Jakarta was very straight forward, for me 3 business days. Provided

- Passport

- 6 weeks old first page of bank statement

- medical appointment printout

- Local application form

- 2 passport photos

METV is a tourist visa. Why would you think that would be difficult as retired?

Though with the new 60 day visa exemption you could simply extend that and do 1 single border bounce to get 6 months

I dont get the bizarre illogical fear of taxes. Most western countries have double tax treaties with Thailand anyway. Only difference is your supposed to submit tax returns if you spend more than 6 months. But you are not in danger of paying double tax on income or capital gains. Just on long term savings

Jakarta?

‘Countries for which travel document is valid’ > I used the country issuing my passport

'Local Guarantor’ > Depends on what visa you are applying for, for my DTV i left blank.

If in doubt, just at at the counter when you apply.

the tax dodging comment is illogical fantasy haha. They still swipe the card and copy your passport. Its just more practical if you need more than 30k and you skip the 220 baht atm fee
