How to move to Pattaya? What do you need to know before going to Pattaya for a long time? These questions are asked most often to people who already live in Pattaya from those who are just about to move here. We will try to answer them in this article.
What should you do before moving to Pattaya?
First, you must decide for how long you would like to come to Pattaya. All types of visas have restrictions on the time they can stay in the country. Perhaps you would like to change your job and may consider moving based on a job offer. The only thing is that usually foreign specialists are invited by large companies that are based in Bangkok, but who knows, maybe you will be lucky. In any case, there is a list of things to do before moving
- resolve the issue with the apartment you currently live in in your country
Many of our tenants rent out their apartments in their own country and thus cover part or all of the costs of apartment for rent in Pattaya. If you rent an apartment in your own country, then try to talk about your planned departure with the tenant in advance. Negotiate a full or partial refund of the deposit.
- take only the most necessary things with you
As practice shows, many people who come to Pattaya for a long period of time take a lot of unnecessary things with them. You are traveling to the land of eternal summer. And even when it rains here, the temperature almost all year round is from 27 to 32 degrees Celsius.
- take documents that may be useful to you
The minimum set of documents is a passport and driver's license. For example, to open an account at Kasikornbank with a student visa, you need a passport and a second identification document. Your state's driver's license will also work. True, you will need additional documents depending on the visa on which you arrived.
- make a power of attorney in your country for the person closest to you
You never know what you might need and it’s better to be safe than sorry
- select an insurance company
To protect yourself, choose an insurance company in your country in advance. You can go to the representative offices of different insurance companies and find out the insurance conditions in Thailand. Ask all your questions to the insurer and fly to Thailand with insurance already in place.
- select visa type in Thailand, which is right for you
Next we will write in more detail about the different types of visas. The most popular are student and pension visas. True, sometimes student visa quotas may expire and you will have to wait until they appear again.
- you can decide in advance on the apartments in which you will live in Pattaya
In our company you can remotely choose an apartment on our website. We will also help you choose an apartment based on your wishes even before your arrival in Pattaya.
This is the main thing you need to do when you decide to live in Pattaya. And what is better to do in advance, while still in your own country.
So, you have resolved all the issues in your country and become the happy owner of tickets to Thailand. What's next for you?
