With the bank account; does it need to be continually active (money in and out) + 800K at time of application or can the account just sit with the 800K?? Thank you in advance

@Charlie *****

Thankyou for the info, may give it a run further down the track after I have settled into retirement.

Charlie Wall Think that ship has sailed when it comes to reading and writing Thai. My spoken is not bad but a hearing defect makes it hard to pick the different inflections so I constantly miss hear.

@Tod ********

Thank you

I am still in my home country and will be applying for a VISA in the next couple of months for a move in early 2019. I have already stashed the cash in a separate account for the 800k so that is no issue. My biggest hurdle is so many conflicting onions on which VISA is best and providing an address when I apply. We will be initially be living in a hotel for about a week while we sort out a Condo to live in while we build our retirement home.

@Tod ********

Ok so will give that a miss. Have worked long enough and paid too much tax where I am lol. Thankyou for you help. Much appreciated.

Can you go down the residency road on the over 50 or only on the married? The money in the bank is not an issue for either.

Permanent residency would be nice. Obviously a lot less paperwork.

My apologies I should have been more clear. I intend to retire to Thailand using the multi-entry year No O visa's
