We are a British couple (over 50) who have taken early retirement and are considering relocating to Koh Samui.
We currently live in Northern Cyprus so do not have access to a Thai Embassy/Consulate in order to apply in person for a 90 non immigrant O visa prior to arriving in Thailand.
I have looked at the Thai E-Visa website to try to apply online but I cannot see this visa type as an option (just a long stay OA visa or a Tourist visa).
My question is if we arrive on an initial 60 day Tourist visa will I be able to open a bank account with this visa type, in order to then meet the financial requirements to apply in Koh Samui for the non immigrant O visa, and subsequent extension?
I am currently on Koh Samui and I am looking for a 'soft power' course, that is eligible to apply for a DTV visa. Preferably sports, but not MT. (language school if eligible).
Does anyone of you know a place here on the island, that has at best already experience with approved applicants?
Also, do you guys know if 'Thai language' course can fall under the DTV category or will that require an edu visa?
Not sure if this is the right page, but i wanted to ask if there is anyone on here who owns a condo here on koh Samui. We are looking to possibly buy one at the Bay Condominiums near Bangrak, and have a few questions regarding how much we can expect to rent it out at and taxes both here and in Australia that are not being answered well enough by the realestate companies.
I have recently got DTV visa and will be living at Koh Samui island. I do have an international driving licence for bikes. As my research, for owning a green book I need to have a residential document. But for that, I have to stay at least 3 months. Is it possible for me to purchase a bike and then do the paper work after I got the residential document ? Thank you.
