It is not a good investment.

@Nick *********

why is that? It seems to me it is for the extreme wealthy. Not for the everyday common folk.

DO NOT BUY A COND0. RENT IS CHEAP ENOUGH. THERE ARE SO MANY CONDOS BEING BUILT. THEY ARE HAVING A HARD TIME SELLING THEM AND THEY JUST KEEP BULIDING AND BUILDING AND BUILDING

Marriage visa was not easy. Retirement was so much easier

@Rick ********

can you not do the retirement visa? It's much easier. I first attempted spousal visa. They needed so many papers but would not accept the documents because they were not translated. So I ended up just applying for the retirement visa. I had enough to keep 800 k in bank. They do not accept 65k monthly deposit because US will not verify anymore. I just extended for another year(my second).I am assuming you have a Thai wife. I got my non o based on visting family. 90 day. Report your address to immigration. Open your account ( I recommend Bangkok Bank) immediately with 800k baht. I would cushion it because I was getting 15 baht withdrawls.they were charging me 15 baht for texts. I had no idea why. ( do not let it go under 800k Because that 800k has to remain untouched , it resets when it falls below)Let it season for 60 days then you can extend for a year based on retirement. Go about 4 weeks before your visa expires get the list of documents that your provincial immigration will require. Get those docs together. ( copy of passport and all pages stamped. Copy of visa. Copy of bank statements etc , And head back to immigration. You will need to stop at bank on way to immigration to update your passbook and get a certificate of verification from bank that states your money has been there for the required time. You will make copies alot at immigration. Good Luck

I went to a hotel for a couple night twice. and did not do it when i got back. Today I did my 90 day report and extended my retirement visa. No problems on either. Samut Prakan office.
