if 20k baht is too much for you then how are you going to raise a child in Thailand. International school will cosf you 200k a year. I'd advise you to go back to your own country and make as much money as possible so your child can have a better life here.

hmmm if you have a retirement visa already, it means you do not want to work. I just think that a marriage visa is a lot of work over retirement.

What are the benefits of a marriage visa or retirement visa?

Might be eaiser for you just to get a retirement visa. Just in case if you are tempted to do you know what...

@Michael *********

we all know why. These Thai girls are hot and will be willing to hook up with an average farang for a better life. My buddy married for 20 years is getting a divorce.

@Nicolas *******

thank you for agreeing with me. Everyone thinks I am kidding. They seriously don't know the competition.

@Sherry ******

my buddy that has been married for over 20 years with 2 kids cheat on his wife every weekend. Now he is back in the states filing for a divorce. I am just warning you. You will be playing defense every day.

I hope you will find a way. There is always a way. Good luck buddy.

I just read what you wrote and it's like understanding calculus for the first time. I think I am just going to pay for the Elite visa to stay in this country.

Just between us, if I were you, I would threatened him with divorce, if he takes the job. First, he's getting paid way less and any income you make in Thailand will not contribute toward retirement. 2nd, you are going to compete with all the hot young Thai girls or ladyboys in their 20s. The likelihood of him cheating on you will be 110%. Third, the air quality sucks and you are not living in paradise. I am just keeping it real with you. Don't want you to be in a nasty divorce. So don't say we didn't warn you. You will be playing defense your whole entire time here. So threaten him with divorce if he takes the job.
