voids.sleet Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Good evening guys. Right so as it stands I would like to join the thai expat community but I will be honest in saying I am a complete noob when it comes to it. So I've been around a few forums and good old Google and I can't make heads nor tails of it. So that's leading me to ask you guys on here. My concern is living and working in Thailand. Which visa and where do I start with this? Any specific needs or access requirements I need for it. Pretty much understand the 60 day tourist visa where it's a hop the border And re enter. This will be a complete new start for me. Last thing, I have chunk of debt, Ithink will more then likely be sending me bankrupt in the next year or 2 Where would I stand with this? Thanks for any help on this guys
67canman Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 i am no expert by any means but I believe the only way you can work in Thailand is if a company basically sponsors you i.e. hires you and seeks a visa for you to work only for them. As an investor (big money) then you will be able to get a work visa if certain conditions are met such as hiring Thai nationals. If you are looking for a visa to live and not work in thailand then a retirement visa or a marriage visa are the other ways. I would love to hear that my knowledge is limited and there is a way. Keep us informed please.
mace Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 I am also very confused with the whole visa situation. I plan to come the BKK in September and would like to stay until at least january but have no idea how to do that. Can anyone give me some advice? I am retired and thinking of moving to Thailand permanently but would lie to give it a try for 4-6 months first.
westexpat3 Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 if you're over 50 probably the best is the retirement visa. If you are only staying 4-6 months probably the double tourist visa.
