Hi All

Thanks for the add I used to be a member over a year or more but left as plans changed and my husband was ready to retire then. He is now ready and we are planning to move to Phuket early April, I have the paperwork from the Thai Embassy in Australia.

We are applying for a Retirement Visa multi entries.

I am confused with some of the questions on the application

Question 18 - asks for name and address and contact details of Local Guarantor.

Question 17 - Also can we use the address of the hotel we are staying in for 3 weeks while we find find a hose.

Question - 14 What date do you use for date of departure when we don’t know.

Question - 15 duration of purposed stay in days.

Thanks for your help.

Yvonne

. In a case such as this, will Yvonne have to ensure the hotel lodges a TM30 and obtain the receipt for use when she does move into permanent accommodation?

I just received my O-A Visa yesterday from the Embassy in Ottawa. They required an actual flight confirmation and flight number.
