Talk is about reducing the entry visa free time back to 30 days but if you use a good agent all can be done on 60 days esp as you already have a house presumably registered in your name … copy everything 3 times !!! And one year of uk bank statements is always a good idea

The most

Important thing to bring is patience and a good attitude!!! We still don’t really know about the tax situation on pension income from the uk but I’m sure by the time you get here there will be some clarity… well, we would hope so anyway haha

Leave it til you get here easy then To do retirement visa less requirements than doing from the uk where you’d need things like a police check and insurance etc get 60 days on admission 30 day extension plenty of time to do visa. They’re getting strict on outward bound tickets after the 90 days so keep that in mind a bus ticket to Laos will suffice so not a big loss

You’ll still need to open a bank account and have the required amt of money put in to it

Until it’s made official and carved in stone it’s still 60 days… leave ot til nearer the time

If you can afford it you can bring with you but will need home with a garden

I have six cats here and a garden and they’re indoors by 6 pm as many stray unneutered cats/ dogs around so for me their safety is paramount!

Don’t believe what youve been told!

Confirm it on Thai embassy web site

Make sure you get your bank book updated on the day or day before also

Technically you need a ticket out of Thailand and they don’t like to see more than 2 extensions in one year
