Second question:
I am from states, want to retire to Thailand next year, or year after, to live there full time.
My wife and baby would be traveling with me, as dependents. What visa would I apply for, for a 1 year renewable retirement visa with dependents, and what kind of visa does my wife need?
How much would I have to show proof of having in a US bank account, and how long would I have to move that money to a Thai bank?
I have tried to study this, I realize I need a retirement visa (O?) and my wife would need a OA? (She has US perm residence, may or may not be US citizen by time I want a retirement visa.)
Any idea how her passport nationality plays into her getting a dependent visa to accompany me to Thailand, and do I have to arrange it before getting to Thailand?
thanks for any clues, I know I can talk to Thai consulate, and want to prep.
I assume we/she would need:
* 2 different Visa applications: which ones?
* PP with 6 months or more on it.
* Health insurance proof
* Perm resident card
* proof of assets in US bank or investment broker <- how much?
Anything else?
Then what, this visa is renewable every year?
And if we leave Thailand we need to renew it before leaving?
thx, J-
