Go to a building society

I use Nationwide

actually better than any Bank

@Graham *****

good information

Thank you

Do you know what the income requirements are for that , if any ?

@Pete ******

same as Immigration Offices then

@Garrett **********

I believe you can then extend for another 60 days

If he wants short stay

If he’s wanting to retire he needs a different visa

@Barry *******

it’s odd really , if you ask why they don’t take your notes with marks on them they say it’s because they can’t give them to other people who need a non Thai currency

So surely that applies to the notes they give back to you in exchange

Makes no sense to me so I just make them take any marked notes back

Easy immigration in Jomtien always has been

Good result for you

@Eddie *****

Face book will have already used and sold your basic information from the day you signed up

@Eddie *****

he’s not doing any of that

Don’t live here permanently, UK Winter months November to April only

First came in 2009 30 day Tourist Visa , stayed with an ex work mate who had a Farm near Korat

Just loved it ,came back every year till I met the Thai Lady who I married in 2014 who has two adult children

Since then I have used 90 day multi entry visas or single entry plus two 30 day visa runs flying out of Bangkok where we now have a house

Some years my Wife travels back with me to UK where I still have a home

Spent a full year here during Covid

Not sure whether I would retire here as I would need something to occupy my mind

Made a lot of friends here over the years
