Really great! Alzheimer is an unfortunate destructive disease. Glad to see some people helping out.

In reply to Steve K. No, there's no problem moving here, and an Alzheimers patient could receive residential care for about $1000/mo at a fine institution.

I found your fascinating website after talking with my (Thai) wife about what we would do if either of us came down with dementia. (My wife says it’ll never happen to us. She’s clearly in denial or uninformed. Probably both.)

Spending our last days in Thailand seems an easy correct decision.

But one question neither of us has an answer to: how does an Alzheimer’s patient stay in Thailand, for maybe years, without breaking immigration laws?

It used to be that non-citizens would have to leave the country for a day to get their visas extended for six months (or some work-around like that). Travel for an Alzheimer’s patient would be difficult if not impossible.

So how does a non-Thai citizen move to Thailand for the last years of life? And are there any income, language, citizenship or other requirements?

Eager to hear from you.
