What if, God Forbid, a family member passes away, and you need to be there for the funeral? This doesn't sound right to me.

@Eric **************

the new laws recently began, a little before January 2025. Money laundering issues happening in Thai banks, and way to many people are taking advantage coming in and out of the country, without having proper visas. Many people asking for tourist visa extensions, and are living in Thailand, instead of having an actual retirement visa, or whatever else you aquire as a legit visa.

Anyone who keeps re-entering Thailand, without a certain proper visa, may end up being questioned. Currently, your only allowed in Thailand, for 30 day's, unless you arrive pre approved extension.

Got a ? for everyone. When my US Passport, is up for renewal, do I go to the US Embassy, in BKK for renewal?

Keep a separate bank accounts. Never touch the 800,000. 2nd account for monthly expenses, and 3rd account for travel/emergencies

I live in Upstate NY, planning on moving to Thailand soon. Can I apply online for a Non O visa, or do I need to go to Thai Embassy in NYC, yo apply?

I set up a Charles Schwab account, from the US. Typically, I transfer 3 grand a month. It's usually a $20.00 per transaction.

A lot of people who keep re-entering Thailand, on tourist extensions, are being denied entry or receiving final warnings.

@Jim *******

What is the cost of an LTR Visa? Starting to look at getting a visa for myself.

No, she will need another visa. I assume she will be working in Thailand.
