Do I need to show a fit to fly certificate when leaving Thailand for my flight to the US via Seoul?

Steve *********

As I understand it, the "fit to fly" is required to ENTER Thailand rather than to leave it.

Of course, South Korea might have it's own requirements.

What should I consider for returning to Thailand with a retirement visa after being stuck in Malaysia?

Steve *********

Are you talking transport? Then same as you would've done before (flight, boat, bus, train).

It's also helpful to mention which "retirement" visa you're on.

What are the benefits of registering a marriage in Thailand for visa purposes?

Steve *********

As was written above, marriage visa lowers the financial requirements associated with regular "retirement" visas.

Elite visas are much more costly as initial expense, but don't need annual renewal or large sums in THB salted away.

Your call on what suits you.
