Thats very expensive for a DTV someone on early post said he paid for a muay thai course and then applied. Retirement should be 1900 baht a year if you have everything, if you going through agent and dont have funds its more than 8 to 12 k a year

@Assad ******

Need lot of money in bank or good income since you asking about working i would presume you dont have

@Assad ******

No working

Why not get DTV and just use for five years ?

Or do you want retirement for bank account licenses etc

Multi entry tourist visa is 6 months 60 days at a time although correct timing can get nearly 9 months out of it.

Dont think there are multi entry O visas now available unfortunately. There is the OA visa which is valid for a year bit has insurance and stuff like that.

OA entry can be for whole year or as long as your insurance is valid i have known people get nearly 2 years with this visa

Do you want a civil marriage ?

If so need to go british embassy to make an affirmation for marriage i believe its called. This was the longest step for us.

We used a company near British embassy at that time (express translations) to get what we needed translated. Got them to go to MFA as well to get it all certified.

Next steps i forgot
