What are the advantages of renewing my retirement visa compared to using visa exemptions in Thailand?

Paul ********

Immigration are are already cracking down on 60 day border bouncers. Either get a retirement extension yourself or pay an agent, with money in the bank should be less than 10k. PM me for good agent if you want.

Can I stay outside Thailand for up to 6 months on a Non-O retirement visa without affecting my renewal?

Paul ********

I go back 5 months every year for the last 7 years no issues. 90 day reporting resets on arrival and that's it.

What is the best health insurance for a 79-year-old on a Non-O Retirement Visa in Thailand?

Paul ********

You will find it extremely difficult if not impossible to find new policy health insurance for a 79yo.

Come over on a 60 day waiver and then pursue a Non Immigrant O visa in Thailand, no mandatory health insurance.

Should we keep our UK bank account open and transfer money to Thailand for retirement and investment?

Paul ********

Keep UK bank account open, don't bring all your money over in one go, consider keeping at least some investments in the UK, buying properties for rent in a market you are unfamiliar could be an expensive mistake.
