What steps should I take to secure a retirement visa for Thailand when I don't have specific travel plans?

Damien ********

On the 60 day visa application just put your fly in date and make up a flight number 59 days after arrival.

For an address just put a hotel name in Bangkok

They don’t check flight numbers or hotels

Or arrive visa exempt and apply for retirement straight away

How can I open a Thai bank account without a retirement visa?

Damien ********

@Steve *********

opening a bank account with an agent

Is participating in the system !

Opening a bank account yourself and paying for insurance that you don’t need so the bank manager can get his bonus is both

Manipulative and part of the system !!
