful (dementia), how do they entrust their funds / valuables are safe and what happens when they pass on there ?

Questions about last phase of life issues for expats in Thailand.

Assuming I come to Thailand on an LTR retirement visa from the US and don't plan to ever return.

I've looked into assisted living centers in Thailand and when that time comes it looks like where I'd want to spend my last time.

Question is will I be able to stay in Thailand when I'm at the point of needing care, or even unable to take care of myself anymore? Would I be able to get visa extensions while in that condition and poor health?

I would have funds to take care of my health issues

Update:

For my situation I would most likely be on a Wealthy Pensioner Visa and have a Thai lawyer in the loop for estate planning. Currently don't have a Thai lawyer as I haven't made the move yet.

What has motivated my thoughts is a friend has just found to be incompetent and placed in assisted facility and a parent is looking at having to go from in home care to a facility.

The question I'm attempting to resolve is will Thailand continue to allow expats to live there if things like Alzheimer, dementia, or being bedridden occur requiring fulltime care

I had many comments on my last post that Kasikorn bank was the easiest to set up account. I just left there because my wife (who has dementia and who won’t even be on the account couldn’t sign her name exactly the same on 3 documents. Again, she won’t even be on the account. Going to try SCB bank. I guess Kasikorn doesn’t want my money.

Does moving into a long term senior dementia care home qualify for a medical visa.

Long story but looking for advice. I married my Thai wife in 1978. I’m retired and we live on my pension plus both of us receive social security benefits. My wife had a stroke 2 years ago. Not much physical damage but she has lost most of her ability to use and understand English. There is some loss of Thai language but after a year of struggling with communication (I speak very little Thai) she flew to Thailand to stay with her niece near Chaiyaphum. It allowed me to continue working as a contractor then I joined her in Thailand for 2 months in June this year. I returned to USA and went back to work with the plan for her to return home in October. When she got home I left work to stay home with her. She has now been diagnosed with dementia. Her agitation is somewhat controlled with medication but it’s getting worse. The doctor has recommended I start looking for a care facility but it would be impossible to find something here where she could communicate with caregivers plus they are really expensive. I’m looking for suggestions for visa for myself that would allow me to stay with her in Thailand as long as possible if I can find a suitable facility there. Thanks for any help.

So I'm considering sending my MIL to a Care Facility in Thailand. She has Dementia. Does anyone have experience in this or helpful advice? (She's a US Citizen, 72 y/o, already considered incapacitated.) Thanks!
