Or use an agent at a cost - 25 - 35k bhat....

@Aja ******

it's a bit complicated - you will need to open a bank account here in your name only and deposit 0 bhat. That will hv to season for 2 months before and 3 months after your application for visa. Or you may be able to apply before, but to proceed you will need the $ seasoned for those time periods. Outside that it can drop to 0+ . Yes accounts individual only

U can buy almost anything here, so travel light. They love dogs here, plenty of vets and animal hospitals and cat cafés etc. Even a special dog walking zone in bkk Park!

Hua Hin is a nice spot I guess. You'll need 0 bhat in Thai bank, u should be able to apply from embassy fir Non O or Non A visa for retirement. Non O easier. Or you can do in Thailand. Or u can use agency....

No, 60 day TV and extend 30.

@Cj ******

nah you meant u were gonna do him over didn't you?

Slightly off topic but relevant to last post about the interest. Does anyone know of high interest accounts that don't require residence in ones country of origin or at least where one has his / her main bank account?

I hv a high interest account in the uk, but the rules state I have to reside there in the uk. I was economical with the truth and hope they don't find out I'm here in Thailand long term now, as technically they could close my account....
