Hi All

Looking for some advice.

Retireing in Thailand later in the year.

I have had the same UK works phone number for over 30 years, and use it for everything.

Obviously this uk sim will have to be returned.

I will then have to get a new uk sim and change my mobile phone number on all my uk accounts ect.

I realise I will have to get a Thai number when I move for Thai bank reasons.

Do I have to keep swapping between uk and Thai sims, maybe have 2 phones. Or will uk banks ect accept a Thai number ?

Just looking for a simple and cheap solution.

Thanks for your help 🙏

Hi all, should have said, I have an iPhone and would like to keep it,

A mate of mine in his 70's is applying in Ireland for his retirement visa.

Is there any Thai Insurance policies he could use as the Irish one are really expensive.

Thanks

I want to retire in Thailand but now I'm thinking about going for 30 days first to see if I want to do that what visa would you recommend

I am getting married to my Thai partner in early July and wish to retire in Thailand. I have started to an application for a non o visa and I got extremely bogged down around the fourth page asking for things like proof of medical insurance and funds in a Thai bank account as well as a medical certificate and police clearance. Am I approaching this the right way. I am from Australia. I'm sure that this kind of question has been asked repeatedly however, any constructive information would be greatly appreciated. I intend to register our marriage and apply for a spousal visa.

Starting to feel a bit defeated. We (60+) are coming from Canada in September but struggling to find a visa that we can make work for us. My husband and I are able to scrape together 800,000 baht for one Non OA visa, the rest of our money is in retirement portfolios (RRSPs).

I was thinking I could come on a Non O trailing spouse 90 day and extend to match his once we arrive. Has ANYONE done this??

I wish to retire to Thailand, i am 72 years old. I do not have 800000 baht but a pension of about 350000 baht per month. Can I still apply for a visa?

If I retire to Thailand non O

And a family member dies will I have to pay inheritance tax?

Im looking at retiring in Thailand and marrying my Thai girl fruend. She wants me to buy a house in Thailand i her name. Im very relucant to do this. Any advice?

Goal: Is to open a Thai Bank account so I can slowly build up the 800,000 baht over the next two years.

Plan: I will be taking my normal 2 week holiday in Thailand, I will be in and out. But this time , I plan on entering on a Non Immigrant O Retirement visa from my home country.

I want to do what is necessary to open a Thai Bank Account, as if I were going to apply for the Non Immigrant O extension.

If I can secure the Bank Account,. mission successful, and I would exit I hope on the Non O visa after 2 weeks.

I would then apply again for Non O in 2027, When I actually plan on living in Thailand for long term. Again my main purpose on this trip is simply to begin the funding process early and establish the Thai Bank Account, so I can move money a bit at a time.

Will there be any problems on my exit, if I exit after 2 weeks on the Visa. I hope it is my prerogative how long I stay less than the 90 days.

Going to bangkok in October to retire. I will be using a agent. Is thai kru a good agent?
