Michael Dawson read your own bleeding comment "get OA retirement visa".

Michael Dawson if oa retirement visa you will need 800,000 thai baht (aprprox. 25,000 US) in Thai bank. Continuous or prove monthly income of at th of that every month to sustain visa after 1 year. Friend had no payment one month but two on the first of the next month. A few hoops were jumped through before he got visa renewed. These kind of issues can depend on the individual immigration you get or you location, don't depend on it though.

Wannikea Wanblee not in Chiang Mai province. Can be quite chilly in the first few months of the year. Cold for Thais and bracing for farang :)

thailand foreign owned small business restrictions.

Enter above into google searxh and rea.

Peter Abell not a bad summation. Chiang Mai require a hand drawn map of house location on official form. 2 full sets one having all original documents (color copies ok except for bank cover note and last 6 month statement)

Make sure you know what your chosen bank requires for opening an account. The banks have tightened up the requirements over the last 10 years.

Steve Carter incorrect, if you have a permanent address, no need to re-file.

BC Farang glad to see you are plugged into the high levels of immigration and police!

And "MAY" "?" indicates non-definitive
