How difficult is it for a US citizen married to a Thai resident to live in Thailand?

Kent *********

Best way to do this is put, about $11,000 into your American Bank account, apply for a 90 day VISA. Go to Thailand open a bank account with Bangkok Bank in your name, then apply for a multi entry marriage Visa, transfer 400,000 baht to Bangkok bank for yearly renewal and as another has stated check immigration website for exact info…

Do you need a US social security number to open a bank account in Thailand?

Kent *********

Yup, I did everything on my own it was about a 1hr 30 min process at Bangkok Bank, needed SSN, IDs passport, letter from immigration, filled out a tax form, then gave blood, finger printed, did a retina scan, DNA test on the spot, sung the national anthem. Ok not the last part but man it took a while, just go with the flow.

How can I get registered for immigration if my landlord doesn't know about TM30?

Kent *********

On another note maybe taking the landlord to lunch and then immigration with the appropriate paperwork would solve the problem.

What documents are required for a 30-day tourist visa extension in Thailand?

Kent *********

I just did my 30 day extension in Nong Bua Lum Phu. I handed them my paperwork and first question was who are you staying with? About then my wife walked in and handed over a copy of the house book and her ID. Probably took me ten minutes and I was out the door, fast service.

Kent *********

Being from the states I do something that was previously mentioned and works out well for me, 60 day TR visa prior to coming to Thailand, then a 30 day extension, cheap and fairly easy to do…
