have you already have a Thai bank account? If not it might be challenging to get one now. Marriage Visa requires less money hold in bank 400k around 3 months but more paperwork than retirement visa. Retirement visa requires more money in bank 800k and can’t drop below 400k. You can opt for 65k monthly method later on. Less paperwork. So you choose which one is more suitable for yourself.

elite visa is valid for 5-20 yrs. But length of stay is 1 yr also able to extend 1 more yr at IO?

@Jae ****

I think he is referring to Elite Visa.

@Tom *****

you can apply retirement visa as a backup plan. if you over 50.

become a monk will not stop to pick a red or black.

If you worry about your previous travel history. Just make sure you have hotel reservations for few nights, 20,000baht in cash or in other currencies cash and a ticket booked out of Thailand.

Have seen people got denied entry for not having a ticket out of Thailand recently.

This will increase your chances for getting in Thailand but not a guarantee.

well insulated garage 24k btu is enough. Otherwise 30k btu is all you need.

@Jordee *****

you might pay a bit more at first. But you will save money in the long run. I have 24k btu Mitsubishi paid 35k baht 4 yrs ago estimated power bill at 12k baht per year. Another one is Haier 24k btu paid 25k baht 2 yrs ago estimated power bill at 20k baht per year.

Depends on your budget, 1st Samsung, 2nd LG, 3rd Hisense. If budget is not your priority then go for Daikin or even Mitsubishi for best durability.

Yes they have copy machine. Sometime next door or opposite side.
