Are they shortening the visa exemption from 60 days to 30 days from May 1st?

Hey all!

I’m planning on moving to Thailand permanently from the US in 2-3 months and starting to think about which visa is the best to get.

I’ve been thinking about the Education Visa. Has anybody here done that? I heard it’s possible they might not let me extend it to a different visa after that year is up. True/false?

DTV visa - pros/cons?

Retirement visa - I am not pulling social security yet so I don’t have passive income. Is this still even an option? (I’m 50 years old.)

Tourist visa runs every 60/90 days. Is this really sustainable over years?

Thank you so much for any insight!

hello, I have a question about the process to get a retirement extension. I have been living here since 2016 on retirement extensions, but have been helping a new guy, who now has had two agencies tell him he needs an education visa which three months down the road can then be turned into a retirement extension. problem is they both want a total of +- 60K baht.

it is still possible to get a 90 day tourist visa (from outside the country, online), then request an extension? are the visa agencies just not offering this because they can charge more for the education visa route? or has this avenue been closed?

also, my friend also was turned down by two banks yesterday for an account, are there still banks who will open an account for a new person with a residency certificate?

so, the questions:

1. can you still go the 90 day tourist visa route to get a retirement extension?

2. will banks still open accounts, and you just need to find the one that will?

thanks for your input!

Using the 60 days free visa without extensions please can you tell me how long we can stay in a year? And how long we have to wait in our country before returning to Thailand? I can't understand, there is nothing precise or written

Is a DTV sufficient to open a bank account…..

What is the easiest loner term visa to apply for to Thailand? How log is tourist visa and what are requirements please

Thanks for your help

Is there a good company or person around that would help me convert my non-Visa tourist entry into a possible retirement Visa while I’m here? Currently my Visa runs out on May 19 but I probably could extend for another 30 days.

Cheers
