I am completely new at this and of course have many questions. I have been to Thailand several times and I am interested in retireing there. This is my initial plan. I will retire at the end of September 2026. I will go back to Thailand for 2 weeks before returning to the states to liquidate all my assets. What do you suggest I do during my 2 week trip? Should I apply for a certian type of visa before or during that trip? shoudl I try to open a Thai bank accout? Just looking for guidance to make it as smooth as possible. Thanks in advance.

Considering my already overloaded plate. I'm sure I'll need a "Agent" to get through this extensive process ig Visa application, I can't even imagine how I'd do this alone ? Any suggestions for a Reputable Visa agent ? Yes,,I've visited Thailand, 60 days of bliss, my life is changed. Thanks ps. I'm still in Florida right now, my visit was limited to Phuket, mainly Rawai and Patong. I plan to live near Isaan or Chang Mai..maybe Udon ?

I am planning to visit Thailand in Augusy for my bday. What type of visa do I need. And best places to stay in BKK. I am also considering moving there, but would like to visit first. Any advice and info is appreciated

Hi, I need some information, I want to extend my non-O visa for 2 months but I know we need TM30... By the way... My wife is from Buriram and we applied for TM30 on her Buriram address but now we have moved to Ayutthaya and she now lives in Demetri and I live with her... Demetri does not fill out TM30 for foreigners so I am confused how to get an extension for 2 months... Please suggest me how can I do? Can I still apply for an extension at Ayutthaya immigration based on TM30 on Buriram address? What can I do please suggest... Thanks

Heloo group,,thanks for the invite ! I'm Bub, my dad and I were just in/on Phuket for 49 days, we had to cut our trip short do to a unfortunate health issue my dad had. Our trip was exploratory in nature, we plan to make a home near Hau Hin/Isaan or ? We were both very impressed with the quality of people, foods, places and overall livability for us. Moving forward, we want to return asap, August ? However, after discovering this group, I'm a bit concerned,,seems there may be some difficulties with returning after a short time, like more than once per year ? Any encouraging words will be appreciated.,Thanks again.

Everybody what's up I just wanted to make a quick post about a few things I'm currently doing documentaries about Thailand and certain places but I'm just trying to probably find a more permanent place to stay somewhere here in Southeast Asia been thinking about Cambodia but here in Thai visa forms I joined originally to see what I could do about my situation since I am a younger American I'm not really wealthy enough to have a VIP but at the same exact time I know that when it comes to maybe in the future if it comes to reentry what would be some advice as far as coming back into Thailand for say to visit a family friend and or documentaries? Or would just be hopping over just as long as I don't do it as often and be okay?

Is there anyone here who lives in Hat Yai or has spent time there. I can find very little about it other than local tourism and Wikie.

Thanks
