So can someone explain the 90 day report? I thought it’s 180 days? What are you supposed to do at the 90 day mark?

Hi All

Looking for a basic plan / advice.

I intend on retiring for a few years in Thailand in 12 months. I’m from the UK, age 55.

Thai girlfriend for 5 years, house now built near Kalasim, everything good.

Travel to Thailand every 12 weeks, and my girlfriend has been to the UK with me 3 times.

Worked all my life, and just want to relax and enjoy the next 5 to 10 years while I’m still able to.

I don’t have a Thai bank account.

Which visa should I apply for in the uk, and what steps do I need to take to keep things simple.

Thanks so much for your help and advice.

Sean

As I understand it, Elite visa holders do not require the long stay 400,000b health insurance policy that holders of O & OA visa require.

As I also understand, as of 19/10/21 the amount of cover required for long stay visas has increased from 400,000b to 3,000,000b.

The increase in price of this new requirement is dependent on individual circumstances, but it is likely to be very substantial in line with the cover increase..

Can someone confirm that the Elite visa has/not the requirement for compulsory health cover ? (Please keep advise about the usefulness of insurance to yourself)

Can anyone confirm the 60 day visit Thai family extention is available from a Non Imm O based on being over 50.

Has anyone gone back to thailand from the uk on a stv or an o visa?

Im not getting any reply from the longstay thailand company your advised to go through

Many thanks for any info

Sent to me today from the US Embassy.

Local immigration will give a 30 day extension

This will be interesting to see go into effect...just announced. Lets wait for actual implementation actions by Thai Immigration and Embassy/Consulates which issue long stay visas.

Thanks
