Can I change from a free visa to a retirement visa while in Thailand, and is the process complicated?

Much easier to do it in home country. I tried to do it in Thailand but was so cumbersome (without an agent) that i have done it in home country instead and not used agent for in country extensions either.

What options does my 65-year-old friend have after his 60-day visa was refused due to multiple entries?

Rok ********

Easiest to apply for non-o through local embassy. The London embassy certainly does not require a health insurance and neither does the extension in BKK. Non-OA however does require a health insurance as does the Non-OX i believe.

I may be wrong but the funds for a farang quota condo must come from abroad and not from a Thai account to qualify.
