I live 6 months in Thailand and 6 months in the USA for the past 3 years.

If you have B800k to deposit in your Thai bank account, that is the best way for us. Remember…B65k a month’s times 12 months is B780k, they are both virtually the same, but if you have a problem and need to return to the US for a longer term, it could take months to stop the B65k monthly transfers.

I dd 3 years ago on a Non-O marriage visa. I didn’t know to get a re-entry stamp so my visa was voided when I left Thailand. I learned.

I did last year on a 30 day visa exemption, plus a 30 day extension. Then I applied for a 60 day tourist e-visa while visiting Korea. I arrived in Thailand before I received the tourist visa, so another 30 day visa exemption, then a border run (in Cambodia for 20 minutes) to activate my 60 day tourist visa and a 30 day extension to get me 6 months of Thailand. This worked better than I expected.

Currently I arrived 6 weeks ago on a Non-O marriage visa that I renew soon to get a 1 year extension.

If you don’t look destitute you can game the system a little bit.

Always try to get the correct visa for your situation.

I hope my experience gives you some good ideas.

Sounds like you plan to work illegally in Thailand. You will be easy to identify as coming to Thailand for illegal activities.

Is the law firm in Thailand? Is the purpose of the job offer to practice law in Thailand?

Foreigners are not allowed to practice law in Thailand.

The answer is self evident.

I use the lowest price plan from T-Mobile and the highest price plan from AIS. Switching between the two is fast and simple.

In the US there are financial institutions that have television commercials offering to purchase your life insurance policy. I suppose they do the math and come up with a life expectancy vs the cash value of the policy vs expected payments up till death. Since we all die someday, getting the cash at the end of life is a mathematical certainty.

The point of that is, I don’t believe you need a relative to get the value of your policy after death. The beneficiary needs to know how to navigate the claim process.

On my own, I don’t think I could do it in a foreign country unless being a highly educated person.

@Johnny *******

if you need more information, I recommend you PM me. My Thai wife can help. She did all of the work to get the K1. I stood by on the sidelines speechless and in awe.

The company that helps you for an enormous amount of money can only be in the shadows. You do all the Bangkok US embassy visits on your own. You do all the interviews on your own. If you try to breathe through someone else’s nose, you are setting yourself up for failure.

You have to do it on your own.

The US embassy Bangkok will tell you that you have to return to the US to mail the first form from the US because they will only accept it if it is mailed domestically. That is true. So, I filled out the form and mailed it to my Mother (in the US) and told her to put it in an envelope and mail it. I did not return to the US to mail it. I waited in Thailand. My wife got her K1 in 120 days from start to finish.

I also did not understand the question. But, if I had to come up with an answer, it would be zero. Zero days remaining means your visa is no longer valid.

You go get it dude!
