Hello, need to renew my retirement visa end of November 2025 and I have 2 questions. I will apply in Pattay for renewal.
1. Financial part: For my current visa I opted for deposit option of 800000 baht in KB and left that amount untouched. Can I use that same money for my renewal now so I do not need bringing in another 800000?
2. Residence: For my current current I used the address and deed of my condo which I still have but I do not live there anymore and rent it out. I am staying with my Thai partner in a private house so I do not have a rental contract. Will this prevent renewal? Do I have to reside in condo? Thank you for reading this and any ideas.
Drove to vientiane border from pattaya, drank 1 drink and came back to Thailand. When I left Thailand the IO lady was looking at the computer quite a few moments, I didnt ask why but I was thinking because I did my TDAC 5minutes before going to her 🤔
When I got back, the IO wanted to tell me that my visa is DTV and I will get 180days, that was quite funny, that was all the conversation we had 😆 never experienced explaining before, for 4years
Why I post is the budget;
Car 700thb
Gas 2500thb (honda city)
Laos visa 1700thb(+100thb because i forgot to take passport picture) thats $52 if you pay with dollars its $40
Leave your car next the 711 parking lot, 50thb. Tuktuk to bus station 50thb (i offered he accepted), bus 30thb each way
Thats a total of 5160thb for another 180days. And about 24h of time (had 2 of us, each driving one way)
I also got a speeding ticket of 1000thb, they set a trap at the mountain speedlimit lowered to 40 (altho same time says cars 60, who knows) when we were rolling down only using break 😅, a lot of fog so cant see much, i was following car ahead of me because i could see the lights, for "some reason" they looked at him and let him go and picked me 🤣
Also got picket at 1 of the 6 big stops we encountered...
I've been told I need to get a copy of my passport certified by my embassy, and then translated to Thai with a certification from the MFA. The translation isn't my concern, but has anyone gotten their passport certified by the British Embassy? It seems like British passports can be certified by local notary companies, but I'm a bit lost and on a time crunch.
Does anyone know the process? And does anyone have any recommendations in the Pattaya/Sattahip area for a notary service?
K bank account opening question. I’m visiting Pattaya to visit friends today, travelling from Phetchabun. Has anyone opened an account in Pattaya on a non O retirement visa with Kbank recently? If so which branch was it? My local branches refused me due to their particular rules.
