ORIGINAL POSTERHello, I am currently doing my research on moving to Thailand. I have been to Thailand a few times throughout my life. I have been "retired" since 30 years old. I get a pension from the US Government.
I am exploring 2 visa options.I do understand that rules constantly change.
DTV visa by way of Muay Thai training.
Question is do I need to re enroll every time I leave/re enter Thailand?
Retirement Visa- Currently I am 47 so would have to wait til I turn 50. I have a constant monthly pension since I was 30 years old. Pension is well over the 65k monthly requirement. I do not wish to open a bank account in Thailand put over $25k (which I do have in my US bank now). Mainly because I have heard that Thai banks have been freezing accounts of foreign holders. And that the money has to be in the account for 2 months prior to getting the visa.
Any advise someone can offer would be greatly appreciated.
