correct. The closest I found for approved Evisa application is Hong Kong.

S Korea and Japan work also.

You can put your passport country and the country you are trying to apply from into the system on the Thai evisa site and it will tell you if you are approved.

Also, it takes 7-10 days per the website so you will be visiting a host country a bit longer than making an appointment at a Thai embassy (2-3 day turn)

love the guys that are so helpful.

Just retire and get a visa 😂

I never hear them offering up 800k to anyone!

@Christopher ************

what’s the longest time you have been in Thailand just using back/forth tourist visa border run combinations?

I initially entered Bkk on 60 day TV and 1 30 day extension.

I must leave at the end of the month. I’m in Nong Khai so I will take the bridge, but Monday is a holiday and I can’t stay that long in Vientiane so I plan on just doing a land exempt 30 day this time.

It’s just exhausting doing the countdown every 30-60 days and expensive.

@Darren *****

maybe I have to find a teaching job for a while. Visa runs are boring, expensive and always a “?”

I’ve got 5 years before retirement funds. (Hopefully)

Thanks.

@Darren *****

yes, I have not talked to an agent yet.

Anyone reliable/track record of success in Udon Thani

Area?

@Steve *******

thanks. I’m in that weird period where I can’t (shouldn’t) draw retirement and don’t have a ton of cash to throw around.

@Steve ******

ok

Anyone get a retirement visa without the 800k stashed in Thai bank or the monthly deposits?

Any resources?

Asking for a friend. Lol

or clear customs early and hang out at the airport. Depends when his flight leaves. 🛫
