For me it would be twenty five years at, let's say, ฿15,000+ p.a..

Another facet to look at is, if you start down the agent road, you're likely to use them every year and they cost a lot. I'm here on a marriage extension, but if it were a retirement one with an agent, I'd be in for ฿400,000.00, nearly 10 grand stirling.

You're making problems where none exist.

IF you have the required ฿800,000 then just follow the procedures to get a non-o visa, and then a twelve month extension. There are certain conditions with regard to the funds you bank.

Once you have the twelve month extension, you need to report your address every ninety days, the first time in person, thereafter on-line.

It's pretty simple.

If you don't have the funds, then you'll have to use an agent, who will magic a bank letter to show you have 800k in the bank.

Repeat: if you have the money, DO IT YOURSELF..

I've been here forty years, so my Thai, conversation, reading and writing, is pretty reasonable.

Why do you ask?

First, you learn how to spell 'nationality'....

Do you mean A DENTURE OR A TELESCOPIC BRIDGE?

Make sure it has a seven day cooling off period, buy it, cancel it and get a refund.

Can it be done by post, as in Jomtien?

Thanks chaps...
