Hi , hoping your knowledge and experience can help me.

I have read through tons of replies and other posts but just got myself muddled up .

I’m 50 and my husband is 55 , we want to live in Thailand and from what I can gather the retirement visa would be best .

We have the 800k batt for this . Goodness knows how , but we got there and selling what we have to move , as my husbands health is just being ruined by his work . We are just back from a trip to Thailand to make sure is where we to be.

From what I can gather we need health insurance , bank account (which seems tricky ) and a lease .

Any advice ?

would an agent initially be best for the first year to get us through the initial paperwork and hurdles ?

Would one of us be cheaper going as a dependent ?

I appreciate any help you can give .

Its inspiring knowing so many of you have managed to get away from the rat race and give yourself a better life .
