@Johnny ********

he probably brought over an older model that was locked to a certain provider… that was the case with many types of phones not just iPhones .. at least in Canada one cannot see a locked phone to customers any longer and it has been this way for years.

@Pe ***

given that the eye phone is a case that has nothing to do with thailand or any Thai cell service provider. Most likely a defective product. And given that the eye phone is a case it is not possible that it is locked to a home network.. so the OP still seemed to be retiring to iPhones

@Johnny ********

this is not correct. iPhones work in Thailand. You just need to have an unlocked phone of any make … which I and many others do 🙏🙏🙏🙏

What is the process for obtaining a Non-O visa from the UK?

Al ********

when you go the visa site the Non O visa is actually under the “other visas” link… then look for the retirement option…

You are actually applying for a 90 day visa which you will then open a bank account in Thailand and then apply for a year extension.. hope that makes sense now

Is it harder to get a retirement visa in Thailand compared to retiring in Mexico?

Al ********

Mexico is definitely more expensive than Thailand 🇹🇭 unless you enjoy living in the deep desert or mountains 🏔️… not someplace nice …

Also Thailand has way better food …

Mexicans are wonderful people… love them as much as the Thais…

Have not even said one word about the cartels and violence.. okay now I have …

Thailand for the easy win
