Bobs post is exactly right Mathew I’m just renewing mine next week

Keep your bank acc or how can you get pension paid in although you are young right ??? I still have mine

This is the very latest retirement visa requirements. Health insurance not necessary

You probably wouldn’t need to work out here if you have work pension. I sold my house in fucked up uk and invested the money and uk pension and alls well. You sound like you have a nice lady and good luck to you. If not resort based you might struggle with language Thai is nigh on impossible to learn and not many speak English away from the resorts which will be big problem. Thailand is a beautiful country. I hope you have a good experience here. I’m having a great life now. I’m so blessed 🙏

I had a girlfriend with a massage shop. I really liked her and was with her for 6 months. I asked her about sex with customers and she said I never boom boom with customers, I have young girls for that………..then added I just do hand job and blow jobs ! I thought oh ? That’s alright then 😣🤨 run for the hills, they’re all the same

180 days or more in Thailand, Philippines o problem as double agreement with uk

There may be a bit of a mass exodus during that time during low season when resort businesses rely on a drip feed of income from non holiday residents however small, to keep going through the baron summer months like myself. I’m finding a few bars closing altogether at this time. I’m not sure Thai authorities have thought this through properly. I’m here to spend my life savings in Thailand and if I’m going to be taxed again on my savings I bring into spend then I’ll sadly look elsewhere to spend it

One thing to consider Malc is if you stay for 180 days or more you may get taxed on that pension you have also. I’m on retirement visa done myself easily by the way 1900 baht but I’m waiting to see this year if I’m going to get taxed on all my Thai deposits from uk. If so I may go somewhere else and avoid the rainy season and very hot weather going forward

Bombs away…. Accuracy is the name of the game here, especially if wearing sandals/ flip flops
