its much easier to send all funds into an account and hold a debit card from a thai bank cheapest solution, if i get stuck and have to use my HSBC from singapore the fees are stupid per transactions where 500 thb or 10,000 thb withdrawal or more fees are like thb per atm transaction ridiculous so better to send one large amount and draw down on it.

yeah i know it’s difficult isn’t it

go to a reputable lawyer to do not some agent unless someone can recommend one

that’s ok i know but i understand if i want to renew nine when expires it’s done well in advance seems there must be a lot of people changing over to ThaiElite generally people take it as too young to get the retirement visa

@Daniel *************

ok as i said when i did mine 2 yrs ago it took 1 hour for approval then was up to u to make payment x u had one month to do but we did that afternoon and received a confirmation number immediately i have seen others saying it takes months now

there is a website google thaielite thailand

i paid in advance for the length u want 5 yrs for single person thb 500,000 if u go via a lawyer there should be any charges as they get a commission for introducing u and doing paper work
