Can some one kindly advise the best steps to follow to apply for a retirement visa in Thailand please

I'm currently on vacation here and wish to move to Jomtien for the first year, I am from New Zealand.

I intend to rent a condo for first year then go from there 😊

If possible best actions and any pit holes to look for thanks.

All replies gratefully received.

Can any one recommend an agent to sort out my retirement visa in Pattaya or Jomtien. They will do everything and put the 800000 onto the bank account. But they want 48000 baht each for me and my wife. Just wondering if anyone knows anyone who does it cheaper. We are from the uk and staying in jomtiem.

Activated my DTV today on a border run through a service in Jomtien area. BE WARNED - there is a fee of 2000 baht at the border crossing used by the agancies in Pattaya.

I wasnt told, but there were 3 of us on the trip and all were charged. The good part was we were escorted like VIP'S to front of line and stamped through without any issue of questions or angry officers. They said this was a charge due to the length of stay of 180 days and because the DTV is supposed to go through an airport entry.

Not sure if this is new or only this border, but if going by land have some cash with you in case.

Entering at other borders or going on your own through the border does not apply here - this is only using a border run service from pattaya area, the border guards were charging the fee ... Not the visa services.

I may try to extend in Jomtien. Has anyone extended yet? What is needed for documents and what is the process?

Recommendations please for Jomtien visa extension agent . Just don't want to be hanging around . Thanks guys
