I am guess I am impressed there is an answer to that question :)

I like pattaya, I don't like the Pattaya immigration.

Last time I went up to Siracha to see if I could use that office, they said I had to go to Pattaya.

Thanks for the informative response.

@Roberto ********

No one believes me.

@Jan *****************

That's probably the most intelligent response I read.

@Colin ********

That's how I understand.. Its been that way for years.

For the past 9 months I thought I qualified for the LTR, but yesterday when I sat to down to apply, I read the fine print "passive income" so now I am scrambling to find a visa solution.

I turned 50 6 months ago and I have made 65K deposits for the past 15+ months, from international sources (Wise 'longterm stay in Thailand'). This was the same method I used to establish overseas funds to buy my condo.

@Conny *********

yeah, I have 12 months from abroad. I am in Pattaya.

They are a bunch of crooks but I thought I could do income method and every document I have seen said its possible.

@Todd ********

They "talked" to me the last time I came in. But I just turned 50 so the rules have changed, a little

I didn't understand "You will 12 months of deposits minimum 65k to your Thailand bank account" this bit

I asked a visa agent the same question. They told me the price of each

10,000 - retirement

65,000 - marriage

You'll find the marriage visa is about that much more difficult. If you like adventure you can do it yourself to save a few bucks.
