we are using an agent to make it easier to go through the process whether it is opening a bank account or applying for the relevant visa. We will still use the legal requirements to get the latter.

Having just purchased a Condo and seen how difficult it is to go through this process because of the language difficulties, using an agent to do things for you just made it easier.

yes I have seen that when we were out there in September looking at cars. I did hear also that the second year they bump it up quite a bit so I will keep that name in mind.

Cheers

I am looking at buying a new Toyota Yaris or Honda City when we arrive in December so that quote looks reasonable I guess.

Bangkok Bank, we opened one last month and used Swift to transfer money. Assisted by an agent.

About £500 to £550 for the first year is about right for using an agent

Just put your passport details in where it asks for for Visa details and see what happens.

no we have two bank accounts, and when we do our Non O Retirement Visas in January it will satisfy the immigration requirements.
