Can we exit Thailand to Malaysia by car to renew our visa exempt status?

Tony **********

If you're purpose is border run, I wouldn't take car across. If you're going as tourist, then probably okay with correct paperwork and insurance.

What are the correct financial requirements for obtaining a retirement visa in Thailand: is it 800,000 THB AND 65,000 THB income, or OR?

Tony **********

It is kind of an AND. You'll need 800k in account to get your first year extension. You can start to show the 65k/month over that year. But you have to have 12 months of 65k and every month following. Miss a month and your start all over

How can expats in Thailand keep their US number just for 2-factor authentication?

Tony **********

my point was that the type of number is detected at the time it is setup, not when it is used. Hence a mobile number I is validated by the institution BEFOE it is ported.

Tony **********

I've not seen an institution yet that is setup with 2fa on a mobile phone number; where that number is then ported to Google voice that did not continue to work. Do you have an example of one that failed after porting?

How can expats in Thailand keep their US number just for 2-factor authentication?

Tony **********

If you establish your 2fa while you have a valid mobile number, you can "port" your number to Google voice and it should continue to work. Most institutions validate the number when it is first setup, not each time it is used.
