Hi, looking for you expets to check my retirement visa plan please :-)
I own a house in Hua Hin but don't have my Yellow book yet. I have 800,00 in my Thai bank for more than 3 months, I'm 53.
I am planning to arrive BKK with visa waiver stamp, then apply Non-Immi A-O visa in Hua Hin, then apply for 1 year retirement extention after getting my Yellow book & bank letter.
Am I going down the right path? Any help appreciated.
