download the app and make sure your cards are connected before you leave.

why would you need to inform your IRS? You would still be paying taxes in the US?

@Stephen ****

thanks, but the requirements is a contract for the assignment but I don’t have it yet and may not have it until til I leave the country.

Question: can you get a retirement visa AND still work as a digital nomad?

I am over 55, have more than enough to meet the economic requirements but I am in discussions about working on contract 10-20 hrs a week.

I looked at the other visa option but I don’t have the history of the funds coming and/or I don’t plan to pull those funds (other than 800k baht ) for the visa into the country

Look in the mirror. If you look like you have no money you will be asked more questions

I don’t get much grief now but traveling to the Europe when I was younger I was grilled. I suspect it’s similar in Asia as I wasn’t asked for anything on most of my trips last year (

old rich white dude? Next….

Is about the same but in metric instead of ounces

You might also need to show you have a place to stay (it’s not consistent) and sometimes a return ticket out but the return ticket is more often requested by the agent checking you into your flight from the departure country

@Graham *****

so a high interest account that you can acess within 24 hrs is not an option I guess

Thanks

@Tim *******

it’s probably not worth risking it for 1500-2000 a year. I keep a large balance anyway but figured I park it and never touch it so might as well let it work it a little

@Graham *****

thanks
