ORIGINAL POSTER

I'm seeking advice from anyone on a non-o retirement visa that has obtained a Used Household Goods Effects Duty Exemption.

What documentation was required and how long did it take to get  approval?  Can it be arranged online or only in person?

Thanks

You need a work permit and must bring your personal effects into Thailand within 6 months of arriving.. Only other route is returning Thai national who has been out of the country at least 12 months 👍

I don't think you can get one unless you have a work permit, which you can't get on a retirement visa
