Retirement visa 1 year in my passport, kicks in 25. July 2025 until 25. July 2026. Immigration knew, from my return ticket that I am leaving Thai today (24. July 2025).
Yellow Book: Just back from the District Office Samut Prakan. A pile of documents, my attorney took and certified what was requested with MFA.
There was an interview, the officer said I am all clear with the District office, no more documents or visits needed. However, one thing remains, it is their procedure: they will inquire with the Australian Embassy in Bangkok about me. The timeline is 30 days. If no reply within 30 days (the office does not expect any reply), I can come with my wife and fetch the Yellow book.
