Unfortunately you are too young to retire, and there is no other provisions that accommodate you.
lopburi3 Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 As Pat says try to obtain a multi entry non immigrant O visa from an honorary Royal Thai Consulate in the US prior to your travel. That will allow 90 day visits until you marry and then can be used for your first one year extension of stay after you get married and have the 400k in the bank. If unable to obtain O visa try to get 2 or 3 entry tourist visa to use until marriage. Any money coming into Thailand from overseas will count toward the 40k per month requirement or the 400k in bank so you should not have any trouble after marriage takes place (other than normal wife troubles).
