Hi Guy's, I hit 60 and retiring from work in August, and moving from OZ to Thailand with my wife. From what I understand, we will need to have a separate bank account with 800,000 baht in each account as well as a monthly income. My question is, does the $800.000 baht have to remain untouched and if so, for how long? Does anyone have a copy of tge rules around this? Thanks.

UK national married to Thai.

wishing for some advice on which way to go initially …Tourist visa, Retirement or Marriage visa? I/we intend to reside in Thailand for just short of 6 months with a view to becoming more permanent later. Of course I would rather spend less time dealing with acquisition of visas as I come and go (staying longer later) mindful too of tax status.

What are my best most sensible options to consider if I have provided you enough info.

P.s seasoning of any funds is no issue as I have an existing primed bank account

I will be applying for my next visit for a tourist visa via the e-visa system, via the UK embassy.

Probably a simple answer, but it asks for proof of finances of no less than 20,000 baht. Will they accept the £ equivalent as shown on uk bank statements?

Hi, is it possible to join the health care network in Thailand with a retirement visa ?? 😃

Thank you ! 🙏

Can I just do the TDAC 3 days prior arrival?

Anyone has recent experience with regards to the LTR VISA processing time. I have submitted my application back in late Februrary, and BOI requested additional information on my insurance requirement on Mid-March which I have provided necessary doc the same day. And I have yet to hear back since then. Now I know a lot has happened during this time (earthquake, Songkran) which might have added additional time to this process, which I heard normally take around 20 business days. Have tried reach out earlier this week, but have yet to hear anything back.

Hi all,

I applied with AXA nearly two weeks ago. I sent an email last week to obtain a status update and they acknowledged receipt but are still working on it.

For those that applied with AXA, is this the normal process? If so, how long did it take to get a decision?

Are there any other reputable and approved insurance companies?

I am hoping to move soon and I’m seeking the 10 year Wealthy Pensioner LTR. I know there are other easier or better VISA options but I simply like the benefits this LTR affords.

TIA

Gonna be heading to Cambodia to apply for my DTV visa any recommendations on length of time I should stay in Cambodia for while awaiting my DTV ? Or can I simply go and apply and head back to Thailand after a few days? All help or advice greatly appreciated thanks

To those who got their passport abroad, what did you type in "place of issue"? My passport doesn't have this field so I'm struggling because of the posts of several people who got their application cancelled because they filled in the country where the passport was issued. My passport has the voice "Authority". Should I type in what it's written there? I mailed the embassy which replied me "Fill in the form in full accordance with the information in your passport". Please only replies from those who have already applied in a situation similar to mine. Thanks

I used to do border runs for visa free entry but in February Thai customs at bkk airport told me to stop doing visa exempt runs and apply for a DTV or tourist visa. So in April I went to Manila to apply for a DTV visa which was rejected (I posted my experience with the dtv rejection in this group around 5 days ago) and then applied for a tourist visa afterwards. Attached is the email they just sent me.

Not sure what they want from me at this point but this is beyond frustrating.
