Planing on moving jan 2026. Family of 4. Also 2 cats 2 dogs. Any advice?

I pan on doing dtv visa for me and my husband is going to do education visa.

Also what do you think is a good monthly income for a family of 4 in bangkok or phuket? Or other cities i should look into?

Can any tell me how to open a bank account?

Can anyone tell me how many times I can enter Thailand without a proper visa?

Can anyone give me the bus timetable from Bangkok to Pattaya?

Can any explain to me how to get a passport/visa/buy land for my new girlfriend?

Can anyone tell one tell me if it will be raining when I arrive in Thailand?

Can anyone tell me what is today’s exhange rate and where’s best to exhange money (no location specified) for a super special rate?

Do let me know if I’ve missed any.

Coming to Hua Hin Jan 16 with the evisa from USA (assuming it is approved by then) Will set up bank account to move to retirement visa. Can I do a short term rental to look for a house to buy (in my Thai wife's name) while in process for the 1 year extension, or do I need to have a long term rental to get that long term visa?

Also, my mother will also be doing the same. Do both our names need to be on the rental contract?

TIA

Can I get a 1 year apartment lease on the DTV? I Just got approved. Thank you

Recommendations please on if it’s better to get a 12 month rental and get a cheaper rate or pay a bit higher rent per month and just go for a 6 month rental and have the freedom to move if things change ? Thanks 🙏🏼

Hello, your group was recommended to me. I will start by telling what I hope I can do, then you tell me if its possible and how.. I am 76, in good health. I even still work. My cat and I want to move to Thailand, either Bangkok or Pattaya area. I want to buy a condo as soon as I get bank transfer.. I will need to get a bank acct, to put 800,000 in it, plus cash for condo. I get my SS from USA. But I need to do this all in one trip. I have read you have to have a resident in USA when you apply for visa. I am selling my home here in Jan 2024. I want to come to Thailand right after. I was told an AO was good, but can I do all of the above without going back to USA? I live in Florida, so it is a very long flight I don't want to make t twice. Thank you

A few questions regarding housing and the visa process:

I have applied for the ED visa and my passport is currently with immigration, awaiting the visa.

I haven’t found a long-term apartment yet because I’m waiting to get the visa first. I don’t want to commit to long term housing in case my visa is denied. Does that make sense?

As I am moving between short term housing, the owners are creating TM 30s to register me (I assume), but do I also need to update my visa application each time?

How do you normally handle this, when technically you don’t have authorization to stay in the country long-term, but the government wants to know where you going to live long-term?

The goal is to rent a 1 bedroom apartment in Jomtien. What steps should I follow after getting off the plane in Bangkok?

Hi guys,

TM 30 question.

i find the wording of this article a bit ambiguous:

[[members only])

it seems to be saying that if i rent a house, and stay one night in a hotel, my landlord doesn't need to file a new TM30?
