ok good to know, thanks for the clarification.

@Stephen ******

it's a 90 days visa you apply for before you apply for your 12 months retirement visa here in Thailand. This is for people over 50 only.

@Stuart **********

thanks a lot. I didn't know what the procedure was.

@Chris ******

thanks. They did give me s date.

@Warren *****

how many visits did you have to do? I have to do the same type of work done.

@Brandon ***********

thanks, this is exactly what I wanted to know. Can I get the 90 days non-o visa from Phnom Penh? Come back to Thailand, open a bank account, transfer the necessary funds, then apply for 12 months retirement visa. It sounds like a yes.

@Graham *****

good point. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure that you have to keep your phone service in your country if you want to keep your whatsapp number. That is if it's attached to your current phone. If you cancel your phone service and that same number is assigned to another person and they decide to use WhatsApp, then you will lose your whatsapp. At least that's my understanding of it.

@Kerry ******

you have to live there though?
