yeah and then they’ll change the qualifications possibly they are making it tougher I used to live in Japan. They are making it much tougher for foreigners to reside there because they really don’t want us there.

plus I leave a vehicle there for my friends and my son to use

@Janelle ****

plus I still have assets in the United States so I use it once in a while. I think my son uses it more than my friends he likes the United States. He likes to come visit their often.

@Janelle ****

no I don’t rent it out. I let my friends use it. I have friends all over the world so I just let my friends come use it when they need a place to stay in the United States.

Some countries are just getting crazy they’re asking for US$50,000 deposited bank account and some countries are asking more than US$100,000 deposited into a bank account that is not guarantee so if the country suffers they can simply take your money with no recourse

Build your life somewhere else that’s why personally I still live in BKK, but I kept a property in the United States just in case a very small studio condo because countries like Thailand, the Philippines everywhere else except America and Canada change their palsies as often as you can change your socksso basically they always increase fees. They make it more difficult the more popular the country gets.

Are you personally willing to deposit US$5000 in a Thai bank account in her name only that would be your starting point

@Eric *********

you are totally correct

To be honest with you, you should have at least $30,000 in savings for emergencies just in case if you don’t have that, I agree with the rest of the people here you should probably save that in your country and when you save money then come back to Thailandbut you might wanna wait till you have a pension or some type of income that’s generating income

One piece of advice never let your Thai wife handle your finances ever for any reason you will end up broke luckily I control my household. As far as money goes she controls everything else.
