Can my Thai friend travel to Finland with a tourist visa if I send an invitation?

Derek *******

Easier for you to go to Thailand. Even under normal conditions, it’s not easy for a Thai to visit Finland if you are not married (or if she is not rich). (I am a Finnish citizen also, Canadian-Finn). Or getting her to come through another Schengen country, like Holland, might be easier.

Is it necessary to have both 800,000 Baht in the bank and 65,000 Baht monthly income for a Thai retirement visa, or can I use just one of these requirements?

@Gary *********

doesn’t it mean that you must have a minimum of 800k and you can touch it (take money out) as long as that 800k minimum is maintained?
