I use an agent every year. Pricey, but I get to sleep at night. You might do it with an agent first time (piles of paperwork) but it is guaranteed and you get to learn a lot. Try GAM.

how much does it cost you?

so basically if you get this visa with agent it means no more travelling with a van to Cambodia every 2 months?

100 % of people that do not meet the financial requirements use an "agent" 

Few people that do meet the requirements use an agent just not to have the stress & hassles.

The agent fee is lower if you meet the requirements.

I did it myself, it's not hard

i mean 15000 bht per yer is nothing...i can afford that instead of having 800k in the bank

What visa do you have now ?

 

No matter what visa, marriage or retirement (2 common for long stay), you need to extend every year, along with doing 90 day pulse checks, which are easily done online.

 

May want to actually read the 'Thai' Imm site to know what is expected when applying & extending, as there is a financial requirement, which you want to start as soon as possible, unless using the lump sum deposit in bank (800k). 

i have tourist visa just regular one...what is pulse check?

Visa cost is 1900 baht if you do it yourself, and you need to have 800k to show in the bank for most of the year.

Or 15-30k if you use an agent, they usually take care of the money in the bank.

You can stay as long as you want, You extend your stay yearly with the same costs and requirements.

Visa can be done in thailand with no need to return to EU

you mean if i get a lawyer you don't have to have 800k in the bank? But it costs 30k each year for lawyer?

so i can apply for retirement visa right?  How much does it cost? And I can stay as long as I want? Or I have to go back to EU?

To purchase an ETF in Thailand you'll need to open a Thai bank account that deals in funds, in your case the S&P 500 and most of them do.

i have made it clear that i have been heavily involved in cannabis for quite some time here in thailand. what a ride it has been. conspiracy. betrayal. stocks. buy outs. really we might write a book one day to tell all...after i leave thailand so i can't be sued.

 

all necessary paperwork licenses and documents for my company if you must know. message me if you would like to know more :)

 

why the quotations for stoner. like am i a government plant or a paid poster or something. that would be so awesome.

This is the seat I did my Van visa run in from Pattaya last Saturday. Very comfortable

this looks fancier than the brick seats i used to sit on...it was like a ride from hell....how much did you pay for the run

hi, not married, 48 yo, getting a visa is a hassle ....and doing border run with small vans is even a bigger hassle...the last time i went from pattaya with Champion company...they used some old <deleted> van with horrible seats....very uncomfortable.....I love doing visa runs with a bus years ago from bkk but i dont know if that is still possible

my plan is to stay several months....last time I used 45 days visa on arrival? and then extension so I got 75 days 

what is best option now for a tourist

No it does not. Where in the moldy world do you live?? 

i was looking to buy one house here in europe austria and when i came in the mold smell was horrid....the owner said that the house was not occupied for few years....it smelled really bad and the windows were open..... so you can never get rid of that mold.....

why are some people heating the house when they are away then?

but on the other hand....i visited a thai family house once in south of thailand and the top rooms smelled moldy...really bad....so it must be humidity in the air too lol

I turn the heat down to 54F ,  leave the gas water heater in vacation mode, close and lock all windows and doors. Turn off and unplug all appliances and leave on a few night lights with sensors. My heating bill is about $30-35Usd and electric about $9/month when away. Leave for 5 1/2 months. This is in New England. I don't understand the " mold " part of your post whatsoever. 

i am only concerned about the mold, when you leave the house closed and unused without opening the window for longer time, the mold is gonna creep in
