Got my retirement visa extension valid until 30. September 2026. multiple entries.
I guess it kicks in after my current non-O 90 days visa expires.
Timeline:
4. July 2025. Friday: consultation, paperwork, copies at Thai Visa Center, payment (1 hour)
7. July Monday - opening bank account. TVC staff was at the bank branch to assist (TVC car picked me up, 40 minutes at the bank, brought me back home)
8. July Tuesday - processing
9. July Wednesday - my passport with 1 year retirement extension and multiple entries and my bank passbook in my hands( My ATM card was with me when I left the bank). A messenger delivered passport and bank passbook about noon.
It was very quick, possibly, I got lucky and was within a batch of other applicants that they process once a week or in 10 days
I’m close to my 2 year window to go to retire in Thailand. Question, my spouse who just went to LA to Thai consulate to renew her passport made me think about this. Should I apply for a retirement visa in the US before I go or get an agent once I’m there? No experience with any of this.
I have a Non-Immigrant 0 visa from the Thai office in Vancouver, BC. It is valid from September 23 to December 21, 2024.
IF I can't travel to Thailand by December 21, ( I am in the process of selling my house in Vancouver) will I be able to extend the visa or do I have to start over again?
Also will someone please recommend a reasonable agent to help me with this visa. I used a legal firm to apply the visa and it was 16,490 baht. To continue with the opening of bank account and visa run they want another 25,680 baht. I think that is too much from what I have read.
Hi guys, last week I got a ton of questions from mainly personal friends about how I got my DTV.
Instead of explaining it to each of them, eventually I decided to just make a video how the application process worked in Germany. I was also able to open a bank account at BKK Bank with the DTV after coming back to TH. Maybe it helps anyone who is interested.
