Cris ******

I wouldn't have it directly deposited over. If the baht tanks or goes up. There are good times to transfer and bad. Been here two years and seen the baht go from 29 to 37. That can be a lot of money lost or gained.

Cris ******

A lot of. Legit motorbike shops can do the process for you. Sounds like you were getting scammed. I bought a scooter. They just took copies of my stuff. Went to the DLT for me. And 2 weeks later. Got my green book with my name in it etc.

What visa options should I consider for moving to Thailand as a remote worker in 2025?

Cris ******

Interesting how people make their plans but don't research really the 1 big part of moving here. Unless you get the LTR visa, which is very expensive, you realistically can't work here. There are ways around it... but ya.

Is it a problem to travel to Thailand on a one-way ticket while applying for a retirement visa?

Cris ******

Try to get info from a visa center or something to show you will get a retirement visa. If they ask and you show some form of that's your plan I don't think they will pry to much
