If you don't mind the risk you are fine. I'd play safe and flying into Cambodia or Laos and then border cross. They won't stick you on a plane back to the UK/US or whatever at a border checkpoint.

The concern I have with issues like this is when the rubber hits the road, you are going to be at the mercy of the immigration officer's understanding of the matter. You may be 100% fine.

Sounds great to me. Could you tell my girlfriend? I don't think she's going to believe me. 😂

Hop on a flight to Cambodia or Laos or somewhere similar. spend a few days and come back. Vientiane, Laos is great BTW

Remember, half of the people are below average. Don’t let below average people get to you.

Besides, most of those are women and you just cannot take anything they say seriously anyway. 😂🤣

Thanks Tod. Weird thing I was expecting a three month visa but was given 12. Clearly I had applied for a visa I didn't think I was applying for. Not that I'm complaining mind.

Is there any mandatory time I need to be outside the country? I was thinking of spending two night in Ho chi Min next week.

Not Nana Plaza 🤣😂

@Steve ******

The way the agent worded it, I thought it was a different visa from the retirement visa. Quoting them verbatim

"I recommend to apply 3 months Non immigrant O with Thai embassy in your country and you can come to Thailand to contact local bank to open bank account. After than we can provide 1 year Retirement visa for you which we can process without you depositing 800,000 THB in Thai bank account."

Did I miss something in translation?

Thanks Stuart. Much appreciated.
