Good advice If you can afford to do it put the 800k in and Forget about it and enjoy your life in thailand, The following year will only cost you 1900bht and very easy to renew because you've done it , right 🙏🙏🙏

All depends if you want to go the legal route or not It's your choice if you want to start on a bad idea. Even though thousands do 🙏 You would also have to use an agent for the second year.

Apply for a NON O A for Retirement before she leaves in the states might be a easy and less stressful She Will need insurance when applying Then a bank account is easy to set up because you'll have a retirement Visa. And you won't need 800k bht

What are my options for obtaining a long-term visa in Thailand as a tourist planning to retire?

Nigel ********

@Sachuwat ******

If you do it legally, you must have 800k. In the bank to start. Once you start using an agent , you probably will not be able to get away from them Go to immigration and get a Certificate of residents. Then take it to Bangkok bank and tell them you'll take out their insurance. It's about 5K.

@Stuart **********

If you can afford to after you put your 800 in to start with put 65 K in every month. Straight away ready for the next year. You can switch to monthly payment strait away then on year 2 and you could also withdraw all your money. The 65 k you can spend every month anyway
