I am a happily married to a Thai lady (25 years now)and in an ideal world I would like to take early retirement and see out my days in Thailand as opposed to the UK.
I work for a large UK company...with a moderate pension scheme...and I have savings/property here in the uk.(Not huge amounts)!!
Its just the criteria for getting a visa I find confusing as I hear that many different things from people here in the UK.
Is there such a thing as a one year retirement visa or even longer?
How much do I need in the bank (Thai) to help me hopefully get some sort of visa?
What do I need to bring with me from the UK?(And do I need it translated)?
I am not rich by any stretch of the imagination...just a working class bloke who would like to spend his last years in a warm climate as opposed to freezing my n.ts off here in good old Blighty.
I haven't got a clue as this post proves when it comes to Visas related matters in Thailand so please excuse my obvious ignorance and lack of knowledge in these matters.
