Hi. Iโ€™m currently in Thailand now, have a 6 month rental. I am enquiring with someone about getting an educational visa. I only want to be here 6 months, Iโ€™ve been here 1.5 month currently. Am I best to get the educational visa or extend my 60 day visa by a further 30 days, do a visa run and spend a week in Malaysia for example, then return? Will I be able to get another extension when I return? So that I can spend a further 60 + 30 days here. I am happy to get the educational visa but I am just weighing up options as I only intend to be here 6 month in total. Thank you

In my opinion, visiting first and researching the areas, as well as inquiring about requirements, is the best approach for me.

As a retired federal employee and Veteran, reading these posts can be overwhelming and disappointing due to some providing valuable advice while others make condescending remarks towards those unfamiliar with the process.

Not everyone has 800,000 Baht to invest in a Thai account, similarly, Portugal requires $10,000. Social media is making it seem as tho this is the place to be and have people jumping on planes , moving and not doing proper researching or planning. Why, because all they are seeing is low rent, food etc which will change the more people move there.

I prefer not to rely on another country's resources by coming there with no income. I would like to hear more from some of the men/women veterans who have moved to Thailand and retired. What do you do for VA appointments etc.? What visa they have?

I am seeking an stress-free environment without depleting my monthly retirement benefits.

peace and a stress-free lifestyle

Can a credible source elaborate on soft power activities and how frequently they must be attended?

I've read Muay Thai, Cooking, Medical, Seminars, Arts and Music Festivals. Does one festival ticket count as a qualifying event? Does one doctor or dental appointment count? One seminar?

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

A simple heads up . . . The below sacred festival takes place this coming Saturday

24th Feb . . .

( I believe results in a complete 24hr ban on the sale of alcohol in shops, bars and restaurants)

Therefore if you are a rugby fan, get yer stocks in prior to another fine weekend of

6 Nations rugby ) . .๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿป๐Ÿป .

and blessings to all ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

Hello everyone!

Dreaming of a relocation from Australia to Thailand. Did you guys use a migration agent to work through the best option for visa (one that allows work) or did you go solo?

Also, anyone with a child with ADHD or with ADHD themselves here? Whatโ€™s the situation with medical and other support in the land of smiles? Is that a concern for the immigration services?

Kap khun ka! ๐Ÿ™
