Don't think they're saying you can't travel around, but you do have to have a residence you call home. Also don't think they're saying that you can't change your residence, but that requires doing the appropriate paperwork for immigration when you do. To be evasive when asked by immigration, sure that going to not go well.

Kim Pfefferi there actually is 90 day reporting having to do with your tm30/residence.

Thailand has had all these rules for decades, but only recently started strict enforcement. Really this doesn't seem like that difficult an issue to deal with.

Assuming that you're planning to live in Thailand, do 2 things today.

Put your house up for sale, and do some combination of heloc, credit card advance to meet the 800k. With current exchange volatility I'd plan on 820k, keep that in bank. Put a clause in sales agreement that seller reserves the right to occupy the property for 60? Days after sale.... a very standard condition. Sell the house, pay off laoan(s) upon closing. You probably will have all your 90 days before your property closes. Get your visa, move to Thailand. If property hasn't sold or delayed you can close remotely via zoom from Thailand. I sold a us property while in Thailand and used zoom, no issues, not complicated.

Terry Brown nobody quotes the price because every agent has a different price and also depends on exactly what you want/ need.

Has to be in a regular bank account in the applicants name, for at least 3 months.

Your Australian insurance is very heavily subsidized by your federal government, as Thailand also does for their citizens, but why would you think Thailand would want to subsidize your insurance?

Gayaanan Jeyanathan heavily depends on your age. I'm old enough that my cost estimate is well over $1k usd/month

If you don't have the 800k equivalent you'll be denied. You can't do the income method the 1st year, has to be the 800k.

You don't mention what part of Thailand you're in, what country you're from, or how long you have left on your current 60 day ???

Probably in today's environment, unless you use a visa agent, you're just not going to be able to do it. It really doesn't hurt to go talk to one, for specifics, and then you'll know. Find one that's reputable, and not the cheapest one you can find. If you post what city you're in, it's possible for someone to recommend one for you.

Unclear what you are asking. If you already have a bank account in your home country??? Wow can't imagine anyone that wouldn't have that, assuming that they have the necessary funds... it's a lot of cash.to keep in you desk at home.

If you're asking if you already have a thai bank account. Close to impossible, because you're required to have some form of long-term visa.to get a thai bank account. So please clarify the question and if it's a real life situation or just something to speculate about.
