Hello. My wife and I are in the planning phase of our retirement to Thailand (from Canada). This is approximately 3 years away.

Is there a site or video series that anyone can recommend that lists the recommended steps? We have a reasonably good idea of the requirements but not the steps, the order and timelines.

We plan to use an agent as I assume that will make things more efficient and painless. I think it's too early for an agent but I could be wrong. I assume 6 months prior.

Has anyone successfully applied for DTV to get long-term physical therapy or orthopedic back treatment in Thailand?

I have heard about many different ways to obtain the DTV, but nothing specifically related to PT. Thanks.🙏

Hello everyone, I’m seeking medical treatments to obtain a DTV and would like to know does it include dental procedures such as orthodontic treatments like braces? Does the total cost have to meet a specific amount? If so, any recommendations that will provide a treatment plan letter?

I received my dvt today . I applied in Budapest for medical . I didn’t provided bank statement but statement of my reoccurring payment schedule and my insurance information. I uploaded my hotel booking and my treatment plan . I actually went to Bangkok hospital and had a treatment plan done .

In my opinion, visiting first and researching the areas, as well as inquiring about requirements, is the best approach for me.

As a retired federal employee and Veteran, reading these posts can be overwhelming and disappointing due to some providing valuable advice while others make condescending remarks towards those unfamiliar with the process.

Not everyone has 800,000 Baht to invest in a Thai account, similarly, Portugal requires $10,000. Social media is making it seem as tho this is the place to be and have people jumping on planes , moving and not doing proper researching or planning. Why, because all they are seeing is low rent, food etc which will change the more people move there.

I prefer not to rely on another country's resources by coming there with no income. I would like to hear more from some of the men/women veterans who have moved to Thailand and retired. What do you do for VA appointments etc.? What visa they have?

I am seeking an stress-free environment without depleting my monthly retirement benefits.

peace and a stress-free lifestyle
