Hi I have a non o visa for 90 days, based on retirement. I am going to do an extension soon. I have transferred the 800000 BAHT,from the UK, two months ago. I tried to get a Credit advice statement from Kasikorn bank. They gave me one but some of the transfers I did with Remitly were not included. Anyone any ideas what I can do. Is it possible to take transfer receipts from the UK to prove they are foreign payments

Anyone got any recommendations for the gym that offers the cheapest endorsement for the Muay Thai DTV visa please?

Or if not what is the cheapest way around getting endorsed for any Muay Thai/ educational way?

I want the visa but don’t want to spend loads of money on classes as seems pointless

Hi,

On 6 June 2024 the IO here in Chiang Mai granted me an extension of stay based on the Non - O over 50 (retirement) visa using the international bank transfer of 800,000 baht. The expiry date ends on July 2 2025 (in effect 13 months according to the stamps in my passport).

The next extension of stay will be applied for and based on the monthly income method of 65,000 baht minimum international bank transfer every month for 12 months.

Question:-

Do the 12 x monthly statements run from:-

1) June 2024 to May 2025 inclusive (12 months);

2) July 2024 to June 2025 inclusive (12 months);

3) June 2024 to June 2025 inclusive (13 months).

Regards!

Graham

I currently reside in the US and I finally secured health insurance to meet the visa requirements.

I know this sounds like an idiotic question but I’m going to ask anyway. What is the easiest way to wire funds directly to the insurance company’s United Overseas Bank (UOB) account?

I have attempted to use Western Union, Wise, and even looked into international wires on my credit union website with no success.

Wise doesn’t list UOB. Western Union errors out citing the need for a BIC/Swift code. And I didn’t see the option to wire funds internationally for any of my 4 credit unions. Its late so Im sure I am overlooking something.

Any suggestions? TIA

Dear all, another quick question if I may. I'm completing the evisa application and it asks for my occupation. I automatically stated my current role but I'm retiring before our planned arrival date in Thailand and plan to apply for a retirement visa once we complete the paper chase. Should I put retired on mine and my wife's applications? The supporting bank statements will show a monthly income at the time of application. As ever, thanks in advance for your advice.

Has anyone refinanced a mortgage after the 3 year initial period?

What kind of fees does that entail? Is it easy?

And is it worth it to just get the lower 3 year rate vs having it reset to MRR?

Also what about switching banks vs staying with the same bank? Is that possible?

To all the grumpy expats with nothing going on in their lives…I’m not interested in your jaded opinions. Keep it to yourselves. 😂
