Have a complex application - husband is eligible for retirement visa with decent UK income. I am 48 and his dependant. We also have an 18 yr old who is an online A-level student for the next 12 or 24 months (exam dependent) then he will be off to uni in the UK.

We are currently travelling in Egypt on a 6 month tourist visa.

Should we apply to the embassy here in Cairo ? Or do we come for a visit to Thailand and then apply there using an agent? Not sure what is the easiest and best way to apply.

Thanks for any advice - appreciated much!

I have a retirement visa and re entry stamp in my passport but I’m seeing conflicting information about if I need to complete an ETA electronic travel authorisation or a digital entry permit. I’m not even sure if these are the same thing. Can someone who has traveled back to the kingdom please advise me. I’m traveling on a British passport.

Hello everyone,

I'm not in Thailand yet, but I'm hoping to move when I retire in a few years.

One question: I've read that you may not do volunteer work with a Retirement Visa as it's considered work. Is this true? If true, do people defy it or is that too risky?

Thank you in advance to anyone who can answer:)

Can someone tell me when I need to do my 90 day report?

Is it 90 days from the start of my new retirement extension or from my last 90 day report?

Many thanks

It seems that for those that qualify based on the passive income requirement, the LTR is an easier option for a long stay. Is there an advantage by going the non o to oa route over the ltr?

Hi i have a question regarding my entry into thailand

I have a retirement visa with multiple entry

This will be my first time entering Thailand since issue upon entry do i need to go and get a 90 day stamp in my passport?

I'm out of Thailand. I will be back on September 10. I have a retirement visa valid until July 22.

I prepared a Non-Immigrant Visa(O) retirement purposed e-visa request ready to be submitted, including bank statements for the last three months.

Should I wait until July 23 to submit it or I can proceed right now? Asking because I'm not sure if the current valid visa can "interfere" with the new one for which I'm applying.

Did my OA extension of stay in Chaeng Watthana Division 1 in Bangkok today and was successful in getting my passport stamp for another year in the Kingdom. It went pretty smooth, with minor hiccups. This was my first extension and I thought about getting an agent but decided to do it on my own. I’m glad I did because I saved a lot of money and learned a lot with the process. Immigration was actually very helpful by copying some forms that I forgot to. Just posting to let people know it’s not that hard to do, just do some research and see what you need to bring to your particular office.

I'm in Bangkok with a 3 month Non-O visa wanting to extend for retirement. I was getting my documents together and then checked the web and there is no mention of proof of condo rental or health insurance. What am I missing here?

I'm on non o retirement visa that's up for renewal January next year. I usually apply for renewal December. My question is, my passport expires April 2027, so will have 15 months left on it at time of visa renewal. Is it a requirement to have at least 18 months left on passport, or will I be alright to get new passport after visa renewal. Thanks.
