What is the best visa for my husband to move to Thailand based on our marriage?

@Wannisa ***********

What is the best visa for my husband to move to Thailand based on our marriage?

Steve **********

He's not working for the Amazon business. Any money received from that business is a dividend. Not much different from someone who spends 3 hours per week managing their retirement portfolio.

What are the best ways to transfer money to Thailand to fulfill visa income requirements?

Steve **********

What recent changes in Thai immigration policies affect visa agents and applicants?

Steve **********

I can certainly see how people who paid an agent a large sum to make an extension might feel hostility. But if you're here legally there doesn't seem to be an issue.

Do I need to open a Thai bank account for my Non-O retirement visa instead of using my US Embassy letter?

Steve **********

@Kailash *******

Who told you this? Was it the information desk, the queue ticket desk or the officer at L counter? I just had my retirement extension issued last Wednesday based on the affidavit from the US Embassy.
