I wish to retire to Thailand later this year. From UK, I’ll be depositing 800,000 in Bangkok Bank. My gf says they told her I just need my proof of accommodation (TM30?). Then I wait 2 months with proof of funds before applying for the year extension.

Does this sound like a plan ?

Please be nice. Some of you guys can be big meanies 😂😂😂

SUPER LAST-MINUTE SUCCESS STORY !!!

I’ve been checking the Hanoi and Ho-Chi-Minh embassy websites every hour for the last three days for an online appointment, but everything was fully booked. Yesterday at 2:00 a.m., an appointment spontaneously became available in Hanoi for the same day at 9:40 a.m. I booked the embassy appointment, the flight, the hotel, printed all documents —everything—within 3 hours. Five hours after booking, I was already sitting on the plane to Vietnam. I landed at the airport at 8:30 a.m. and took a taxi straight to the Thai embassy, arriving around 9:50 a.m. Luckily they didn’t mind the 10 minutes delay.

I submitted my documents yesterday (Wednesday) and by this evening, I had already received an email confirming my visa. Tomorrow (Friday), I can pick it up and fly back to Thailand.

My passport is from Western Europe, and I took the Medical Treatment Route.

I’ll make an overview of the total costs.

Costs:

1. DTV Visa 340 USD ~ 11000 baht

2. Flight BKK to Hanoi = 3660 baht

3. Hotel in Hanoi for 2 days = 2000 baht

4. Flight Hanoi to BKK = 1500 Baht

5. Mobile Internet for Vietnam = 430 baht

6. Grab Taxi from my home to Don Mueang airport = 380 baht

7. taxi hanoi airport to Thai Embassy = 800 baht

8. passport photo (70000 VND) 92 baht

9. photocopy (5000vnd) 6.69 baht

Total = ~19.808 Baht

I want to move on Thailand. Can I stay in Thailand without working visa

I will submit my application on May 7th for retirement visa. It takes approximately 15 days I have been advised. I don't intend leaving Thailand until 27th May and I have been advised that is ok. As far as travel within that 15 day period it will be necessary for me to go to Sakon Nakhon for 2 days and return to Hua Hin where the application has been submitted. Now my simple question am I allowed to make that journey within the 15 day period. I have heard people say you can't go anywhere for 15 days as immigration may check you live at the address given

I've been reading the embassy information about visas. My Thai/American wife and I are seriously considering moving to Thailand this year or early next. I can use either an American or UK passport, but it appears to me that the LTR visa for retirees is a good deal. And I can apply for it here in Washington DC. Am I missing something, or is this a good visa?

Been trying all day to get insurance that covers the 100,000 USD

For a 60 day visa everything comes back only 20 000 cover for thai pass and not acceptable for visa I'm I doing something wrong.

Hello, do you guys know what’s the procedure to buy a second hand motorcycle in Thailand and what’s the requirements to transfer it to your name i don’t have the thai driver license

Hi there I just need some advice and clarity for what I am doing and applying for. I lived in Bangkok before for over 6 years working as an English Teacher. I also have a Thai wife and 2 boys. I returned back to England about 3 years ago for multiple reason am only returning now.

I wish to get over there and then land a teaching job securing another visa through that. I’m not sure if a tourist visa or non immigrant visa o is best. I have more than enough in my bank as evidence and a letter of invitation. I booked my flight for 17th Jan and hotel with 1 night test and go. I didn’t start my Thai pass so now will change my hotel to 7days quarantine. I do however already have my insurance and booked my PCR test this end. I’m double vaccinated and will print out certificates. So main questions are what have I missed and what Visa should I apply for?

Thanks in advance

Dear Sirs and Madames

I have been living in Thailand for over 10 years and today I am reading a Guardian Visa for the first time.

I have 2 sons in Thailand 5 + 6 years old.

Both have German and Thai passports. The 6 year old is coming to the government school in Koh Samui in June. For the past 3 years he has been in a Thai kindergarten. The 6 year old lives with me permanently.

For the past 10 years I have always had a Non Immigrant O-A Visa. A lot of paperwork every year and 800,000 baht on my Thai account. Do I also need so many papers for the Guardian Visa? Does that only apply for 1 year?

What is the Advantage from a Guardian Visa?

Hi i have a o-a multi entry visa dew for renewal mid Dec, I have no problem depositing bt800000 into my Thai bank account next month dew to a few problems in the UK, money in my Thai bank account has dropped below bt800000 and dew to the exchange rate my pensions have dropped below the requirements, also as I was going between the UK and Thailand I have not been transferring my pension to my Thai bank account, and I'm thinking I will not get a renewal of my visa is this correct tia
