Visa Advice For An Aussie!

[sandyfromoz]

Hello friends!!

I am wondering if anyone out there could have some advice for me.

I am married to a Thai national, and we are currently in Oz. We are looking to move to Thailand in Sept.

I am 43, and my income is derived from a trust account, I set up when I was younger. This gives me a income of roughly 1.5 to 2 million baht a year. So I am not looking to work there. What would be the best visa to try and get?

Any help would be great!!!

Cheers Sandyfromoz

Obtain a multi entry non immigrant O visa valid for one year prior to leaving Oz. During your stay in Thailand apply for extension using the family 40k per month income procedure (which is not too clear at this time but should be well documented by then).

Immigration can extend your stay for family or retirement in one year segments. You are below the 50 retirement age so you would have to use family to take advantage of it. This method means you do not have to make exits of Thailand and provides a path to permanent residency for a few. The family used to be called support Thai wife and required 400k baht in bank account or 40k income. There is no longer the 400k option to new applicants and it no longer is support. It is now 40k family income proof.

Read a few threads in the forum and I am sure you will find it talked about in one of every five or so.
