Sorry, it must have been asked before but what are the requirements for legally being able to live in Thailand. Saying i marry GF next year in thailand or uk. I am 30 so no chance of living off savings yet, so saying i manage to get a job in thailand, What are the legal formalities? I.e how much do i need to earn? money in bank?

You will need a considerable amount of money.

Best estimate is 150% - 200% of your earnings in Thailand or UK.

400,000 in a Thai bank or 40,000 Baht salary per month.

The form you/immigration fills out will ask about your employment (even with the full bank deposit) so there should be movement into that account from outside Thailand (if no work permit) each year in some amount to back up your foreign employment. But this is a grey area and as long as you are not suspected of illegal work do not believe it will be closely checked or any set amount required (at this time anyhow).
