Can I get a retirement visa in Thailand with a monthly income of £33,000 instead of the required £65,000?

Frank **********

it's not about being righteous when using an agent. It's about the fact that agents are fraudulently obtaining visas by bribes and bypassing Immigration Law. I prefer to do things the legal way because if a crackdown on agents ever happen I will wave goodbye to the ones who used an agent. Lolol

You have to think about Healthcare and how it will impact your monthly pension. Most policies do not cover pre-existing conditions and even though Healthcare is relatively cheap a trip to the hospital for something major will cost you.
