What can I do to ensure my girlfriend can access my Bangkok Bank account if I pass away?

I wonder why this group is called Thailand Visa Advice|DTV|Retirement & More and not the Don’t Ask Questions Here group? Or the just Google It and Get 100 Different Answers Group?

Is the 60-day visa exemption for Thailand still valid for upcoming weeks?

@Oussama ******

I thought E Visa is just a system. Electronic visa application system, not a type of visa . 60 - 30 days is speaking to VISA EXEMPT ENTRY. It’s not a type of visa.

It will be reverted back to 30 days but not sure when. Some say by end of year.🤷🏽‍♂️ Your guess is probably as good as anyone else’s

Should we each have our own bank accounts or a joint account for our retirement visa in Thailand?

@Mark *********

I’m paying an agent. I’m just wanting to avoid filling out paperwork. I had a stroke and I write like a 5 year old now. Barely legible as far as I’m concerned. Compared to my very neat writing pre stroke.

@Vincent ********

ok . I’ve just have never heard of a 90 day visa for retirement. I’m on a path to a retirement visa too and wasn’t sure if it was something I hadn’t researched.

I thought it is 60 day visa exempt status (depending on your country of origin) and you can get a 30 day extension?

Can I use a 90-day tourist visa to apply for a retirement extension in Thailand?

I am assuming you’ve never had a stroke that leaves your hand wobbling. I do practice printing my name. It is not something that is just managed. Months of therapy had no impact.

@Nongnuch *******

it’s not that I can’t meet the requirements it’s that I have a disability. I guess you skimmed over that part

Albert ********

I expected to pay a good bit because it is all stuff I really would want done right and frankly, just have someone else do it. I have an impairment with my dominant hand and I’m not to good at filling in forms any longer. It is a rather difficult task and my 6 year old granddaughter writes more legible

@Nongnuch *******

So if I’ve been given a quote for $800 USD I should jump on it? He said he’d do all of those things you mentioned and set me up with a real estate agent to look at condos.
