No currently we are just doing Visa Runs every few months but it gives us a chance to check out other countries around Thailand. I am to young as far as I know to get a retirement Visa.
I am also a retired Vet with a wife and 3 kids. We live in Bangkok for now. We moved here 4 months ago. If you have any specific questions please don't hesitate to ask. One thing I will say is that ensure you math out the cost and logistics of your visa plan
Bro you know what's crazy is that I watched about 100 YouTube videos and called the embassy in the us and talked to them and they all just said you can get one once you get there. It's all good though they probably just did under what I was looking for. I will just go to another country or something.
