I was talking to a non-thai restaurant owner in Pattaya the other day. 

 

He was thankful to all the farang retirees who live in Pattaya. They are the reason he is able to feed his family back home. 

 

Now I wonder why the authorities are making it harder and harder for the retirees to live in Thailand when they support the local economy. Even during this pandemic. 

How are they making it harder? 

Retirees have it very easy coming to Thailand, only need to show about $25,000 in the bank for a few months. 

If I, or other Thais want to retire to the US, we need to invest 16,000,000 baht. 

Also, very hard to retire to the UK or Oz, and probably many other countries. 

I have a friend who doesn't satisfy the requirements and pays immigration $500 year for an extension. I'm tired of foreigners complaining when they have it so easy.

really? what about the 90 day report  and the long queues? 

I believe they have to be done every 3 months. 

Go at 3.30 or do it online. 

Take a day off if you find it exhausting.
