Weighing up options here, looking at an Elite Privilege Access visa or a LTR Wealthy Pensioner Visa(you don’t have to be that wealthy really). Also do you have to use an agent for the Elite Visa? If so any recommendations and rough costings, thanks in advance. Leaving on 6 July BTW. From Oz
I have a retirement Visa that expires in April 2026. The quotes that I’ve had from the UK Internet search using the likes of compare the market for long-term health insurance are over £1800 (72k baht) for a single trip annual policy.
I will be coming out in late October for approximately six months and wondered if there were any local insurance companies who might be cheaper.
I am 68 and have no long-term health issues and would appreciate if anyone has any contacts so I could message/email them to get some local quotes.
In terms of the 65.000 THB monthly transfer to replace the 800.00 deposit for the Retirement Visa, does it need to be send from an organization (for example the Social Security), or can it be from a private account (even in my own name), assuming all months the 65.000 THB are transfered ? Thanks.
I’m going for my first extension next week. Can I ask for a multi-reentry permit at the same time and will that allow me to leave the country and return as many times as I want (during the one year period) without having to get a reentry permit each time with no worry of losing my visa?
I have lived in Thailand for 8 years with a work permit and non-b. My bank accounts are all Thai, my drivers license, residency, utility bills, income... everything is all Thai. Will that be a problem as I switch to the DTV? Should I include my non-b and WP in my paperwork?
My first successful 180 day Visa renewal just completed. All I needed was Passport, copy of DTV and new arrival card (TM6) 👏👍👊FYI I also had copies of TM30, copy of lease, proof of funds in the bank and also proof of income over the last 3 months but was not asked for them. Winning!
