@Caroline ******
I've already got a bank account to put the money in. So I was advised to arrive exempt, get the Non O in country then extend on retirement basis.
Lynnette *******
What visa are you trying to get? What passport and what embassy.

@Matthew ******
the question was about NZ. The cost of visa there is huge so not a good idea.
Lynnette *******
@Matthew ******
it's what's been suggested. Because applying in NZ is apparently very expensive.

@Matthew ******
they can enter without a visa, apply to get the Non Imm O in Thailand. Then do retirement option.

good point, of course if their embassy issues the income affidavit. Their agent who's handling this should be giving them all the info.

You can't use the income method in first year. ( Or does your embassy give the affidavit?) Surely you've chosen an agent who has told you what you're paying them to do.

Perhaps you need all this information from the agent. They need to give you clear detailed explanation of what they are doing for you. Are they providing the 800k? Are they opening bank account for you? Are you using own 800k money? What exactly is the agent doing for you?
