Working in Kazakhstan and returning to Thailand soon, so decided to finally apply for a non-O as a prelude to getting a retirement visa. Been on my agenda for a while. Wanted to be able to open a bank account next visit.

1. Submitted application online on Thursday night.

2. Received a request to send a copy of my Kazakh work visa on Friday and did so on Friday evening.

3. Received my non-O visa this evening (Monday) at 21:25!

Lots of very negative people on some of these Thailand forums. Perhaps it’s the price of living through daily hangovers that causes the negativity towards Thailand? A form of alcohol induced depression, maybe not helped by their lifestyle and continually trying to beat the system? Anyway, just a thought.

How quickly would foreign people wanting to visit the home country, of many of these tourists/retirees, have to wait to get a visa granted and how many hoops would they have to jump through?

Round of applause for the visa service of the Thai government!

Hi all,

Looking for guidance and help.

I own a uk business and pay uk taxes, I live in the UK.

I am planning on getting the dtv visa, for my situation as a business owner, and moving to thailand permanently.

I am currently in thailand now and looking for suggestions on how best to obtain the visa without returning to the UK to apply, has anybody had success in a neighbouring country to thailand and how long did it take to be approved from application?

Also, since I would be spending more than 180 days in thailand in a calender year, would I owe taxes in thailand?

To add to this, I was working paye in the uk until July 2024 so no personal tax returns to display, business has corp tax and vat returns, and I have a paye slip until July this year, what would the embassy need on this point?

I did ask uk hmrc this before I left and also the embassy and they said as long as you are paying taxes in the uk still then nothing more to be done.

Is there an agent with experience in getting a pensioner LTR organized for a Dubai resident?
