Do I need separate Thai bank accounts for visa purposes if I have a joint account with my defacto spouse?
Matts

@Brandon

the benefit of a joint account is that it is immediately available when one of you dies
either 800k in an individual account or 1.6m in a joint account
How does $3000 USD per month equate to living expenses in Thailand?
Matts
*************
You can get a retirement visa if you have 65k/month
So that’s obviously enough to live here
Some people spend half of that, some spend double that amount
It’s all about your lifestyle
I used to have a 50k condo in Bangkok
Now I live better and healthier in a 5k apartment in Rayong, saving most of my 65k pension
I’m ten minutes from an international airport, and 30
minutes from the top tier hospitals in Pattaya

If you’re connecting to the company vpn, they can see your location whenever you connect
