@William ******

I am so glad to have read this thread. I had heard about people forming a company so they could have a form of title for a house but this is exactly what I have been hoping to find.

@Tod ********

legend as always. Thankyou.

Any idea where I would need to go to apply for extensions once I start living in Rayong.

Thankyou. I love straight answers like that 😆 makes life easy.

@Tod ********

legend finally the light bulb has come on for me. Yea consulate is definitely a sheltered workshop.

@Tod ********

But I am applying for an O visa in Australia before moving to Thailand to live based on age, finance and married to Thai lady for over a decade. Or am I just not understanding at all what I am doing. Sorry to seem so dim. But everytime I talk to the consulate I get a different person who seems very uncertain about anything and gives me a different answer and so the confusion grows. Sorry.

@Tod ********

thankyou. I was struggling with the idea that I could not just open an account and deposit 800k that I had with me. To my mind if you put it in your account that is all that matters.

@David *********

Thankyou

@David *********

So by the sound of that a ozForex transfer should cover that. But who can tell, Thai rules sheesh 🤔

@Tod ********

so to 100% clarify in my foggy brain you're saying I can't open an account and deposit the money directly myself?? Or Forex it into the account, I don't want to cop the crap exchange rate and bank transfer fees.
