Yes, you can do that. And that’s what my husband and I will be doing. You’ll hear many people tell you not to waste money on an agent. But it’s totally up to you as an individual how you want to handle getting your retirement visa.
Personally, I felt the hoops I had to jump through to apply online was slightly more involved than going to Thailand and applying for the visa there. But that’s my own personal opinion.
