79/thailand-tightens-reporting-of-nonresident-cash-inflows

"The central bank has not set a specific target for the baht’s value and cannot manipulate the currency due to international agreements, he added."

I find this funny seeing as its fiat currency its all manipulation by arbitrary factors

Interesting article - I also rember a few months back the finance ministry warned of something similar relating to exports of goods would fall at the end of the year with the baht rising - they proposed plans to control the baht - as exporters wanted the USD to remain between 32 to 35 on the USD. The tourist minister also confirmed this desire to help increase tourism but the idea was shot down

Now im seeing articles like this come up in alot of places warning of exports at risk for thailand and it seems to have caught the attention of a few people as they are wanting tighter restrictions on gold sale

Meet the requirements and follow process - the amount of paper will be determined which way you go - savings or monthly deposit of 65,000 baht or combination of both

Thai retirement visa requires 50 they wont care about your country retirement age. Im 41 from america retired at 37 - retirement age is alot older. If you have the income requirements and age you can still apply for the visa. - and this is going to start shit but im gonna say this again

You DO NOT NEED the savings requirement ( its just the more common less paper work route ) if you make the income requirements the requirements is

Savings

Or

Income

Or

Mix of both

Here comes the trolls in 3...2.....1...
