Hello everyone.

I have a question about NON O Visa.

How many times you can apply for a NoN O based on marriage per year? Is there a limit? In example I will go this November for 3 Months to Thailand and would like to do the same next year in September 2026.

Thx for help. 🙏

This is just a general observation in the short time I have been a member of this chat group

Everybody's situation is different in their approach to what requirements there are. People's opinions differ in accordance with their needs , whether they are married or single or which bank may be best or worst Etc. we all have to play the Thai game of satisfying immigration paperwork and the requirements of being able to stay long term in this wonderful country. As long as it works for our differing situations , I don't see a problem. It's great that there are many people offering opinions and advice. Best wishes to everyone

Here's another one, please remember these are just thought's,ideas going through my head to help the process of retiring in Thailand, this is not just for me it's for anyone who needs simple answers to simple questions, anyway what's the thoughts on the bronze elite visa, it is expensive but would it solve a lot of problems, or is it just a posh tourist visa, ps no sarcasm please like on my last few posts we are all trying to learn the ins and outs of living in a gorgeous country called Thailand,

Just got my Non O visa and looking at the Digital Arrival Card, they are asking for my departure date. I'm looking to permanently retire there so what have people been doing to get around this instead of buying a return ticket. I really don't want to purchase a ticket and only get a credit towards another ticket in the future as it'll likely never be used.

Thanks In advance.

Hi all. I have been following posts of many of you moving to Thailand . Can I ask what it’s like to retire in Thailand ? What do you do to keep busy ? Also is it not a dangerous place for a single women ? It seems many of the comments suggest not , which has perked my interest in perhaps moving over, although I am a bit weary ?

Can anyone advise please?

So my wife (Thai) and I have been married for 25 years this year. We've lived in the UK for most of those years, but now looking to retire to Thailand in 2 years when our son finishes uni.

Our son is 19 and holds a British passport. He was born in the UK. Would he be able to move with us and claim Thai citizenship without messing around with visas?

My concern is the whole national service thing. We didn't register him as eligible for national service as we live in the UK and at the time we had no intention of moving back to Thailand. It would be good if my son has the option of moving with us, even if it's only for a year or two.

Would this be an issue? Cheers

I have to step outside of my zone of comfort. Only because this is a little outside of my comfort zone. If there is anybody that's able to advise me with what's more feasible. Please reach out to me on messenger. I have less than 60 days to stay the course with my original plan. Or do I have to alternate between the two.

Here's the issue. I am all set for my retirement/move to Thailand late August, early September. The only thing I have left is to apply for my retirement. I recently rearranged my first class flight from Thailand to the Philippines. From the Philippines then to Thailand. Saving me a couple thousand dollars. Now here is my issue and why I need help. The cost of the currency exchange and how hard of a is it going to hit me. My goal is Thailand. I should consider staying in the Philippines because of the what is happening with the US dollar. I am struggling with this decision. Apologize for the lengthy post. Hopefully there is somebody with some sound advice. Thanks
