How do I know which agency to use to start my retirement visa process?

I’m looking for personal accounts on cooking classes in Phuket suitable for Dtv. Any recommendations? hopefully from people who have attended and enjoying the experience. Many thanks.

Hello, I got a few questions, and hope kind soul can assist:

1. The DTV dont allows people to have a Thai Bank account. So how do you guys pay rent year by year (assume you plan to stay 5 year). I couldn't possible hold Cash and use Cash all the time right? I don't plan to search for banks to open one and end up getting the funds locked and account closed eventually

2. What type of international banking platforms do you guys use for banking with minimal costs and fees?

3. For property rentals, in my Home Country there are property agents from proper property companies to assist in signing tenant contract agreement, but I am not sure in Thailand. There are home owners trying to market their own property, or even middle man who are not licensed property agent, can we trust them?

I just got my DTV approved (woo hoo)

Looking into cell phone tricks..

Thinking about parking my USA number to Google voice $10mo?

Then just getting a new sim out in Thailand?

I’ll be out there for over 1 year.

What’s the trick to save your number and not pay a lot monthly?

(I also don’t have an unlocked phone so my alternative is buying an unlocked phone and dial sim I think? But paying AT&T international plan is pricy.)

What options have people found for an affordable and comfortable way to leave and re-enter Thailand to activate a new 6 month stamp with a DTV. Starting in Bangkok. I know Cambodia is close but people say avoid poi pet so getting a bus to a different Cambodian border requires 2 bus’s I think. Long and uncomfortable. I have seen you can fly to Vietnam and back the same day. Less affordable but much more convenient.

Does any1 else have any better options? Trains? I’m 6f 5” also so lots of transport options become horrible if leg room isn’t sufficient.

Hi All, I am a UK resident wanting to retire to Thailand early next year, I want to apply for a marriage visa whilst in thailand, I have a Thai wife and a son from previous Thai marriage, I will have the 60 day visa exemption, where do I go from there, advice greatly appreciated.

Hey, chris here!

We are looking at getting DTV and going Phuket way.

Any recommendation?

We an are ~30 couple, British and Canadian. We like peacefulness, walking distance to massage places, gyms and spas etc, also good amenities like cinema etc.

Also how much cost $ is it roughly to furnish a 3 bed house 🙂

Thanks!

Hi all we will be moving from the UK to Surin soon does anyone have any experience shipping goods from the UK and how easy it is getting things through customs, we will be using a shipping company probably seven seas

Thanks in advance

Thanks to the people that bothered to read the question and give their feedback but I'm closing commenting due to the bar stool warriors commenting with their sell everything opinions 🙏

Is it faster processing through Jakarta or HCMC? anyone recently do it?

LTR Visa question. On my last trip to Thailand I received my 10 year LTR WP visa. It expires in 2028 with my passport expiration.

On my next trip to Thailand will they still stamp my passport on arrival? If so, what should I expect the stamp to say about how long I am allowed to stay? Do I need to point out my LTR visa stamp at immigration? Is it helpful to use fastrack immigration on arrival?

Thank you
