You are on a visa exempt stamp.

I would drop the Embassy in BKK a note.

As UK is out of the EU some reciprocating agreements are no longer in place.

I am a UK citizen and before Brexit Eire had a visa waiver scheme for Thailand nationals that had a UK visit visa. Which was great as France declined a visit visa so we spent a week traveling around Eire and very nice to it was.

Yes.

@Simon ******

you will have a 6 month grace period out of the kingdom so will not look too suspicious. It's when is back to back year in and year it raises a flag if an immigration officer is not feeling the love on that day.

Bear in mind the 60+30 can change at any time. It was a post COVID sweetener to get people into the Kingdom. It's now helping Russian men not having to go back to Russia. It's drives more tourist $ into the economy so always a balance. Retirement visa if you can meet the criteria is the way to go. You can get a bank account and other bits sorted.

@Tony ********

you know they can see your travel history when they scan your passport and take your fingerprints.

Retirement visa is for a year so you would need to come back and re apply.

You can get 60 days upon arrival depending your home country. You can then apply for 30 days more.

You could then go to Cambodia for a few days and come back in and start to the 60+30 days again then leave for 6 months and start again.

60+30 back to back is up to the immigration officer and final.

They love paperwork in Thailand and you need to get a TM30 issued within 24hrs of arriving into the Kingdom. No TM30 no extra 30 days!

Remember to take your boarding pass off the plane with you. It's an immigration requirement to have it available for inspection but I've yet been asked to show it

If unsure use an agent. 800k in a Thai bank or 65k monthly that must be evidenced coming into the Kingdom.

Getting a Thai bank account will be your first challenge but an agent will get it sorted.

I remember getting 55 to the £
