They live amongst us Tod. Best advise just ignore them, let them go to the police and get laughed out the door.

thanks good advice Tod, combo seems a bit hit and miss. So I’ll be looking at a 90-day Non-Immigrant, then applying for Retirement visa using $800k seasoned method. Maybe change to Marriage visa after first year, should give me time to get everything together and translated where necessary

I’m trying to understand this as well as we are looking to retire in Thailand in the near future. The info I have states there are currently three options for the 1 year extension of the Retirement Visa; 1. $800k method (pretty straight forward), 2. income/pension of $65k a month OR 3. income/pension and money in Thai bank which comes to a combined total of at least $800k baht. Using option 3 if your income/pension totals at least $800k baht for the year does that satisfy the financial requirement or do you still need additional funds banked? Also is there a requirement to retain an amount in the bank account throughout the year? Any info would be appreciated from anyone who has been down this track

yes baht
