Hi everyone! I am posting anonymously as my work situation is uncertain and I do not want to share it with colleagues and others who know me.

We are a family of 3 and I am currently on work visa while my partner and child are on dependent visa. We are looking at plan B options as we want to remain in Thailand for another year at the bare minimum. So, I am reaching out to you:

1) if anyone tried the Long-Term Resident Visa (as highly skilled professional) and could share your experience?

2) which visa options you tried in a similar situation.

Any advice would help at this point

Have herd on a page yesterday that bank accounts need to be opened for 6 months before they will issue a financial letter for immigration for a extension. The person will now have to leave the country and obtain a new Non O visa.

Although it doesn't break immigration rules by having your money in for 2 months.

Does anyone know how true this is. I am going to hopefully have a married visa and hopefully the bank will look different on a marriage extension, then the retirement extension.

Thank

Hi, new to Thailand on a retirement visa, can someone explain yellow book and blue book I keep hearing about and what it helps you accomplish, Thanks

I want to change my non o visa to a retirement visa, I'm still working I'm over 50. Do I need the 800.000baht on a thai account?#

I have a question about the health check for retirement visa . Going to apply in Australia. Been looking at doing this for a while and now have the 800,000 in a Thai bank.

Question is what checks do they need and can it be done in Thailand in my next trip before applying for a visa.

Cheers.

What are the requirements for a visa for a dependant of a retirement visa holder? (In case of recorded common law marriage in USA) anyone knows more about the procedure, how and from where to apply? Thanks!

When you arrive in Thailand with a non O visa, how long does it take to change it to a retirement visa

Was watching a video where a visa agent was saying that to get your 12 month retirement extension your landlord needs to also have their own 12 month visa (or similar) and have a tax number , obviously only if foreign landlord, not seen any other mention of this, anyone know anything?

Apart from insurance, why do so many get Non O visa for retirement rather than Non OA, which to me seems so much easier with a year to prepare for your extension?

Or is it just to avoid insurance?

Thanks

Good day, my husband and i plan to retire in Hua Hin. We will be coming on a non o immigration visa and convert to a retirement Visa.
