Hi, I am aiming to travel, view and rent a condo for long term in December this year, with the aim of spending at least 6 months a year there. I also need to open a Thai bank account.

What visa should I be applying for?

Thanks.

hello there,

Can someone please give me some help with retirement visa.

We are arriving mid December with a 60 day tourist visa from Australia our return ticket isnt until mid March. I think we are able to get that visa extended for another 30 days at an immigration office, is this correct?

We will be staying in a holiday condo for the first 2 months after that we will rent a villa long term.To get a retirement visa i think we will have to have a thai bank account showing the necessary funds have been in that account for 2 months. Is this correct?

I think also that I will need some proof of address and copy of rental agreement, is this correct ?and do I need anything else?

Will we be able to open a bank account whist we are living in the condo for the 1st two months, showing our 60 day visa? or will we have to wait until we find a more permanent house?

hope this isnt too confusing, any help/advice would be much appreciated.. thanks all..
