Pointing out where accurate information is available is not rude.

A Google search may yield more immediate and accurate information and details. AI may answer any specific question for your circumstance. That said, it appears a retirement visa is in order. Two types would be O-A that you would obtain in your home county before arrival or a O that you would apply for in Thailand. Google the different retirement for both.

Is it possible you're full of crap?

I have Pacific Cross 7 years now. One small claim 6 years ago was paid with no problem. Customer service has improved,they added a customer service representative.

Passport,car an motorcycle license to convert, Charles Schwab account, Capitol one credit card. Port your US mobile phone number to Google voice $20 one time charge. Think twice about moving to Phuket,the influx of foreigners and high prices in my opinion make it a no go. If you want to be sea side,Chomburi or Rayong Province.

Although Thailand is a wonderful country with a lovely people, i don't think a drastic change in geography will solve your depression. I suffered with depression for years off and on. About twenty five years ago I found holotropic breathwork, saved my life.
