I can start whatever unit from outside with a small remote switch in home automation

@Michael *******

Will look. Although I also don’t sit in the wind

@Michael *******

What is “Wind free”?

I mean an aircon needs to blow out the cooled air. Thus it moves the air and we feel that as wind.

It’s way less than a fan, but that’s true for all of our 4 aircon.

@Jordee *****

All he said is that you would get better answers elsewhere. And that 100% true.

Not many ppl who live here look at visa info. There’s better groups with way more expats for this question

oh! And I wouldn’t let them fake the money (if it’s even possible right now). You won’t have proof of your own money in the future. So you’re stuck with bribing forever.

Almost too much.

You wrote that you have everything.

Bank statement with 65k monthly over a year or 800k over 2-3 months?

Bank certification?

Passport?

Passport pic?

That should be all as far as I remember.

Takes 15-30 minutes plus waiting time at the immigration.

Pay 1900 and you’re good. If you leave the country more than 3 times per year, get a multiple reentry for 3800.

Otherwise you can get it every time you leave for 1000 at the airports.

That’s sensational.

The branch in BigC buriram couldn’t do it. The lady showed me exactly 6 months to the day and said a he can’t do more than that, she needs to order it.

@Phil ******

Have you tried recently? No.

I had all year sent to me via app on 20th December.

Now I can’t do more than 6 months.

Went to the branch and even they couldn’t. Had to wait a week to get last years statement for the revenue department.

Concerning the phone. You can buy a SIM card in 711

As many said, you need to start with 800k. I would do that right from the embassy, because the money is in your US bank anyway.

Then after a year you sure can switch to monthly income.

Here’s my reasoning:

1. You must prove what comes into your Thai bank account from abroad.

2. Your wife has enough and you miss a little.

3. Let your wife send the missing from her US account to your Thai account, and you’re good !

Hint: keep US account (or a lot better: Wise account). You pay tax on money coming into Thailand, but if you pay with Wise credit card nobody sees that ;)

But very important!!!!

Make sure that you have enough USD income so that you can send the 2x65k each and every month even if the USD crashes. We’ve seen the GBP/THB being halved within 20 years.

That’s my reason to have 800k in a Thai bank. I have more than twice the needed income, but god forbid, we don’t know the future, and we (wife and me) can live here from 30k easily if need be, but my visa would be lost.
