I'm far from skint.

Why wouldn't I just invest the "spare" 400,000 baht instead?

Yes, I like "free money", that doesn't mean that I'm broke.

@Jack *******
why would you assume that I can't afford the 800K?

If I'm getting married why wouldn't I explore the marriage visa?

@Jack *******
I'm a British and American citizen.

I went to the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok a couple of weeks ago. I have my certified copy of Marriage Affidavit and passport. I'm now getting the affidavit translated for 500 baht.

What additional hassle?

A visit from immigration?

We have zero problem with a visit, why would we?

my gf received hers last week. For the second time. Many people think that I'm some kind of "beast" because they wrongly assume that she's in her mid 20's. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I will say that we were very careful with the paperwork. Cross every t and dot every i.

what “extra hassle” is there?

I’m currently on a retirement visa but planning on getting married before my next renewal.

Go to your local amphur and ask them for a list of what you need.

We did that a few weeks ago. All that I needed to get was a document that says that I'm not married. Had to go the the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok to do that.

yep. Using an agent instead of using your own funds is a really bad idea.
