Hello everyone!

I am British but a resident of Greece for 9 years.

63 now and looking at moving to Thailand, Hua Hin to be specific.

I will be selling up here and have a balance of around 140.000 euro but pension is not payable until 2030.

Is it possible to get on a plane with my 2kg dog and start the whole visa 0/non (l think) from scratch when l arrive?

I do not want to start anything in Greece as notoriously difficult to do anything with paperwork here.

Was thinking that l could get an agent to help me once l am there?

If I want to move to Thailand from USA on a marriage visa, do I apply before or after flying there? If before, how far in advance of travel? Do they require an exact travel date to apply? TIA for your input.

If l get the 90 day retirement O visa in UK, use it to open bank account but don’t apply for one year extension and leave before 90 days. Can one do that and is it acceptable to immigration?

This is all new and overwhelming to me. I'm retired with a monthly pension and now recently started receiving my retirement benefits six months ago. I need help because it so much different information out here about visa.

I don't know which one I should apply for. I won't have the $25k until my house is sold. But with my pension and retirement benefits I have the $2065 monthly going into my bank account.

I've research and watch so many videos but still not sure what I should get prepared to do. I read that I need both the monthly amount and the $25k and then I read it's either one or the other.

Any information would be appreciated as I have tried really hard to understand the process to get started.

I just went on the Thai embassy website. It gives you the option of filling out a Non O retirement visa. I have heard you can still open a Thai bank account in Thailand, then do the retirement visa in Thailand. Is this a good option instead of the OA retirement visa? I live in the United States

I need urgent advice here : this is my 3rd day in Bangkok, my realtor agent promised to take care of my biz ; but as soon as I realized that he tried to rush me into an expensive rental contract, I decided to pull out. I need to take care of the following steps : 🙏🙏

1) where may I report my hotel address ?

can I rely on my hotel to do this for me ?

2) how and where may I extend my Non-O (3-month) visa into an annual visa, so that my visa will be good for a year and I can renew it a year later ?

what is the official name of this type of visa ?

3) what banks do you recommend to open an account with ?

4) please recommend a trustworth realtor agent you have dealt with before for a rental.

(prefer a single room with co-work space、gym、pool、sauna and/or steaming room、within 10-minute walk from subway station, budget 14k-17k baht)

Thank you very much for your sharing ! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Can I get a retirement visa and spend more time in Australia and work until I get our home built then retire in about two years over there and how often do I need to return and would it be easier to find a agent to help me with everything like bank account and phone number and driving licence and stuff like that
