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.

Looking for clarification for 90 day reporting please. I got my extension for retirement on 13 Jan 24. At the same time I seem to have also done the first 90 day reporting. I was helped at Chiang Mai Immigration by a volunteer and didnt fully understand all the forms. I have a docket stapled into my passport saying I have to Notify again on 6 April 24. I take it that I am ok until that date?

Normally I live in Chiang Mai and I have a one year lease on a hotel room commenced Oct 23.

But I will be in Koh Lanta from 19 March to late April.

My question is can I do an online report and if so can I use my CM address or do I have to use hotel address in koh Lanta? What supporting documents do I need to submit?

Right now I cannot access the TM47 online on my phone. If that were to be a problem when I go to submit from Koh Lanta, what would I do?

Sorry it is so wordy - I just want to give all the backgtound in order to get full clarification.

Grateful for all advice offered
