DTAC submission is only done 3 or less days before arrival.

Is 3 days Thailand time or departure country time ??

Hey folks. After some DTV advice.

I’m Australian but contine to travel and only head back to Aus around Christmas.

I’m currently in Laos for April.

I was hoping I could get DTV while here before returning in May. However I am being told I have to be back in Australia to do it. 🤬

Anyone have any thoughts, suggestions or alternative routes?

Tia

How much does a 30 day visa extension cost via agent? I’ve been quoted 4500 and 5000. Seems very high. 60 day tourist visa was only $40 US.

Please be gentle, my head is banging 😵‍💫

Yes, I am sure we have asked for suggestions in the past and yes I am sure you have offered meaningful guidance

We’ve looked and read as much as we possibly can from numerous sources to the point we have now totally confused ourselves

How the heck does one chose the best visa to retire to Thailand for the long term?

Seriously the more we research the more confused we seem to get, yes, I’m sure we are and have over complicated it but we’ve overcomplicated it to the point we now feel totally bewildered

We’ve read numerous accounts that it’s best to get the relevant visa in our home country (UK) before landing in Thailand

We’ve then read it’s easier to arrive as a tourist and then sort the appropriate visa once in Thailand which totally contradicts the above

Seriously can someone on here please, in clear/ simple/ uncomplicated terms help us by directing us to a suitable visa with the below possibly helping

Me and my wife are thinking it will be best if we both get our own visa so if/ when something should happen to one of us, there should be no issues with the surviving persons visa

Having and leaving 800,000 Thb in a Thai bank account each is ok

Within the next month we will be upgrading our UK driving licences to International Driving Permit so we can then convert to a Thai Driving Licence once we are settled

Thai Elite Visa is an option (but numerous people have said no need as we are over 55 with a private pension as income so there are better alternatives)

As little hassle/ agro/ bureaucracy as possible, happy for an agent to take care of our 90 day reporting

Thank you
