Will endeavour to check out all the posts and advice and try not to ask novice questions 😬

The DTV provides incredibly good value for an over 50-year old wishing to stay in Thailand. How many of you on retirement visas have changed over to the DTV?

I have noticed on my computer ads for a 5-year. visa for 30,000 Baht. As with the rules, I will not mention the company. I have just re-newed my ret. visa so I asked them to clarify their position. They just sent me an overview without any hard facts. Any news about this, please?

Has anyone been able to renew their retirement visa (Non-Immigrant O, one year). By making sure you deposit 65,000 baht pension funds into your bank account each month? What documentation is required? What steps did you take? Thanks!

Hi team, I am brand new to the group. Appreciate you allowing me to join.

I retired in the UK recently at 60 and came over here on the visa on arrival. I already have a house with my Thai wife in Bang Saray. I now need to apply for my retirement visa.

I have had a Thai bank account for a few years and can show I have enough funds. We have taken some pictures together in different rooms in our house, the garden and in front of the house number. I believe I also need a pinned google map showing the house location. That’s as far as I have got.

Can I please ask what else I need ?

Cheers,

Paul

August 25. Do I face any issues with immigration for the new extension?

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!
