Do I need a special visa to rent a condo in Bangkok and travel between the US and Thailand?

You’re better off with a retirement visa for coming and going the whole year. Immigration will frown on you coming back every other month on a visa exempt or a tourist visa.

What health insurance options are available for a 77-year-old moving to Thailand?

Gerg **********

Unfortunately, at your age you’ll be lucky to get insured, and if you do, it’s going to cost you. The time to get it is before you turn 65 for it to be affordable.

What are some banks in Thailand that are easier to open an account with for expats on a Non-Immigrant Visa?

@Alan ****

A house book is like a registration for your address in Thailand. The book has the names of the people living in the house, like a census. Thais get a blue house book and foreigners can get a yellow book if they live there.

What are the requirements and options for obtaining a DTV or ED visa to stay in Thailand?

Gerg **********

The DTV is proving to be problematic for some people. It’s not everything they promised. You should research it well before settling on it, unless that’s your only option of course.

@David ********

That’s what I thought. And since many retirees rent, it’s insane to demand a yellow book to open a bank account.

What steps should I take to ensure a smooth retirement transition to Thailand on a one-way ticket?

Which bank is best for Wise remittances to show foreign transfer on Thai statements?

@Peter **********

It’s literally sent by the U.S. Social Security Administration in America. I don’t think I’ll be having trouble getting a letter from KBank saying it was sent internationally. You don’t think they have any experience with this?
