Strictly speaking - yes Bangkok bank needs you to swear a declaration in standard form on your residential address when opening a bank account. Apparently every embassy has the template n is used only for Bangkok bank. Found out when I opened my bank acct last year

no worries - lots of options with nurse qualifications - pm me when you are more stable in Thailand.

How old are u ? If above 50’- u can do the retirement visa with 400,000 in bank Acct - but an agent can always arrange as well.

Lots of experts in this forum 👍👍

I may be wrong but it says 400,000 or monthly income of 40,000 bht ?

Go with your son - Korea is not that bad 👍. Your son needs u.

@Anaïs ********

yep.. find another place - if possible

Practically you risks him denying n refusing to return your rental deposit to you at the end of tenancy.

To be honest - your expectations of jobs n work will have to be moderated.

There are very limited jobs for foreigners n even if there is, you will find the pay is far short of what you earn back home and u have to adapt to live like Thais.

Cities have grown very expensive- prices are now like Singapore n nice things are getting expensive. So standard of living have to be managed.

Regulatory red tape is horrendous and basic living visa are also difficult to get or understand.

As a foreigner u will always be respected n expected to pay more than locals.

That is my 2 cents worth.. lol

So as what many commented - go live in the province but then again depend on what you want at this stage of your life.

Thank you everybody for your time n replies

Very grateful 👍👍
