Non-immigrant O visa advice please.
We arrive in Thailand early next month. Our plan was to fly in on the 30 day visa exemption, then apply for the retirement visa from within Thailand.
Should we rather apply for a 60 day tourist visa in South Africa, instead of visa free, and then apply for the O visa in Thailand? We have received conflicting advice.
We don't want to apply for a retirement visa in
SA as it's time consuming and lots of paperwork.
We've had a Thai bank account for many years and meet the financial requirements. (money has been in the account for a long period as well).
We have South African passports (I have a UK passport as well, but my husband only has a SA. )
TIA 🙂
