As you stay already stay in Thailand, you will know what would be the easiest and most convenient way to do it, without any financial burden . ππ
As an agent can do the one year retirement visa without any money requirements, don't understand why falangs living in Thailand for many years, still obviously don't know.
Had a condo in the name of my wife.
Then she died and the family wanted 50%.
Had to take a lawyer and got to the court in Nakon Si Thamarat.
Because there was a testament in my name, the court ruled in my favor (without tea money π΅ π)
The rule, that I have to sell in one years time, could be overturned by my lawyer.
Why spend any money on a retirement visa? Take an agent, no need to provide any financial requirements. Same time you will make the Immigration happy, as they will get some of the agents fee.
The retired falangs who put the 800,000 into a bank account, must be not too happy.
The other category, "short cut one year visa with an agent" will have a smile on their π π
Drinking at least 4 - 5, cups of coffee β an interesting topic for me π π.
I'm using filter coffee as well also a French press.
Both produce same good, strong quality coffee.
Married and divorced twice to Thai ladies. (before once to an European)
Now since 12 years married to a Pinay. They are very family oriented and take good care of their husbands. ππ
I only liked Thailand when working in Bangkok.
After my retirement, was living in Pattaya.
Didn't like the ambience and moved away from Thailand πΉπ.
To put 800,000 Baht into a bank account for a retirement visa is really not necessary πMany falangs, especially in Pattaya, know the "cheap, short cut" visa with an agent πAnd the Immigration appreciate π
