Hello everyone, is there someone who could give me the names of trustworthy visa agencies in Pattaya. I will arrive in September and I'd like to get a retirement visa. Thank you in advance. šŸ™

I should have included this in my previous question about the visa processing timeline. When I completed the application, I accidentally input the wrong end date. I should have used the same date as my health insurance expiration, but I wasn't aware of this requirement and instead wrote an end date approximately 360 days from my planned arrival date.

My insurance expires about 2 weeks before the one-year anniversary of my arrival.

When I contact the consulate about their anticipated visa completion date, should I also correct this information? They'll likely discover the discrepancy during processing anyway.

Hi everyone

Me and the Mrs intend to retire somewhere around Hau Hin. This is the plan when I retire at 62 in April 2027.

We will have £400,000 approx from our UK house sale and I will have a pension of £12,000 per annum until we receive our state pension in 2032.

We intend to use this money combined to live and rent.

We are coming for a three week visit next March, is there anything we could be doing in March to get the ball rolling.

We intend to use agents to sort everything out for us so any recommendations will be welcomed.

We realise our plans are in the future and things change but we feel any knowledge is better than non.

Thank you in advance for any help given.

Ok tried searching the group and asking friends and still get answers all over the place.

US guy (me) married to dual US/Thai woman (my wife).

She has her Thai ID still in her maiden name and two passports in married name.

She has her Tabien Baan.

For me to apply for a non-o based on marriage, do we need to get our marriage docs certified in Thailand?

Or can I apply for a non-o based on marriage using our US-based marriage certificate as "proof of relationship to a family in Thailand"?

Hey ya'll,

I'm looking into some options for long term Thai visas, anyone out there who's knowledgeable and willing to share some advice? Are there any good, reputable agencies who can offer assistance?

Thanks

My question is. I have already gained a visa until 21st of December. Can I just do a visa run and get 60 more days?

Hello community, how are you? Do you know what I mean by work documents? I applied in Hanoi, Vietnam. I've already uploaded my pay stubs and employment contract, but I don't know what else to upload. I also work freelance with clients in the marketing department and have contracts. Should I upload that too? Should I write a letter explaining the situation? This would be the third time they've asked me for more information.

I received an email today saying that my visa application was canceled due to wrong personal information.

If I reapply, will the process start completely from the beginning?

I’m wondering if there’s any chance it might be processed a bit faster this time, since I’ve already gone through the steps once.

It took exactly one week from the day I first submitted my application to receive the cancellation email.

If I submit a new application now, will I need to wait another full week, or is it possible that applications from previous applicants are processed more quickly? In Hanoi.

Thank you for your help.
