we have 2 kids studying here, so each of us is going to be guardian for each. We don't have to travel out and we need to buy 2 months of 800K record which has to come from abroad (our visa will be expired on 5th Dec), so even we put the money now, it won't be 2 months on Dec 5. Meanwhile, guardian visa only requires us to have 520K in bank for a month, which we have prepared few days ago so possible to get it approved on Dec 5. And if we need to change it later and have to go out from the country to do so, we can do it as we can choose the time during school holiday so children won't miss the school.

yes it is written the text. We have finally decided to go for guardian visa to buy tine then switch later to retirement visa. Thanks!

@Frank *********

i see, thanks! He is considering to switch the curent 1 year visa with work permit to retirement visa because he will be retired in end of Dec.

@John *********

thank you for your reply. We are not sure what visa do we have as it is not written Non-B or O, it is a year visa applied by the company he works for with work permit. Can we, the whole family, extend it without work permit? (As he will be retired in end of Dec.). if yes, for how long the extension is allowed? Wonfering how much time we can have until he switch to retirement visa. And yes, we are preparing the 800K for the next 2 months now (and it should come from abroad, right?). As I am.a foreigner as well, do I need 800K as well or it is enough only for my husband?

sorry for the confusion. My husband will end his work in the end of Dec so the company ia trying to extend his work permit until then. But my husband is looking to change his visa to retirement visa as he will stop working after. To change the visa, we wonder if he should leave the country and make the retirement visa from another country or he could stay in Thailand and do it here.

Thank you for the information, Mr. Murray!
