What visa options are available for my under-50 Filipina girlfriend to stay permanently in Thailand while I am on a Retirement Visa?

@Jo**

That's what I was told too but I used an Agent for my Wife's Ed visa and did my retirement visa myself and whilst talking to the very helpful Immigration officers they were the ones that told us we could do this and how so that's probably the best thing to do, speak to them.

My WIfe is also a Filipina and under 50, she's doing a 6 month Ed Visa first and then will 'follow' me on my retirement visa as my spouse, not sure if this option is available for a GF though?

What are the costs and processes involved in obtaining a retirement visa and a non-B visa for New Zealand passport holders in Thailand?

Tom ********

You need 800,000 baht each in a bank account or an income of 65K baht per month and in your account for 3 months, if you are on a 'tourist visa' you can switch from that to Non O and then retirement, do it yourself, take your time and work with the immigration office who are there to help you.

What visa options are best for a UK family planning to live in Thailand, especially for a home-schooling setup and Muay Thai training?

Tom ********

My advice if you are thinking of long term living is not to choose an Island as Island life can be challening and limiting at the best of times and more often than not more expensive than the mainland, As for visa speak to a reputable agent or Thai Immigration for the correct advice.
