Hi All

Thanks for the add.

We intend to retire to Hua Hin around April 2027 and we are visiting on holiday in March 2026 for three weeks.

Is there anything I can do during our holiday in March to help with the retirement in 2027.

We will both be 62 on retirement and both UK citizens.

Any advise would be appreciated.

Hi guys, question for the DTVs I am leaving Monday for first entry to DMK got all my docs ready and cannot wait!!

Just wondered whats update with getting a bank account in thailand?? I heard so much about different ones freezing etc anyone have any ideas?

I'll be moving to hua hin area

Hello everyone. My wife and I currently live in Doha, Qatar and are looking to relocate to Hua Hin in Jan 2026. We are looking at a O-A for me ans O Visas.

We been getting mix messages to if we are required to apply online thru Thai Embassy Doha or if we can do it Thailand. The appy in Thailand appears to be more straightforward vs. thru website interms of requured documentation.

Very confusing to which ditection to go, additional to wanting to avoid issues with applying the wrong way. Thanks in advance!

My husband and I, from New Zealand, would appreciate recommendations for good Visa Agents in Hua Hin, or possibly Bangkok, to assist us in managing our visa process for retirement in Hua Hin.

Given the number of difficulties that so many people appear to be experiencing at present with either IO’s or banks we’ve decided we would prefer to spend the money on an agent to make sure the process is “watertight” and goes smoothly. As such we are keen to hear from those who have recently used agents to assist in their visa matters.

We think at present that we should look at coming in on the Non-O and will require multiple entries arrangements as we will make about three trips annually given we have family living in both NZ and Dubai that we will want to visit each year-at least while we are able.

Ages 64 and 57.

Have finances sorted to meet Non-O criteria.

Have also “tested the waters” in Thailand over the past three years to determine if right for us. Hua HIN definitely our favourite.

Good day, my husband and i plan to retire in Hua Hin. We will be coming on a non o immigration visa and convert to a retirement Visa. I would like to enquire, is this possible to do whilst in the country and if so what documention would i need to submit to immigration? I know the financial requirements, just want to know if its possible to convert? TIA

Asking for a friend ka, please recommend a good and reasonable agent for work permit/visa 🙏🙏🙏

What if, as a stranger, I invest in the massage studio and get 10% - what is your experience

Our first time, we went to immigration office super fast and easy. Just show our passports, visa and house rent contract .

Hi. Anyone is this group apply for DTV themselves under muy thai and can recommend some gyms in the Hua Hin area with pricing?

My Non-O visa was approved and we will leave Thailand to re-enter and activate the visa. Currently we have a rental the lease runs out beginning of December and we will go to Hua Hin. Would I be better off to go to Hua Hin as soon as we re-enter Thailand and get a new apartment lease and TM30 for the bank account t or would it be safe to wait two weeks and then go to Hua Hin and open bank account t and get lease? TIA
