Can I transfer 500,000 baht to my friend for the DTV (Soft Power) Visa application, or does he need to maintain it in his account for a certain period?

@John *********

I don’t think so, it will still be enough of a barrier to deter the bottom rungs of people and they’re clamping down on the border runs at the same time. I think it will help to keep out the worst of the worst from staying too long.

What is the best way to manage my visa situation in Thailand while awaiting my parental rights after the birth of my daughter?

Kate *******

@John ********

even in the UK this wasn’t the case until the early 2000’s when the law changed. It’s very normal in many places that only the mother has parental rights if the couple isn’t married.

Can you relocate to Thailand on social security income alone with limited savings?

Kate *******

You could get a loan for the amount they need to see in your bank and then just pay it straight back once you’ve got your visa. Might need to keep it for a few months so you can show the balance on a few statmenfs.

What additional costs do you incur when buying a condo in Thailand beyond the purchase price and CAM fees?

Kate *******

@Stephen *******

this is my view and I’m looking at older buildings so you can see how well they’re managed, they’re often bigger and better built too. I’m only 40 so financially it makes sense if it’s a base I want to have there long term.
