I remit 1.8 million baht per year to support my family and community. Do you think the Thai government is against that.

Also l used a visa agent the first year and do everything myself know

If you are over 50 years old and you are thinking about retiring in Thailand. Currently it’s still 60 days non visa entry with an extension of 30 days( 90 days total )During that time period you love the country, rent a property and vehicle. Doing great and if your in a tourist area start your retirement visa the next day ( due to conveyance of location )Bank account in your name with matching Thai phone number linked the same bank account in your pocket and funds 800.000 baht after that it’s clear sailing. I use wise to transfer money from Australia to Thailand but in no way am l endorsing Wise

Who do you listen to the people that say in my opinion, or the people that said l just went through or going through this process?

raised in the country side and lived in many famous cities. Give me the comforts of a family farm life with the ease of a car to travel in comfort

@Jeremy *******

between my wife and l we do the TM30 which is not really required anymore if live full time in Thailand as long as your mandatory 90 days ( TM47 ) is up to date and I do that online at zero cost. At the moment retirement visa l find less hassle as the marriage verification process can be quite frustrating depending!

@Jeremy *******

Thailand citizenship is extremely difficult and a very long process especially if you are on a retirement visa even when married to a Thai woman as l am.

I’m a Australian life time Army veteran that went directly from Army to retirement and Iive in Thailand. Thailand has a tax agreement with Australia so l pay zero taxes in Thailand.

l live near Pakham about 40 minutes highway drive from Buriram and love the village life style and still close enough to enjoy other cultures and life style. Very cheap option but you really need a car for convenience but not mandatory

if you have the money just see a visa agent and they will do all the work for you, however depending on your circumstances it will cost - baht. If you have knowledge of Thai immigration laws and requirements the skills and language skills and practices you could do it yourself for about 5000 baht and many many hours sitting in immigration especially if you’re in Bangkok, Pattaya
