expensive? 1,900 baht/year
BUT u do need be over 50 an have 800,000 baht in the bank for 2 -3 months before u apply for extension
OR
a pension of 65,000 baht sent each month into thailand

Tourist visa is good for 60 days and than u can get a 1 month extension for 1,900 baht
repeat 3-4 times and thats it for at least a few months

Being married to a thai 1,900 baht/year and ONLY 400,000 in the bank ( yes its true 2 can live cheaper than 1) LOL

Richard, pls correct me if I am wrong, but aren't those deposits needed for the visa, speak 800k baht, no-interest deposits?

Even if they pay some interest it could be way south of 2%.

yes needs be in the bank, ( 2 months for 1st extension, 3 months for each one after)
can be in any bank account, mine earns a huge .5% LOL ( but again thats higher than the $$ i have in citibank in the states which earns .25%)
u can also obtain a 1 year O-A visa, issued in ur own country and the money needs be in ur currency but still needs equal 800,000
or
have a pension = to 65,0000 baht/month
or
a combination of the two


CC.WHY you ask? well one reason is, the agents/immigration would lose a fortune in kick backs
am sure u know.... going price for a retirement extension to those that dont have enough $$ is around 22,000 baht/year,plenty of agents in Pattaya do this...
as i posted above there already is a 10 year visa BUT nobody has ever said anywhere they were able to obtain it.

...why not steal a lead against the competition...

Malaysia already offers a 10 year long stay visa ( called the second home program) and has for years and u don't even need be over 50!

also didn't u jump on me when i said elections wouldn't be held in feb>>> LOL

When will Mr T return? after elections ( yea right)
