I stand corrected. Thank you Carl.

I just went through this. Banks will not open up an account for you on a tourist visa. You have to have a retirement visa and a proof of address.

Now I’ve got my retirement visa but before to get another 60 days I made a border run to Laos. At the border, they told me I could not cross and I had to fly in so I had to go back to Udon Thani take a flight to Bangkok and then go to Laos. I don’t know if it’s the same now, but that was an unbelievable pain in the ass.

I came here in the middle of last year. I got 60 days and then got a 30 day extension. I went to Laos via airplane because they would not let me across the border by car. I got another 60 days and another 30 day extension. I’ll be going to Bangkok shortly and just have an agent handle everything for me that will give me 14 months and then I check in every year and pay ฿20,000. Hopefully that will be the end of it. retirement visa
