Are retirement visas currently available for expats moving to Thailand in July?

@Mark *****

not too late to get tested for glasses i explained in detail, very reasonably, why i suggested google-- which had nothing to do with your hysterical comments, but you are either too childish or not man enough that perhaps you had been wrong, that what i explained made perfect, logical sense. Posters like you are exactly why those seeking help should avoid FB and goto google. You do posters a disservice!

@Sammy ******

If you're not blind or hallucinating, it's not to late to apologize for the lie you told. Your apology will be accepted, but please try not to keep exaggerating and lying, there's a good boy. ;)

@Mark *****

you need remedial lessons-- no apology given, but will accept yours-- your just too foolish to realize when ur wrong. exactly why posters should mot listen to u on FB.

@Sammy ******

until and unless you admit the obvious - that you lied, and you apologise for it, we have nothing more to discuss, and others should also be very reticent to believe anything you say. Stop lying.

@Mark *****

hahaha you are delusional, but proving my point again as to why no one should turn to the likes of you for advice, you don't even understand how google works.

@Sammy ******

you are a liar, just admit it and clear your conscience.

I have never said a bad word about Google, and I often use it, so again you are lying! Stop it, you’re making an absolute fool of yourself!

@Mark *****

well, in your case, if the shoe fits....

@Sammy ******

Likewise

@Mark *****

so original- hahaha.

@Sammy ******

Certainly more original than answering a genuine question with "Google it".

@Mark *****

you really do miss the point-- the "Google" answer had absolutely nothing to do with trying to be original. It was in its simplicity, the absolute best answer available. I can see why you may need such groups to answer ur questions as it appears you don't understand how Google works.

@Sammy ******

You're absolutely right - the "Google" answer isn't original and hasn't been original for years - smartarses have been using it since before this site started.

@Mark *****

boy, way off track again, don't t you get tired of being so wrong all the time. Of course, no one uses Google to research information. I wonder why it's the number one search engine in the world if it's of no use? hahaha-- keep living that fantasy, im sure it keeps u calm.

@Sammy ******

just give up, you surely must be sick of displaying how foolish you are by now, everybody else is.

@Mark *****

look in the mirror-- ur the one talking google is useless, i just pointed out that billions of people disagree.

@Sammy ******

just look at the other comments here on your foolishness, you’ll see just how silly you look to the majority here with your nonsense.

@Mark *****

it appears you also don't know how to read?! but ur thoughts on Google bring useless are priceless examples of your intelligence level. let's see, there are billions of users, then there's you. hahaha priceless!

@Sammy ******

you are obviously the one unable to read. I have said absolutely nothing about Google being useless. I don’t believe it is. You however apparently think the only purpose of this group is to advertise what seems to be your absolute dependence on Google. It isn’t. Just keep up your “good work’, keep on demonstrating to all the other users here just how foolish and petty you are, I’m sure they are enjoying it, meanwhile the rest of us will continue to use the group as the useful and helpful tool that it can be.

@Mark *****

Again, trouble with reading, or perhaps comprehension? were you a "special needs" student? seems likely. if u had read, i offered google as an alternative for asking others to do one's most basic research. not only can it be more accurate and up-to date, but easier to digest than the often, very contradictory views among a large number of comments.

It is actually helpful in getting more accurate information from FB groups to narrow, be more specific, with a question. look at google, then when it has easily answered most of your questions, THEN, take back the single specific question the poster has been unsble to find, or whose answer they find confusing.

This, unlike your disparaging and inaccurate characterizations of my comments, makes perfect sense for some who can read at middle school levels ( perhaps this is why u are having trouble).

Also, i recognize that some do not like md referring posters' simpke and general questions to google, as it removes the thrill they get in playing secretary for someone unable to do even the most basic research. Those enablers are actually doing a disservice to the poster by not guiding them on how to help themselves. I made the reference to the old axiom about teaching them to fish rather than just giving them the fish, but that reference likely zoomed over ur head.

@Sammy ******

You are obviously the special needs person (I doubt that you were ever a student). You are apparently imbibing some sort of hallucinatory substance, having accused me without any reason at all of suggesting that Google is useless. Seek treatment for whatever addiction you have.

@Mark *****

hahahaha-- great reply, just another perfect example of my points!

@Don **********

so, u believe that regardless of how available, and likely more accurate the information might be found on govt sites, you think playing the enabler role is actually helpful?? C'mon, fess up, ur actually providing answers to get a thrill for yourself , help to the op is secondary.

@Sammy ******

to not be a smartarse.

@Hettie ******

Not misleading anyone. All my info is correct.

@Steve ******

then you have to check your info again.

@Hettie ******

my friend has oa from aust never once had to di border runs he has been here 5 years

@Marlene *****

@Steve ******

for 2 years yes…after that ….border run if getting OA in your home country

@Hettie ******

Nope, you can extend the OA indefinately without leaving Thailand. The visa expires after 1 year but the extention of stay can be renewed every year in Thailand

@Marlene *****

Yes, my information IS correct unlike yours. Do try and keep up!

@Marlene *****

Stop posting wrong info! FFS

@Marlene *****

your info is incorrect i live in thailand have a non retirement visa you just renew every 12mnths .there is no border crossings to be done at all

@Paul ******

@Paul ******

I was talking about OA VISA THAT YOU GET IN YOUR HOME COUNTRY

@Paul ******

with the OA visa that you get in your home country..you have to do border runs after 2 years of extension

@Andy **********

@Steve ******

yes but you have to do a border run with OA visa that you get in your home country…

@Andy **********

non O evisa does cover retirement, available in your home country and much easier to get than in Thailand

@Andy **********

@Sammy ******

I posted the link to the Thai Consulate.

@Sammy ******

do you feel better now?

@Ruth ******

somewhat, and you?

@Tim ********

I know. They’re so obnoxious … nothing better to do with their lives.

@Ruth ******

yes, just like those who sit waiting for some question wh9se answer is easily obtainable online, but you prefer to be enablers and jump to answer --- talk about someone with nothing better to do w8th their lives!! haha
