Hello

I have lived in Thailand for 16 years. I am married to a Thai woman and we have a 12 year old daughter together.

I am a former financial advisor.

I am interested in Crypto and financial stuff in general as well as world political madness.

Hi!

Moving to Thailand from the USA this year.  Single retiree over 60.  Planning to settle in Jomtien.  I have a short time to complete the rest of my preparations before I land in Bangkok this July.

I have a wide variety of interests and passions.  Hoping to meet and chat with °µÍø½ûÇøs who have made the same decision to move to SEA and live a little!

Thanks!

Hi,

Leaving the USA to move to Thailand mid-2025.  Never been there before.  Long story of how, why, etc.

Figuring things out to try to make my landing smooth.  Between now and July I have to learn more about visa's, opening a Thai bank account, and the like.

Will be a retiree over 60 with adequate finances to meet the 800K THB and the monthly income requirements.

Hoping to learn a lot from this site and experienced people, and maybe make some contacts and possible friends when I arrive.

Will land in Bangkok and stay a week before heading to Pattaya for a spell until I find a 1 year lease in Jomtien.

I hear I can get 30 day tourist visa upon arrival, and an extension shortly after that (don't know for how long), which I hope gets me through until I take up residence in Jomtien to apply for a long term visa.

I'm counting the months!

Starting July 15, 2024, U.S. citizens are entitled to receive a 60-day visa upon entry to the Kingdom of Thailand for the purpose of tourism, business engagements, and urgent or ad-hoc work.  This visa category can be extended for another period not exceeding 30 days.

Dear Sir, you may learn more information on the website below.

So; you have 60 days up to arrive day + 30 days extensionist

One more option, after that you can went out of Thailand to travel some other country nearby as such Vietnam, Cambodia, Lao and you can reenter (you can verify this information) because i don't have real experience but i heard about this

Wish you all the best
