@Marty ********

is the 80k solely from a pension or can pension, social security and 401k withdrawal all add up to 80k to satisfy the requirements? Is it just at time of application or each and every year the visa is valid? TIA.

I'm up in Tha Bo. Gf and kids had never had it before. When I move here permanently, we will hit up the bigger stores in Udon Thani every month. I have been to Villa in Pattaya and Bangkok before. Nicely stocked stores

What is the best way to access 200,000 THB from Australia to buy a car in Thailand without a local bank account?

Thomas *******

Are you alone or do you have a Thai partner here? If you do, transfer the money (Wise) to their account and withdraw if from there. That's how I get money here without any fees minus the Wise costs.

The only thing they will accomplish by using an agent to HOPEFULLY get a U.S. visa will be contributing to an agent's pocketbook. They will be no closer to their destination and maybe even further away after using an agent after trying to circumvent what the U.S. requires.

They fly them to Mexico and walk over with everyone else. Bonus is they get EBT cards, an apt. and your choice of mini van. Sorry to be a smartA**, but it was hard to resist.

Do you agree that there is nothing an agency can do for you as far as dealing with the American Embassy? I see people recommending an agency and I think that's just a waste of money as they have no say-so in what the embassy says, unless there might be backdoor workings going on.
