Ok Im new here, trying to sort through different visas and requirements.

I'm 64, in Texas, there no embassy near me but there is a " Royal Thai Consulate" in Dallas. I'm planning to retire next year and looking to move to SEA. I dont like the idea of a large amount of my money held hostage as in Philippines. I'm thinking the DTV would be best. So here are some thing I cant get straight.

1-as I understand it the DTV does not require the big deposit, is that correct?

A-it requires proof of minimum of 65,000 tbht

B- does it have to be to a thai bank or can i show statements from my US bank?

2- under soft power there is mention of use of medical facilities or wellness resort can qualify. can someone clarify wellness resort?

3- do you have to continue to prove income every time you renew for the 5 year term? Not a problem, just clarifying

I am in Jomtien and am having GERD-like symptoms that persist. Can anyone recommend a reputable medical facility for DX/treatment?

I have decided to move to Pattaya, looking for Pros and Cons!

To get a long term Residency, I am willing to invest the required amount, need to know a cost effective Visa. How are the Medical facilities in Pattaya vs Bangkok?

How good/cost effective are the Medical/Health Insurance Providers?

I am informed that as an Expatriate I cannot buy a villa but can buy a Condo! Is that correct?

On the basis of investing in a Condo, can I get long term Residency?

We ARE CANADIAN’S 🇨🇦 (retiree’s) looking to retire in Amazing Thailand 🇹🇭 in the 6 months. Would some wonderful person on this forum KINDLY give us the name or contact COMPANY for our required THAI HEALTH CARE?

Cheers and THANK YOU
