hello to all!

need advice, moving to Thailand next month with 1 dog.

Am I forced to take an A/R flight or will just one way do it? , I don't risk being refused because I will return with a tourist visa and then ask for my retirement visa on the spot?

where should the retirement visa procedures be done before coming back?

Do you have a solution to my problem?

Thank you

Bonjour à tous !

j'ai besoin de conseil, je vais m'installer en Thaïlande le mois prochain avec 1 chien.

Suis-je obligé de prendre un vol A/R ou juste un allé simple peut suffir?, je ne risque pas de me faire refuser car je vais rentrer avec un visa touriste et ensuite sur place demander mon visa retraite?

ou faudrait-il faire les démarches de visa retraite avant de venir?

avez vous une solution à mon problème?

Merci

Answer summary

The user is seeking advice on moving to Thailand with a dog, specifically regarding the necessity of a return flight and the application process for a retirement visa. A comment suggests that it is preferable to apply for the retirement visa in the user's home country, which would simplify entry into Thailand without the need for a return flight, especially if arriving with a Non-O visa for 90 days.

Il est préférable de déposer votre demande dans votre pays. Cela facilitera grandement les démarches à votre arrivée. Vous n'aurez pas besoin de vol de retour ni de correspondance si vous arrivez avec un visa non-O de 90 jours.
