Can I open a Thai bank account on a tourist visa before applying for a retirement visa?
Michael ******
I went to Laos and got a three month non-O visa...then you can open an account right away. You have to deposit the required amount of money and have it in there for 2 months before applying. So a small window...

What happens to property ownership if I, a foreigner married to a Thai citizen, die before my wife?
Michael ******
Same question from me...but my thai wife has no children. What if she passes on first? Also, my thai wife, who is concerned about meters, got advice for her to give me a 99 year lease since the house will be in her name. That way I can still live there after she passes. We will buy a home in July. I'm not worried about my thai in-laws, who are all professionals, taking my property...but just to protect me.
