Run for the hills!!!

My wife and I have been together eight years. We moved to the family farm three years ago and built a nice house. Her mother took out a loan for most of it. It’s in her name and I pay 15,000 baht a month for the mortgage. I probably put an extra 800,000 baht over the last few years.

But everything is acceptable to me because we all have some skin in the game and I’ve agreed to the financial terms of the relationship. I never felt any pressure from anyone.

One day my wife got mad at me and said,”even if I hate you, I won’t kick you out!!!””

lol 😂

Oh I feel so much better now!!! Haha

Dude unless you’ve known her for a number of years and gone through some shit together, you’re living in fantasy land and you might just get your ass handed to you.

Of course I could be wrong!! 😑

@Andy ********

How can they hold your money when it’s already in your Wise account. Bizarre.

@Fred ********

that’s even stranger that they don’t send your own money right away. You might want to contact them and ask why?

@Brandon ***********

not true! I always put for long term stay in Thailand. Money shows up in seconds. It has more to do with the home country banks releasing the money funds.

Wise always seems to front me the money then it comes out of my USA account a few days later.

@Kristie ******

I’ve had the same health insurance for six years and used it twice for short hospital stays. WR life. I’ll be 70 in a few weeks and I pay about $150 usd a month for 7 million baht in coverage.

@Sean *********

because is it’s almost impossible to open a Thai bank account without either a work permit or long stay visa. And when in Thailand you can’t open an account unless you already have one. Kind of a catch 22.

@Todd ********

I didn’t realize what the LTR visa was, I’m not rich enough for that one.

And why do you need a multi entry OA when you can pay for a re-entry permit on a regular O or OA visa?

@Sean *********

I said OA visa. There is an insurance requirement when you get it in your own country.

I now realize what the LTR visa is. I’m not rich enough to get one!!

If you’re over fifty why not just get a non O A/ retirement visa, at the Thai consulate in Los Angeles or near whatever big city you’re in? You can then open a thai bank account and put the required 800,000 baht into it. You’ll need health insurance also, but that’s a good thing to have. I’ve been here eight years and it’s the cheapest easiest way to get a visa if you meet the requirements.
