Do i have to sign a long term home rental lease of 6 months or 1 year to qualify for my retirement visa? Siam legal said i need to sign long term to qualify. Someone else said i can get the visa with just staying in a hotel room? Any thoughts?

I am reading about the LTR and financial commitment. Assuming Inmajr between 40k-80k $US.I must invest $250k US in Thalland. What about Thai bonds are they good? What other options-?

Hi!

Is it common for hotels/airbnb's to submit a TM30 if you request it?

Or should I expect I need to get on a longer term lease before the landlord wants to bother?

Hi, any recommendations for villa rental agents in Phuket? Looking at 6-12 months lease.

Thanks!

Hiya folks, I recall someone posting info about property inheritance when a Thai spouse passes away. The law dictates that the house goes to the THAI next of kin and NOT to the non-Thai spouse. Someone posted that it is possible to apply for a document from the local district office to ensure the spouse has permission to live in that property indefinately even though they cannot own it. Cant find that post again. Any information would be most welcome. Not interested in expensive law firms.

Another question regarding the TM30, i have searched the group postings but cannot find an answer to my particular position. I am into year 11 of a 30 year lease ( 30+30+30), house and land being in the name of my ex. Previously i have shown a copy of the Chanote with my name registered as a lessee, this address is registered with Phuket immigration. Not previously been asked for a TM30, so i am assuming i don't need one? The Thai immigration web site regarding the TM30 does not mention long term leases. TIA.

Question of Long Term lease (1 year) as proof of accommodation at Immigration when flying into BKK & DMK.

I've been reading when flying in I should have: 1) 20k baht cash minimum 2) proof of onward travel 3) proof of accommodation, in case I am asked.

When flying in on either a 30 day visa exemption, or a SETV (60 day tourist), will there be any issue showing a 1 year lease as my accommodation?

I wasn't sure if they prefer something like that or if that actually looks "bad" considering I'm a tourist. Or is it a NON ISSUE?

Info: I'm a US Citizen. I do not live in Thailand long term, and I do not work here etc. I travel around Asia a lot and it is nice to have a place to keep my stuff and apartments are cheap. I was told it is perfectly fine to rent a long term apartment on a tourist visa/exemption.

Example: in 2018 I was only here for 30 days on a visa exemption in January. And I've been in here again since Oct 1st on another 30 day exemption + extension until Nov 28.

I plan on spending a week or 2 in Cambodia and then coming back here on either a SETV or visa exemption.

Thanks in advance and sorry for the long winded question, just wanted to be thorough.

Hey Guys

Tm30 reporting... i'm shortly changing residence from Saraburi to Chon Buri. Will stay in an AIRBNB for two weeks whilst I search for a long-term condo with a lease.

What's the likelihood of the Airbnb lodging a TM30? What if I reported my change of residence after finding my long-term condo and signing new lease and did so in the 24hour window?

Your collective wisdom will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi there, are there any barriers to signing a long term lease entering on a 30day visa exemption?
