Been here 3 years, only ever worked twice with online check-in, it's a joke.

No

cool, times have changed.

In Australia a Thai marriage is not legal, you will have to do it again in Australia, if she gets in. You can go to Hong Kong, Australia will accept that, my father in law did this, and no such thing as widow pension in Australia.

Good luck with getting her into Australia too, maybe only on a tourist visa. My father in law was married to Thai women for 20 years, she could only come in on tourist visa, good luck.

Set up a will. Have it detailed in that.

What about your 800,000 you need in the bank for your retirement visa every year?

Wise, I send money all the time into my Bangkok bank but it doesn't work getting money out of thailand. You have to use Deemoney for that.

Use an agent, they can bypass the 800,000 for you but at a cost.

Works very well.
