How did I obtain my retirement visa extension in Thailand?

Chris *****

How much did the agent charge you for this? I paid 1900 + 1900 thb for all of this by doing it on my own. I speak fluent Thai out of respect to Thai people and culture. Agent ofc can be useful for some 🙏

Do I need to maintain 800k THB in my account for 2 or 3 months before applying for my retirement visa extension in Thailand?

Chris *****

For simplicity sake, I recommend to park your 800k thb in a separate savings account & don't touch it. It will give you peace of mind & immigration will also see that you can easily afford to live in Thailand. 800k isn't much anyway 🙏 Your question already has been answered by other members.

What can I do about my high electricity bill in Thailand?

Chris *****

You are most likely being "scammed". By Thai law only the bill cost of the meter can be charged. Same for water & Wifi 🙏

Can expats buy a house or condo in Thailand using owner financing?

Chris *****

Simply agree on paying in installments over 30 year period. Likely Thai owner will ask a higher lease period price. It's not officially (in legal terms) a loan but solves the problem if you can't pay cash upfront 🙏
