Does any one know of an extremely cheap studio apt or guest house near Chiang Mai. I don't mind if its very basic as long as its clean 1 month initially then longer I hope want to be there may 6th

I do have UK passport yes and basic state pension but 800,000baht no I don't have.

I have been told here that if I am receiving a state pension I can apply for a visa but have to do the visa run every 90 days does anyone know what this visa is. Its not the normal retirement visa that requires 800,000 baht but another visa, anyone know?

Will the two kds getting visas extended be the same problem? Seems a bit problematic in Thailand.

More complicated than i Thought we have two kids 3 years got a British passport and an eight month old will be getting British passport soon seems very complicated in in Philippines for the past 3:years much simpler but nowhere near as nice as Thailand I got a few problems I think

My partner is way younger than me she will try to get work permit she is a qualified English teacher worked in Korea for 5 years the only filipina to teach in her school her English is excellent. She speaks Japanese Korean Italian English tagalog and now studying Thai got a talent for languages

I do get a state pension so that's good news after 15 months what happens then do I have to go back to UK? My partner is filipina so won't have a Thai wife as well nice thought tho haha thanks for everyone's quick response very impreesed

Hmmmm not so easy then I am from UK my pension is just a basic pension I think I would need another £7000 in the bank. My partner is from Philippines. how do guys live in Thailand for years then is there another option open to me. Wanted longer than two years that's for sure

Sorry I am totally new i want to stay in chaing mai longterm, I can't afford retirement visa so probably means a tourist visa and keep renewing can anyone tell me how I go about this and how often do I do the visa run and where to go nearest to chaing mai how long can I keep renewing. Can I get residency?

Lots of questions but have been advised this is the site to be in
