What is the easiest visa option for a 52-year-old expat moving to Thailand?

Ian ********

************************************************

Have a look on The Thai visa website.

You can create an account and apply for a Non O visa for the purpose of retirement, then once you have a 90 day visa, opening a bank account is much easier when you arrive.

Ian ********

Why not just apply for 90 day Non O visa in your home country, and then if you feel like you want to stay, open a bank account, put the funds in (800k) and extend for a year, that would be the cheapest route. I started with an ED visa and wished I went the Non O route from the start, much less hassle than TV and ED visa.
