I read the post a different way. The OP is saying if he has to renew every couple of months he’s not interested. He’s from same country as me so I think I’ve understood him differently to you.

The simple answer is….

Both marriage Visa and retirement visa suit your situation, there are plus’s and minus!s to both.

Retirement visa is easier to apply for but you need to put 800k bht in the bank.

Marriage visa has way more paperwork but only need 400k in the bank.

Both are renewable annually and you have to report to immigration every 90 days just to confirm your status hasn’t changed.

Poor Toddy doesn’t like being called stupid 😭. Doesn’t like being challenged either. Shut up you baby. Cry, whinge, sob, sniffle. What an ego, get over yourself. I bet if u were chocolate, you’d eat yourself. 🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡

@Todd ********

Shows how childish you are to make assumptions about other people’s situations. I can see your butt really gets hurt when others disagree with your posts. Looks like you need to get your ego in check, little boy. 🤣🤡

@Todd ********

You keep telling yourself that big boy, they’ll be coming for you soon enough. Btw, NOTHING owns my life, I don’t have to get visas or anything else in this country by the back door.

First thing first, using an agent isn’t strictly playing by immigration rules but it’s tolerated (for now) by the highest officials, so no problem for those that go down this route.

Until…. As in your case, you want to move from using an agent to doing it yourself and move to using the 65k p/m option. Your renewal ‘could’ be hampered because when you go to renew your visa, immigration will see that you didn’t have the 800k in your Thai bank account as required to fulfil the terms to acquire that visa. I would argue in the current climate, it’s unlikely but ‘possible’ you ‘could’ be deemed as having overstayed with an invalid visa.

@Todd ********

I’d challenge your description of ‘perfectly legal’. Not having 800k in your bank for the stated time required to satisfy the terms of the visa, is breaking immigration rules. If you’re breaking the rules then your visa isn’t (legally?) valid.

Aw no need to for the profanity Stewy 🤣🤣

@Stewart *****

Ha ha, spoken like you got rolled over by a lady boy 🤣🤣🤣
