First Time To Live In Thailand

[sadako]

Hi all ,

Coming to live in Thailand soon , just checking , which visa will be most suitable for me without a work invite ? A one year multi entry ? And what type ? I will have 4 million Baht and want to invest , does this get me a different type of visa ?

Thanks to all !

I think....

1) apply for Non O Multiple entries

2) deposit money in Thai Bank over 800,000 baht (what ever immigration in Thailand says) or buy yourself a condo about 2 million baht, so u dont have to leave the country and back every 90 days.

If u married with Thai then the 1) may be reduced to 400,000

If u want to invest there, better get Non B... Non O u cant do much.

I think this is correct, but if someone knows better, please confirm.

The 4 million is not going to help for a visa unless/until it is used. You may be able to invest 3 million to obtain a visa but if you only have 4 that is probably not an option. The 800k extension of stay is only open for those over 50 (retirement).

If under 50 you are not likely to be able to obtain anything better than a non immigrant O visa for multi entry which will require visa runs every 90 days until/if you invest/retire/marry.

Yesterday, coming back from the Texas-Mexico border to the interior of the USA, we passed the real checkpoint in the desert.  My daughter-in-law is Irish - born in Ireland, Irish citizen.  When the immigration official asked her nationality, she automatically replied, "I'm Irish."  They asked us to pull over for three border guards to check the passport.  My daughter-in-law was convinced the guards did NOT know what Ireland was - that they had never heard of it.  But they were nice, and we were on our way in two minutes.  However, she knew not to ridicule them or get haughty.

You can invest 3 million in Thai bonds or a NEW condominium.

This will allow you a one year visa initially.

The other million you will probably spend in the first year, more if you marry a

"nice Thai girl".

Good luck
