G'day All

Pick the right one for you-if you like it, the price is in your budget, and contact the sales office (company directly) if you can-check the room and also materials of furniture, for visas for retirement, just go to immigration page and click on the 'retirement visas application section' and they'll take you through what documents you need and what you need to prove-much easier this type of visa than visas for younger people looking for jobs and work permits. For that, you can ask the condo project owner what steps you need to buy a unit for that condo. Foreigners can buy a condo and apartment but cannot buy house or land in thailand.
hope it helps

Thank you so much for your assistance in this matter.

Hi I've just seen your question but even though its late, are you still interested in knowing about buying a condo in Phuket? Im from Sydney and travel to Phuket very often and am moving there myself in Jan 2015. I bought a condo 3 years ago in Patong so if you want to know more, just message me.
