"One Stop" Retirement Services in Thailand?

Transcript of the above video:

As the title of this video suggests, I am discussing what I am just colloquially referring to as “One Stop” Retirement Visa Services. 

As we have discussed in other videos, there is a ‘One-Stop’ service centre associated with certain kinds of business, Business Visa, Work Permit; not what we are talking about here. I am just using this as a colloquialism if you will, talking about basically retirees looking to come to Thailand. We get a lot of correspondence from both retirees and prospective retirees who are looking at their visas sorted. They are really confused about dealing with Thailand Pass, things like the Phuket “Sandbox” or the other “Sandboxes”, whether or not they can still use "Test and Go" etc. etc. It is not really easy to cut through the fog and I get it. Also, more to the point of this video because we talked about Immigration specifically a lot in other videos, we are also talking about at one key thing we see, a question from a lot of retirees, are things like bank accounts and even driving licenses. Look, I mean we assist with all this stuff and I am getting to the point where in a lot of cases now, everybody every case we deal with on a case by case basis. Depending on where you are, the circumstances in your case, we may or may not be able to process a Retirement Visa instantly, we may have to bone up your financials or deal with evidence or you may be in a jurisdiction where it may be really difficult to get a Visa issued so we may have to make other arrangements, everybody's case is going to be different but the point of this video is we often can find a sort of One-Stop solution for folks who are looking to come to Thailand and retire. We can help process things like coming inbound, dealing with Thai Immigration inbound, Thailand Pass, these kinds of things or Certificate of Entry depending on your circumstances although that is pretty rare now. Then once you are here dealing not only with your ongoing retirement status but things like 90-day reporting, we assist with that quite frequently for a lot of our retiree clients as well as banking. We can assist in helping people get a bank account set up and again it depends on circumstances and there are a lot of factors to look at but we also assist oftentimes in putting people on the right track or moving them down the track to go ahead and get a Thai driving license which on top of everything else may be very useful if for no other reason than an ID. It is a Thai Government issued ID and that can be of some use the folks who want to live here long term and don't really want to have to carry around their passport or a copy of their passport. 

So yeah, I am kind of more and more, again it is case dependent, but we always are looking for ways to create efficiency and reasonable pricing in our services and this kind of "One Stop" concept or paradigm if you will with regard to our retiree clients is something we are trying to adopt more and more.
