I have been reading comments and advice, for several months. I’ve learned so much; and it lead me to decide to apply for a Non-OA Visa, based on retirement, from the London Embassy, which I received yesterday.😃
I decided on this Visa, to avoid the need to deposit 800,000Baht in Thailand, earning little interest.
My plan is to exit Thailand, in just under 1 year’s time, re-enter on a Visa Exemption; and obtain a Non-O Visa, using the monthly deposit system.
(I’ve been particularly impressed by the advice given out by Tod Daniels)
I’m so looking forward to getting back to the LOS, next month; and to living in my new “home”
Thanks to all the “advisors” and, of course, all the folks asking for advice, without whom, the advice wouldn’t be shared.🤔
