What will you have to do to renew in February?

We have Thai Life and have been pleased. It's very affordable. Be warned though that they will not insure over 70 and they don't insure overseas

However, we're from the US and can use medicare if we are there..

Commenting on a post helps to "boost" it so more people see it. Otherwise, sometimes it gets lost in the feed. That's why.

Thanks for the clarification!

Yes. The money must be in a Thai bank and age (at least 3 months I think?). It must stay in the bank almost year round. I think you can withdraw down to 400k, but I'm not sure of the timelines here.

You'll have to get a certified statement from your bank as well.

I'm sure others will chime in here with clarification or corrections.

Buy what we call a "throw away ticket". Super cheap one way to Kuala Lumpur or the like. They may not ask for it, but if you don't have one, it's a sure thing that they will ask.

Do the elite visa until you reach 50. Then retirement.

It would be WAY cheaper to store the stuff your husband can't live without, and start new here. It is hard letting go sometimes, but once here, he will most likely realize you don't need any of it. With the storage option, you can always retrieve it Iater.

Furnishings are super cheap here. All the expats have been in your spot and are advising you. I've been in Thailand for 9 years. We came with 3 back packs. It was great not to have to deal with the "stuff" headache.

I hope you will show him these comments.

Create a LinkedIn profile, and look there. Also look on Glass Door. Prices are VERY cheap here, but salaries aren't as high either.

You can also look for remote jobs to work from anywhere.

Having a physical job in Thailand would require the company to set you up with a Non B visa and work permit (as stated above).

If you're working remotely for a foreign company, you can look at the various types of the LTR (Long term residency) visas.

@Jim *******

you're right. I will correct that.
