Is it worth going to Patteya for Retirement Visa?

Just been to Bangkok Bank in Udon Thani and asked for a simple bank account. I had my passport and 90 day retirement visa and driving licence. I’m 56 and retired and in a relationship. My girlfriend rents a home nearby. I was told that I also need a TM30 stamped at immigration office and long term rental agreement. She also tried to sell me Insurance for 50k baht for 12 months, as she said it would help my application. This is just a post for information purposes but feel free to add comments that may help!

Little bit of advice needed if anybody can help? This is my second year visiting Thailand, my girlfriend is after a visa to visit me in the UK and then we will both return to Thailand, can anybody recommend a good cheap agent or agency to help her with a visa around Nong bua lamphu or she can travel to Udon Thani or similar distance, thank you.

Hi. I’m here on a 90day spouse visa and I’m wanting to extend for 60 days. Can someone tell me what papers I need to take to immigration. I’ve tried looking on the UdonThani website but there page isn’t loading. Cheers

If I ordered a one year bank statement (Bangkok Bank, Udon Thani) on Feb 6, will it be valid for my yearly visa extension today (Feb 13). That will be 8 days after I requested the statement. I didn't realise the banks were shut yesterday, and what confused me more was that I had a confirmed appointment at immigration.

My current extension is valid until February 26.

Thank you for any comments and advice.

On Nov 26th thai visa posted all immigration offices

closed after dec 27th

until Jan 2

My under consideration stamp is for Dec 28th

Should I attempt to go on 27th and hopefully not be turned away?

It's a long drive to Udon Thani from khumphawapl!

I guess calling is an option, any way always get great advice on this site!

Appreciate any advice!

hello, new member, so thank-you... I will travelling again to thailand in February 2025. This trip I will be seeking a good visa agent in Udon Thani for a retirement non-o visa. Can anyone give a good recommendation for agents . thank-you.

Looking for agent in udon thani. For visa and licence

I am in udon Thani for next 3 weeks and want to open a bank account. I am on my wife blue book TR14. What documents are required. I have bought my UK marriage certificate wth me but will I require translation of this certificate. I checked on goggle and found some legal services I can get this done if necessary.

Just wanted to give a shout out to the Immigration office in Udon Thani regarding my 30 day extension following 60 day visa exempt. In and out within about 40 minutes, they were very helpful and spoke English well. I only had to give them 2000 baht, my passport and tell them where l was staying and they did all the paperwork and took my photo with no further questions asked. Job well done.
