Can you give a clip about obtaining different types of Thai Visa?

I don’t work for the Thai Immigration, or I am a visa agent. Since the visa policies change all the time, your best bet to get the most up to date info is to call your Royal Thai Consulate or Thai Embassy. Contact info here: http://www.thaiembassy.org/main/

    2. Hello Thom,
      I am a 54 year old man married to a Thai lady whom has immigrated to the USA 18 years ago since we married in the USA by way of the 90 day fiancé visa. We have decide that we (meaning myself as she is still plans to work) would retire in Chiang Mai Thailand when the time comes. So, I understand I have two Thai Visa options being a marriage visa or retirement visa. I will no have no problem meeting financial requirements for either visa, but I do have a few questions to make a decision much easier:

      1) Would it be better (easier) to apply for either Visa in US or in Bangkok? If in Thailand, what visa would I obtain meanwhile before applying for marriage or retirement visa?
      2) We have not decided whether or not to buy or rent a condo/home. Does one visa be favorable if we plan to buy a place?
      3) Which visa has the most time stay before having to renew it?
      4) Does either visa require us to go back to the USA to renew? I heard that border runs are no longer an option?
      5) If our daughter (who will be about 18 yrs. old when we move) decides to move with us, will she need a special visa?
      6) Do you recommend having a Thai bank account established well before applying for visa or moving to Thailand?
      7) I imagine that I can have my Social Security, 401k & pension direct deposited to my current USA bank and when living in Thailand just transfer needed funds to the Thai bank on a monthly basis. How do you do deal with your funding? Or what would you recommend being safest or cheapest?
      8) Is there such a thing as a checking account in Thai banks? How do expats or Thai pay for rent, mortgages or monthly bills?
      9) Do you recommend using a relatives home address in the states for any correspondence for existing US credit cards, tax purposes, etc. Any recommendations on this is appreciated. I believe it may be something that comes up with anyone being an expat.

      Sorry for such a long request, but I truly value your opinion since you have been an expat for long time.

      Thank You In Advance,
      Carlos

    3. Hi Thom

      I have a Facebook group called “Discussing the Real Thailand” which, for longer articles, directs members to my web-page, http://www.BestThailandBooks.com

      That site already has 26 posts in “Blog Posts” and an even greater number in the archive.

      I have a Thai Focus Group made up of Thais from all sections of Thai society, from poor farmers to top government officers, from Bangkok to the regions of Isaan and Lanna.

      I have always that wide perspective invaluable in posting and writing creditable facts and comments on Thailand. A far cry from some of the stuff one reads on social media.

      Your YouTube channel impressed me as you have the advantage of being Thai and therefore knowing what you’re talking about. I would like to discuss with you the possibility of working together and cross-fertilizing my web-page and group with your channel. Linking my blog and http://www.BestThailandBooks.com to Keyframe5Thailand would benefit both my members and readers and your subscribers.

      I notice your “contact us” is down and has not been used since September 2016. hence my contacting you here.
