  1. 1) if the above resources stem from a state pension you might be able to get a Non-Immigrant "O" visa even if under 50 (not the Non-O "A", you'll have to quit the country every 90 days)

    2) enough resources will definitely help you in getting a chain of ED-visa until you are 50. You might actually have to study, especially for Thai courses, but you got plenty of time on your hands anyway

    3) invest some 1 million Baht and start a business with 51% of shares in the hand of Thai partners for a Non-B-Visa. Doesn't get you a working permit, two very different things, might take the right contracts to work with the right Thai employees, but would work. Would need a lot of research on how to go about this and additional costs for accountants and the like, and sure be risky.

    4) feed the government 2 million Baht and 20 k Baht a year for "Thai Elite Status" for extendable 1-y-stays with no border-runs. Might be rather desperate, but if you've got the money....

    5) If you got the funds, you can potentially use tourist visa. Break the chain of "back-to-back" visa by staying in Cambodia for a month or two, travel around, return to your home country periodically, where the chances of getting triple-entries are much higher than in the neighbourhood of Thailand. Costly though, accommodation, storing and hauling round stuff will be the most costly factors.

    1. who would want to quit the country every 90 days, so a big NO

    2. YES, this is the one we are speaking about, the one and only

    3. I do not want to work, and do not want to invest in some non-performing business either so a big NO

    4. NO WAY, desperate way really

    5. tourist visa is out of question since I do not like to travel and leave the country every 3 months

  2. If someone has enough resources to "enjoy the life and not have to work", they have enough to get a proper visa. If they don't get a visa appropriate for their situation, it's either because they choose not to follow the rules and make the required investment ($$$ or classroom time) into their new country of choice, or they really don't have the resources.

    OK, give me your suggestion for someone who has enough money, is under 50, does not want to work in Thailand, does not want to get married, and has no Thai child. Looking forward to your answer. And please give me one that does not "abuse the system" :)

  3. e.g. http://www.contractortaxation.com/Thailand/Umbrella-Company-Thailand

    How do they work?

    Basically, an Umbrella Company acts as your full-time employer, even though you maintain your independence as a contractor. They collect and filter payments from your clients, filtering out the necessary social security and fees. You send them your timesheets, and they send you payments.

    Sponsorships

    Because they act as your “employer,’ they can sponsor you and provide a single work permit for multiple contracts.

  4. You're right to pursue it.

    Close friend of my wife got lymphoma and chemo and care cost about 1 1/2 million baht....in fact they sent her to private hospitals paid by govt.

    Sadly unsuccessful in her case.

    It is really sad that in today's world the big pharma is selling these killer chemicals as a "cure" and puts this hefty price tag on them. Chemotherapy causes cancer in healthy humans and animals so the treatment is based on the absurd expectation that the patient's body does not get killed before the cancer does. You are better of if you can not afford such "great" medical care.
