Random photo-art illustrations added, fully according to old traditions of Phanganbiz. Be Eco-friendly, love the trees - as we hope to show the stars to our children.  Rudraksha Life dedicated to Rudraksha growing on Phangan island and worldwide. Now you can own the holy tree, registering even land under, using the the concept created by Kalos Fund.
    Thailand is a country filled with friendly people and amazing scenery where you can live a relaxed lifestyle in comfort. You will also find That many local people enjoy telling stories about the country and that Thailand has a vibrant history dating back as far as the 12th century.
 
Making the move to Thailand can be easier if you understand what is required of you prior to the move. To make the move, documents and specific requirements need to be met. Learn about these requirements here.
 
What You Need to Do for the Move
There are many reasons to move to Thailand. However, the most common reason is for retirement. Working in Thailand is strictly prohibited for foreigners, even volunteer work. If you are self-employed or work remotely however and work via the internet for yourself, you will be able to earn an income that way, but you will not be able to find a local job.​

To live in Thailand, you will need to obtain a visa. To qualify for a non-immigrant visa, you must be at least 50 years old, hold a valid passport that does not expire within a year and have proof of their financial requirements.

The income requirements for those retiring to Thailand need to be 65,000 THB each month or 800,000 THB in a Thai bank account. There can also be a combination of a steady income stream and cash money in the Thai account, but it must equal 800,000 THB together.

Real Estate

You will also need to find a place to live while in Thailand. This can be done through a reputable Thailand real estate agent. Speaking with a qualified agent can provide you with more information regarding the available homes, as well as certain specifications that should be done to obtain the real estate.
 
Foreigners in Thailand are not allowed to own property. By having a Thai citizen own 51% or more of the property, such as a condo or apartment when buying, then purchase options are not available. You will also find numerous beautiful homes for rent in Thailand for very reasonable prices.

Moving Household Items
With a non-immigrant visa, you have six months to bring your household goods over duty free. There is a one-item rule that must be adhered to when moving to Thailand. Only one of every item can be imported into the country if you are visiting as a tourist and staying short term. However, if you will be retiring in the country, bringing a letter from Thai immigration stating that Thailand will be the country you live in, you will be able to bring two of every item, instead of just one.

Working with a shipping company that provides door-to-door shipping for household goods can be beneficial during this move.

Shipping Over a Vehicle
Bringing your vehicle can also be done when moving to Thailand although most people are happy with the local transportation services including buses and motorcycles. It is important to hire a reputable vehicle transport company if you choose to bring your own car or motorbike to Thailand. The company should be familiar with the specific guidelines, procedures and regulations set in place for transporting a vehicle. The following link, https://www.a1autotransport.com/ship-car-to-thailand/ has some great information on importing a personal car to Thailand.

Used and new vehicles have different guidelines for import. One guideline for used vehicles is that they require an import permit. This can be obtained from the Ministry of Commerce and should accompany the vehicle during transit. Failure to provide this documentation can cause further delays, as well as hefty fines.

The move to Thailand can be a rewarding one. Enjoy all that comes from moving to this laid-back country and make the most of your time when you follow the specific guidelines for bringing your personal belongings over and you will transition to your new home quickly.
