I may be wrong but the funds for a farang quota condo must come from abroad and not from a Thai account to qualify.

Is it harder to get a retirement visa in Thailand compared to retiring in Mexico?

Rok ********

Financial requirements for Mexico’s temporary residency have increased hugely over last few years and regularisation programme has just been stopped. True, residency is very easy to obtain if you meet the “economic solvency”. Mexico is very different from Thailand though.

Is it an issue to have a return flight 89 days after arrival in Thailand with a 60-day visa exemption?

Rok ********

I always worry about the airline not allowing me to check in albeit i only had a sticky situation once (Bali to Manila). I just bought a cheap single ticket Manila to Jeju Island eventhough onwardticket.com solution would be probably just as good. Never been asked by immigration authorities though.
