Hello I recently obtained a one year extension on my non o retirement visa and a multi re-entry permit. I’ll be leaving the kingdom soon for a few months… do I need an exit stamp or anything else before I depart? Thank you in advance.

U.S. vet here. Does my full-coverage VA healthcare benefits meet the “requirement” for health insurance if I retire in Thailand? If so, how easy or nightmarish is it navigating healthcare thru the VA in Thailand?

I met with Visa Agent in Bkk today, for retiring from USA. We reviewed Retirement Visa, Elite Gold, and then they shared with me LTR. LTR seemed too good to be true? Any advice or warnings on LTR would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Just wondering if I was to stop my ed visa would I be able to do a border run to Cambodia and come back after 24hrs on a tourist visa

So, I’m 43, and grew up on a big farm in northern Iowa, USA. We do for ourselves. It’s expected, it’s ingrained from a very early age, and even today is a cultural norm in the rural Midwest. I have never paid anyone to do what I can do myself, ie. - mow my own yard, do my own laundry, clean my own house, cook my own food (part of which I grew/raised myself). When looking at properties to rent in Thailand I was so confused at first about the lack of a kitchen and laundry room in most places until Iearned that many Thais (in urban areas) eat out, and use laundry services. I can’t kick how odd this feels for me🫤(I understand this is cultural and from my background). Why pay for services I can do for myself?? But then?… Does it cost significantly more, enough so, to rent a place with a kitchen and at least a washer, that it negates saving money by doing these things myself? And even then does the weird “I’m being lazy” feeling ever go away?

* I DO NOT THINK THAI PEOPLE ARE LAZY! I understand it’s a cultural difference, and that it’s different between rural and urban areas in Thailand.

Advice please

Why do thai embassy's ask for flights in and out of Thailand when you apply for the non immigrant visa if you have the intention of remaining in Thailand on a Retirement visa?

Can someone enlighten me please. If someone is entering thailand by air on visa exempt for 30 days, what is the limit that this can be done in one year, if there is a limit?

Hey everyone, might be a dumb question but I'm very new to this one so please be kind. So my visa expires on 28th march and I need an extension which according to the internet and some other agents, I can only get for 7 more days due to my passport. So my question is do I go for an extension on the day of expiry or is there a minimum number of days required before expiration to get the extension. Just fyi I am in Bangkok and the office should be in Chaeng Wattana if I'm not wrong. Another question I have is if I have an prospective employer here in Thailand, how much is the minimum wage to get the work permit in Thailand. Fyi I am Nepalese with a nepali passport. If any of you have this information. Please let me know.

TIA☺️☺️

Hi, I have another question! I have a job offer for English teaching in Thailand now :D. I need to bring a criminal check paper and a notarized copy of my degree. How do I get the criminal check document considering I'm American but currently living abroad in Iceland? Do I go to the American embassy here?

Also, what does a notarized copy of a degree mean? Is it just an official, unopened transcript from my university (which is also in America)?
