I bet slightly above average in Thailand, due to: 🍻🍺🍻

@David *******
it doesn’t cost 800k. Only need to have that amount on a Thai account in your name.

Lastly: If you are fine with leaving Thailand every 180 or 360 days for a bit or to do a border bounce, you can also look into the newest DTV - Destination Thailand Visa. Cheap and easy to get for 5 years.

Else, go the yearly extension way if you are 50+. All you need is 800k baht put in a Thai bank account for that.

@Brian ********
I’d say start by looking into this. If you can meet the requirements it should be the best option.

The Elite visa is quite expensive and does not justify its price anymore - as better and cheaper options exist.

LTR has to be pre-approved by the BOI in Thailand and can be obtained within Thailand, too. Yearly extensions based on retirement will also be done in Thailand at a local immigration office.

Elite visa if so solvent that you wouldn’t mind throwing money out of the window.

LTR visa if solvent enough. Non-O retirement visa and annual extensions if ok solvent.
