Has anyone made the switch from dtv to retirement? Any advice? Pros? Cons?

what with current crackdown on existing visa requirements what about agencys depositing 800k baht in bank for retirement visa.....??? has this or will this be stopped??

Looking for recommendations for retirement visa agents pls, preferably one that can do it with passport only rather than having to attend in person. I’m around Khon Kaen if that helps.

I have a non-O retirement visa. I'm going to immigration on December 18th to apply for my one-year extension. I'm also applying for a Multiple Re-entry visa. I'm probably going to Cambodia for a few days sometime in January 2026, and I'll definitely be returning to Belgium for about two months in June. What should I fill in on the TM 8 form? Thank you in advance for your positive responses.

Hello everyone. My partner is British, he’s 73 years old. He’s entered Thailand on 15 November by Multiple tourist visa apply in Uk which will expire on 14 January. He would like to live in Thailand for 6 months.

Question!

Should he extend tourist visa on 10 January? So he can live 1 month and Then he fly to Singapore for 7 days on 14 February. He fly back to Thailand. So he can stay in Thailand 60 days?.

Or on 10 January he fly to Singapore and apply for non o visa then fly back to Thailand so he can stay 90 days?.

He booked the flight back to uk on 15 May 2026.

He got 2 strokes which is difficult for him to walk.

Many thanks.

Hopefully a simple question, for a Non O retirement renewal if I used the 65k per month option can it it be in more than one transfer per month? I have sources of income that exceed the 65k in total but not individually and the individual components may vary from month to month, if ever there was a short month I could make a transfer from savings to meet any shortfall, thanks

I have just been quoted 49000thb for arranging a retirement visa!!!!

Having read peoples experiences DIY I might just give it a go (as long as it's not stressful!!)

I applied for non o retirement in Sydney unfortunately it was not approved until 24hrs after i arrived in Koh Samui so my question is will bank accept all details I havr and allow opening an account or will I have to head to Singapore for the day to activate the visa before bank will accept? I dont plan on staying long term until February 🤔

Hello all, I will be applying for a non immigrant O-A visa soon. But there is an issue apart from the visa procedures that I am not so sure about. I would be very greatful if you could enlighten me please.

After I get the visa, do I need to have an onward ticket out of Thailand in order to board the plane to Kingdom and is an onward ticket out of Thailand is also required for entry into Kingdom by immigration. Thank you all for your attention.
