@Tr ****

good luck. And. If your talking to lawyers why come to Facebook

The second option is better. non O-A retired requires health insurance. Non-O retired (gotten in Thailand) does not require health insurance. Bring with you all the paperwork you will need including police background check ect. Get a full list of what is needed from the Thai Immigration website.

@Tod ********

thank you Tod. That’s good news.

It’s not that complicated. Just follow the instructions, make a check list and when you have everything, apply.

Make your own post

Best to get a special “Direct Deposit” account and have SS deposit’s your money directly into that account. SS is not taxed in Thailand. But you may have to prove the source.

@David *********

keep in mind that if you do it as David suggest you will need to get a police report, and health insurance, and a lot of other documents. Life will be much easier to follow Mike’s advise. 60 or 90 day visa to come here then go through the process to get an Non -O retired inside Thailand. (As apposed to the Non-OA you get in your country) again O-A’s require insurance.

@Steve *******

800k in the bank and health insurance have nothing to do with each other.
