Things people said might not work and did (ymmv):

* 500,000 baht was deposited into my account 2 days before applying. The funds were not in my account for 30 days.

* Partner signed up for 1 month of muay thai to start. He does plan to continue doing muay thai after that.

* NY Consulate told me that if my visa was not approved in time, I could enter the country on a regular tourist visa and reenter the country after my application was approved.

Hello, We live in uzbekistan and we would like to apply for a touristic visa but the website says we need to apply to the embassy in russia. The problem is we need a visa for russia. Can we apply through an agency or is there another alternative?

Hi everyone Cheapest yearly retirement visa

Pls

Regarding the non-immigrant O retirement visa... is it possible to apply while already in Thailand?

If so, would it be possible to do so after entering Thailand with an exemption or tourist visa and possibly after a 30 days extension?

Would the 90-day permit period be added to the initial planned exit date of the tourist visa or its extension?

Thank you for any info!

I successfully did a ninety day report online. How will I know that it has been processed and approved? Do I get something to staple in my passport?

I am half Thai (I have thai ID, passport) and helping my wife to apply for 3 months Non-O immigrant visa, are these options correct to apply the e-visa? What confuses me is the purpose of visit option says Thai Family (me as a husband?) residing in Thailand. However I "haven't" reside yet, so we only will stay in AirBnb first. Am I on the right track? I cant find another better option to choose

Further Questions for Non-O immigrant visa application for my wife. no.4. Can the financial evidence be the local currency of her local bank Country? It does not have to be Thai Bank right? We do not have any Thai Banks account yet

Health Insurance. I’ve read a lot of posts on here. Long term retirement visa coverage. Not a short travel plan.

Seems like everyone is satisfied with all these companies until they file a claim.

So many poor reviews from ALL these companies. Either they refuse to pay claims or refuse to communicate with you, or the coverage/deductibles are just ludicrous.

Who do you put your trust in? Or is this just a roll of the dice?
