Relocate to Pattaya in 30 days: visa, condo, car — one team
What it costs per month to live on Wongamat Beach with everything arranged, and the four-week sequence that gets you from a decision to your own front door.
One budget, one contact
Updated October 2026
Most people who move to Pattaya do it in pieces: a visa agent in one office, a condo from a portal, a car from a shop on Second Road, and a bank account after three failed attempts. Wongamat Group does the four together, and the reason is simple — the visa determines the lease length, the lease determines the address on the TM30 and the bank form, and the car has to be at the building on the day you land.
Below is what the bundle actually costs per month from our live listings and partner rates, then the 30-day sequence. We charge no agency fee for the condo (the owner pays), a fixed written fee for visa assistance, and the car is billed by the fleet at its own rate.

The 30-day sequence
Week 2 — choose the condo
Shortlist of 5–8 units with video walkthroughs and the price-in-context line for each. Reserve with a deposit; we draft the Thai–English lease and the owner signs.
Week 3 — visa lodged, car booked
Application submitted (e-visa or embassy); car reserved for your arrival date; SIM and airport pickup arranged.
Week 4 — arrival
Keys and inventory at the building, car delivered, TM30 filed within 24 hours, bank appointment booked (we know which branches open accounts for which visa), 90-day report date in your calendar.
What we do — and what we do not
Condo
Every unit on this site is in our own book with a live price and photos. No agency fee for tenants. Lease in Thai and English, deposit receipt, move-in inventory, renewal reminder.
Visa
Document preparation, application lodging and follow-up through a licensed visa partner. We are not a law firm and do not give legal advice; we do not handle your money for financial requirements, and we do not guarantee approval.
Car
Monthly rental through a partner fleet — automatic, insured, delivered to your building. The fleet's own rates and deposit apply; we do not mark them up.
Paperwork
TM30 address report, 90-day report reminders, bank-account appointment, SIM, condo utility set-up, and a Thai-speaking contact on the phone when something needs a Thai speaker.
Relocation questions
How much do I need per month to live in Wongamat?
From about ฿45,000 for a one-bedroom plus a small car, around ฿85,000 for a sea-view two-bedroom plus an SUV, and ฿130,000 or more on the beachfront. These figures use median asking rents from our live listings and current partner car rates.
Which visa should I get?
Under 50 with foreign income or savings: DTV (5 years, 180 days per entry, ฿500,000 in savings). Over 50: retirement Non-O (฿800,000 in a Thai bank or ฿65,000 monthly income). High income or assets: LTR (10 years). No paperwork appetite: Thailand Privilege. We confirm which fits on the first call.
Can I do this from abroad before I arrive?
Yes — that is the point. Visa first, then the condo reserved on a video walkthrough, the lease signed electronically where the owner agrees, and the car booked for your landing date. You arrive to keys, not to a search.
What is your fee?
Nothing for the condo — the owner pays our commission. Visa assistance is a fixed fee agreed in writing before we start. Car rental is billed by the partner fleet at its published rate.
Do you help with a bank account?
We book the appointment at a branch that opens accounts for your visa type and prepare the documents (passport, visa, lease, TM30). The bank makes its own decision; a long-stay visa and a lease in your name make approval routine.
