good luck because we had TE previous 10 yrs when we renewed we were given an exceptionally deal you couldn’t refuse but it’s only for those with existing visa
we have had for 10 years and just renewed for further 10 years and i have lots of friends joining it’s obviously not for everyone as is considered expensive but takes a lot of hassle out of living here
problem will be how to deposit money into a thai bank other option is buy Thai Elite it’s
more
expensive for 5 yrs about 500,000 thb but gets you through all the bullshit and hassle and you can get here set up accounts and then later stay with Thai Elite or change to retirement as you will
if u over 50 take the retirement visa you don’t need all this info but u need a bank account with 800,000 in it u can do this visa in australia at embassy or consulate
