May I request the attention of the Oracles in this ass saving group, please?
Australian passport
Admitted on Non-Immigrant O A multiple entry Visa one year based upon Retirement. Arrived Swampy 4 September 2017.
Extended one year to August 6, 2019
(Special thanks to Steve Grier)
Given proposed cessation of Income Stat Decs by Australian Embassy in January 2019 I'm wondering if my current thinking is plausible....
My thinking... December 31, 2018
Leave Thailand by 6August 2019
Return to Australia
Apply for new Non-Immigrant O A Visa based upon retirement. Using Government Military Pension which is well in excess of 65 000 THB per month. Very verifiable.
I do not want to tie up 800000thb in a Thai Bank.
This is how I qualified for my original Non-Immigrant O A Retirement Visa.
Assuming approval this would allow me another up to two years in Thailand if used correctly.
This would take me to Age 76 by which time I may hang up my spurs and go home.... or not!
Thoughts, please...?
Why am I raising this now....? Simply because I am an Anal Retentive.
postscript...
And yes I know rules change so I acknowledge any replies can only be based upon current rules and not speculation. Thank you All.
Further Post script
Reason for not wanting funds in Thai bank account... I do have one
Is twice before I was victim of Government policy which cost me... once in Iran once in Greece so very wary of Government decisions. Especially here.
Just clarification... is there any reason the Thai Embassy in Australia would not allow back to back Non Immigrant O A multiple entry Long Stay based upon Retirement? If I went that route?
