What information is required for a 60-day tourist visa to Thailand for retirement purposes?
Hi all
Please be kind….
What are we doing wrong?
We are trying to organise a 60 day visa online for our pending travel to the kingdom of smiles from the UK
Our aim is to sort a retirement visa at the earliest opportunity upon arrival upon which I appreciate we will need to provide a lot of information
However,
The form we are filling in is asking for a letter from our employer (we do not work)?
A letter from a school (we did not work in education)?
A pension statement (that is not due until October)?
The Identity of the person inviting us to stay (as in a Thai person)?
Is this correct? Do we really need to provide such information for a 60 day visa?
What happens if you do not have the above (as we don’t)
Confused Dot Com 😵💫🥴

none of that info is required for a TR visa - are you absolutely sure you have picked the right visa option. In Australia, a TR vusa can only be applied for by mail or in person at the embassy.Andrew *******
If it is then none of the questions apply

Use your hotel booking for the person inviting you.
Anything else that doesn't apply to a tourist just upload an image that says "not applicable"
