yes, living here is way better than being a tourist here

I think this is a question you need to ask yourself. Perhaps out of ignorance, you have neglected to factor in the crucial 800k deposit. I will ask some questions to help you out. 1- If johnny has 800k baht equivalent in his home bank account at 5%, how much does johnny have in the bank after one year? 2- How much does a visa agency charge for an annual renewal? Hint - about 16k. 3. If johnny takes his annual interest income and buys a visa extension thru his agency, how much does johnny have left in his pocket? And bonus question - how much time would johnny need to waste at the bank and local immigration office in order to hand over his 1900?

honestly, you will love it all. It's an absolutely incredible place to live and the kids and grands will LOVE coming to visit. You will open up a whole new world for them too

cheaper than wasting your time standing in line at immigration

Go now or you never will. Finding excuses it easy. Making real life changes is hard

yes, you are absolutely right, if you are within Thailand, you must go to the BOI offices in BKK. But if you are outside Thailand, it will be sent to you. And congrats, you have the best visa ever offered here!!! Well done

Retired Life is easy with an agency.
