Thank you for your reply. Do we have to go to Bkk or is it all done online?

@Roy ********

Nope. I meant as

@Stuart ********

understood and explained.

@Stuart ********

Thank s for the reply. I’m in Phuket. I should have worded it better I think. Distance doesn’t matter as I’m prepared to fly anywhere. Just want a place that I can turn up on the day with the correct documents and get the visa.

@Jonathan ******

Used to also be able to get an Ed visa for Muy Thai. Can also check that option.

@Sophie *****

Go to your home country online application site. All required docs are listed.

I always apply one month before I fly. Usually arrives a week to 10 days after submitting the application.

@Eric ******

Can I ask school do you use?

Yes but also need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP). This is the document police mostly ask for. I’ve been stopped 4 times this year and they never once asked to see my licence, only my IDP.

Not sure where you get them in Spain but in UK, you can pick one up at the post office for a fiver.

I’m a UK property investor who lives in Phuket. KEEP YOUR HOME! and do the following.

1. Appoint a very good rental agent in UK to find you a good long term tenant.

2. Rent a place in Thailand

Reasons…

There is no advantage to having a Thailand home over a UK home, if you can use a UK home to pay for a place to live in Thailand.

Your UK home will always be there if ever you need to go back.

Your UK home will have capital appreciation way higher than any Thailand property.

You can have the best of both worlds by keeping a residence in UK but renting in Thailand.

Renting in Thailand means you can move easy enough if for some reason, a particular area you chose doesn’t fit anymore.

If you are determined to buy a property in Thailand, do you have enough equity in your home to split buy? This means buy a property in Thailand but also have enough money to also buy a UK investment property. This gives you a monthly Uk rental income and a residence back in UK should you ever need to go back.
