Hi all, slightly niche advice needed here.

My Husbands uncle is 84 and has been in Thailand for over 20 years. We have had very limited contact with him over the years and very little information on his living arrangements.

We were contacted by what we thought was his wife saying he has dementia and he needs to come back to the UK. It's been mentioned because of this his retirement visa won't be extended?

Would anyone have any advice on this? We have no idea of any Thai legalities, visas ect or if he has any way to Fund any care over there or in the UK. All I know is we are unable to financially support him at all.EDIT It is not that we don't care, we barely know this man, I believe he would rather stay in Thailand, why go back to a village in the UK with no living relatives on your own? If we could afford to bring him back and thats what he wanted, we would.

Hey guys! I have a question. I hope it doesn't come across as confusing to you as it is in my head: I placed my dad in VivoCare, a dementia care facility, here in Thailand at the beginning of February. He's an 82 yo Army vet with a full pension and disability. Once at VivoCare, they helped him open up a bank account with Bangkok bank with 800,000 baht that I provided. That month, I started sending 70,000 baht into the bank account via Wise from his US bank account every month, and will continue as long as he's there.

They keep telling me that after his visa (not LTV) gets approved tomorrow at immigration, I must continue to deposit 70,000 baht into his BBK account every month (which I knew), but that I can withdraw the 800,000 baht or spend it on his monthly rent at the facility. That makes me nervous: Can I draw the 800,000 down entirely? Or does at least 400,000 baht need to stay in that account? What about the thing where 800,000 (400,000?) needs to stay in the account 3 months after approval? Or is that a different visa route?

I'm trying to figure out what Visa he's getting. But more importantly, I don't want to draw the money too far down below the 400,000 baht or draw it too soon if it'll mess him up.

Please explain it to me because I keep asking them and they keep saying I can, but his immigration money isn't something I want to play with.
