@David *******

Spent 42 yrs in Australia,then retired and came back to NZ,now I was planning on living permanently in Thailand with my Thai wife and family so I rang Centrelink International services as I get Aussie pension paid through NZ WINZ and asked them for a portable pension and they told me I had to return to Australia for two yrs so at 73 yrs they can shove it up their you no where

@David *******

so do you need an exit ticket after the 60 day visa or can you get away with an exit ticket after 90 days

@David *******

$300 for a 60 day tourist visa from NZ now.Was $60 prior to fee increase

I use agoda or trivago to find a hotel then go to the hotel website and check their prices.Some hotels will give you a better price as they then don’t have to pay commission to agoda,booking.com etc

Because they are ripping the public off

@Michael *******

do you keep it in a seperate account then

@Wayne ********

yes agree with that $300 for 60 day tourist visa.Ive booked to arrive Thailand early October so fingers crossed this 60 day visa exempt will be in by then.If all good by then will fly to DaLat Vietnam for the flower show then back to Thailand

Can you have the 0bht on a yearly fixed term account.Is immigration ok with that.

I’ve always been asked for my visa and onward flight by qantas at Auckland airport.
