I'm impressed with the visa knowledge of some of you guys and wonder if you can advise me on this.
I'm 63, British, currently in the UK, in a legally recognised civil partnership with a Thai. We've been together for 26 years, civil partnered fo 8 years.
I've spent 34 years in Thailand, 8 of those working full time for a BOI approved co, but that's just FYI history.
Plan was to retire in the UK, but have decided far better in Thailand.
So, what visa should I apply for? I'll be living in Bangkok. No work. Can satisfy retirement visa financial conditions by placing a non-touchable THB 800k in a Thai bank account. Wondering if Thai authorities recognise our UK civil partnership and would issue a marriage visa? Appreciate a long shot.
I want to retain the ability to travel overseas from Bangkok at short notice.
I expect you to say enter on a 45 day stamp, deposit 800k from overseas and apply for retirement, but would welcome any other possibilities.
Thanks for your time.
PS. I'll need a decent healthcare policy. Any good broker recommendations ?
