Anyone from bahamas living in Thailand and was the process easy looking to move in April

Hi, can someone recommend a Thai tax advisor? I'm planning on moving from the US to Thailand and need to understand the tax implications. Thank you.

Hi everyone, I’m from Australia and have just been granted my DTV visa. I’ll be relocating permanently and bringing my two parrots with me. At the moment I’m deciding between shipping my belongings as freight or keeping things minimal. I do need to bring their large stainless steel cage at the very least, so I’m trying to figure out the most cost-effective way to do this. I’ve also heard that people who arrive on a DTV visa with freight shipments can get hit with heavy import customs taxes—can anyone confirm if that’s true?

It seems like so many people are having issues getting/ renewing their visas. I noticed many people are having problems with the banks too. This makes me weary about our upcoming move… any suggestions

hello to all!

need advice, moving to Thailand next month with 1 dog.

Am I forced to take an A/R flight or will just one way do it? , I don't risk being refused because I will return with a tourist visa and then ask for my retirement visa on the spot?

where should the retirement visa procedures be done before coming back?

Do you have a solution to my problem?

Thank you

Bonjour à tous !

j'ai besoin de conseil, je vais m'installer en Thaïlande le mois prochain avec 1 chien.

Suis-je obligé de prendre un vol A/R ou juste un allé simple peut suffir?, je ne risque pas de me faire refuser car je vais rentrer avec un visa touriste et ensuite sur place demander mon visa retraite?

ou faudrait-il faire les démarches de visa retraite avant de venir?

avez vous une solution à mon problème?

Merci

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!

I submitted my O-A visa package this morning and just got the visa! Thanks to all who had good advice! ขอบคุณ ครับ

I won't be able to sleep tonight!

does anyone know of an agent in Korat

I know alot of people will say you dont need an agent for the immigration office and driving license but its for my peace of mind not worried about the money as to me it will be worth it for me as we only have 3 days in korat I have tried 1 but they Arte not interested as I have a non o visa already just want to speak to an agent to see

Edit: Thanks for all the answers in here. Questions answered and good tips given.

If I was to transfer 65.000 monthly to my Thai bank. Are there any requirements about how long it must stay in account? I assume you can use this money as normal. I want to use this to get my retirement visa in the long run. I'm not planing on staying more then max 6 months and not interested in moving permanently to Thailand. But tourist visa is to much problems around now if using it 2 times pr year.

Point was, some of the 65k I need to use in home country as well for monthly expenses. Only interested in feedback regarding the 65k must stay in account..

I am planning to move to thailand on DTV. I would like to know your experience of moving to thailand as solo person. I am kind of scared. Is it easy to find housing, new friends, locals?
