@Tod ********

Thank you so much. I didn't want to arrive in Thailand without all the relevant documentation.

@Tod ********

Thank you, as it is my intention to retire to Thailand i shall be applying for all that you have mentioned. My question to you is what documentation, other than my passport and driving licence, do i need to bring with me from Britain to facilitate this process.

It would be a kind act of goodness to give it to the first down at heel thai you come across.

If you choose to buy a house it won't be in your name. Therefore put your name on the lease, if done for a period of 30 years, you have the right to live there and it prevents the owner selling the title deed from under you.

John, I am waiting to travel to Thailand also. It's no use thinking of travelling in the near future. Thailand is way behind in tackling covid19. I estimate two years before unrestricted travel is possible to Thailand. You will need Visa's, a ninety day visa to go out there on then after 60 days go to thai immigration and apply for an extension for a year. You'll need money in a thai bank, £20,000, or approximately £1650 per month going into your thai bank account. The best and only place to ask is the thai embassy. Give them a call.

What does the lease agreement actually mean. Does it give you the sole right to live in the property if the relationship fails or your both still living there?. Does it mean that you have the sole right and she needs to find alternative accommodation.?
