So I think I finally worked retirement date 2/7/27, the day I turn 60! Our plan is to move to Thsiland 2/9/27. My husband took a lump sum as a retirement in 2023, so he won’t have a monthly income, but I will. Yes we can satisfy 800,000, although I don’t like the fact that we can’t use our money.

Question: will my husband’s 800,000 baht be enough to meet requirements or does he have to show a monthly income? My retirement will be enough for the both of us…planning ahead

Thank you in advance 💚

So, when I get a cell phone in my name, will my receipt reflect that? Debating on getting it in the small town near me or going to Khon Kaen. Not sure if the small town cell provider would know what I'm talking about for proof of the plan in my name. Thanks.

When do I need the TM30 first time? For the 90 days report?

Generally, could I also use a TM29 (Self reported) if the lanlord refuses to do a TM30?

I plan to rent an airbnb for the first month in order to rent an appartment myself after that. But I realize that some Airbnb hosts are not willing to do the TM30. I know they are legally required to do it, but if they just don't... well...

 hello. I have a very specific question. I am in Thailand half the year in Canada half the year. I have a year round condo rental.

With this visa, we can obviously not get a bank account.

I am wondering how people pay their bills during the time they are not in Thailand.

Specifically, I am looking to pay my true phone bill, my water bill, my electric bill and my cable bill

I really appreciate any information you can offer

What’s the safest option when applying for a DTV by way of soft power? I don’t want to do Muay Thai but would love to learn Thai cooking. Is it still feasible to get the visa from a cooking course? And which courses are trustworthy? Thanks
