Don't overthink it.. its still legal tender.

Make up your mind.. you want to move here permanently or spend some time here first before deciding? Huge difference between the two regarding rules and visas..

There isn't a country on earth that will give you a tourist visa when you are already in the country... what made you think this was possible?

People say Santa is real and that the earth is flat too.. believe nothing until you see evidence of it

@Anna ****

. The transit visa you are thinking of is for transiting through Thailand to go elsewhere which you aren't. You are exiting Thailand to do a re entry from what you are stating. That's what a border bounce is. Takes 5 minutes to get a Laos visa on arrival at the Laos border which is after the thai exit.

People trusting media verbatim is exactly why the world has become what it is now..

@Leo *****

yes and no.. if you get a spouse extension, it's 400k for 2 months prior to applying. After acceptance, you can do whatever you want with the 400k and they also don't care where it came from. If you choose to use a joint account with wife, it needs to be 800k because th ai law sees all assets and liabilities as unless stated otherwise in prenup. Thai law doesn't give a shit about when it comes to visas though... ironic.

Eg foreign women married to thai men don't any money at all.

. You can actually use the Thai bank account balance to get a retirement visa from inside Australia before heading back there. I've used it for a spouse visa outside Thailand which has similar money rules.
