You may have been married long enough to know her. So go for it.

I have tried.

We gave up because the teller gave us a list of things they needed and we decided that it’s not worth it 😂

She has access to my banking apps. That’s a lot easier.

ymmv though

Get the visa when you’re home. You don’t need an agent. It’s is simple and straight forward.

Only if you have too much money and don’t want to wait in line

Yes there is. Go to the immigration office and apply for it.

BTW. You get a “visa” when outside the country. It allows you to enter the country.

Once you’re there you can be allowed to stay longer than the stamp you got when entering.

That is called an “extension of stay”.

@Jack *******

Define fraud.

And you will understand that there can’t be fraud in filling a form and then not using it.

No. It’s not passive income.

It’s the same as a job or making money from trading stocks.

Edit: only pension, rentals or dividends are passive income.

@Lawrence *******

You haven’t followed the story of the guy who got sued by the hotel because of a bad review, right?

3 is not an option if you want to come back to Thailand.

As others said. Get a NonO from the visa site. Retirement if you can, otherwise marriage.

For retirement you need to be 50+ and best have 800k to spare. Enter the country, open account, deposit the 800k (make sure that the bank can identify it as foreign money!), and do the extension near the end of your 90 day visa. You can do it with 65k per month but ask your immigration for that just after arriving!

Otherwise: marriage visa where you need only 400k in the bank.

If you have the money, go for elite visa or LTR, but that’s on another level.

Just don’t enter on visa exempt because you can’t open an account as a tourist.

@Willem ***

Not?

I did.

Edit: and I did it wrong on first try, believing that it’s an average of 65k. But it wasn’t. Must be 65k each and every month. So I started twice on basis of the 65k monthly.

@Jeff ******

Which variant is that for 50k?

I was hoping that it is as straight forward as you tell me.

Feeling reassured.

Thanks 🙏🏽
