I've been back in 4 times and not been asked up to yet.

@Chris ******

it's just a much bigger market, more tourists, more farang living there.

@James *******

Based on her passing first🤷‍♂️😂 (possibly). I suppose, on 4k a month and presuming she could produce the 500k she would get a dtv. Which is likely, as that's 300k less than what he'll need to get a retirement visa now. If she's over 50, she get a retirement anyway. I don't see a problem selling the property as difficult, they are already two Americans, living in France, wanting to move to Thailand. How much more complicated could it get. But, whichever of them passes first? Its likely they'll want to keep the property anyway.

@James *******

not really, they'd be better buying somewhere to live in Thailand if that's where they see home from now. At her age, she could save 40 years rent. If you look at property prices in Thailand. Even in the relatively expensive phuket, it only takes 8 to 10 years of equivalent rental payments to cover the initial outlay. By the time she's his age, rent will be at least 4 times today's rate.

@Chris ******

I have property in London and Thailand, been a landlord for 30 years. Phuket would generally be the best to let property.

@Jason *********

nailed it.

@Matthew ********

I'm not sure, can't remember. I think it was more about proving money was earned in the uk, rather than the amount??

@Helen *******

well, im not sure what the actual requirement is? I done ours in the first few days of these being released and when I applied, they couldn't have known where I was. They only asked for proof of funds, company registrations and ownerships, tax returns and details of uk residency (house deed and utility bills), I could have actually been anywhere.🤷‍♂️

@Myles ******

calm down hun. It'll be ok. You are myles from being normal.

@Myles ******

you knew what I meant bum boy. You look for stuff if you want to find it. There have been many post on many forums of people being refused, detained for questioning and being asked to provide information.
