Because you’ve read it wrong. He’s currently on his extension now, but thinking about what happens in 3 weeks time when it ends and he still has 6 days left in Thailand.

@Steve *******

Not at 66, he has 3 weeks left.

For a solution, Google ‘Onward Ticket’.

DoubleTree by Hilton, beautiful hotel and right on beach road.

A bit of forward planning on your ED visa could have sorted this for you. You could have opened a bank account and transferred a monthly 65k baht for 12 months while studying. Then, when it came to applying for your retirement visa, you would have had proof of funds without having to go down the 800k route. Not much use now unless you can continue on an ED visa a while longer and happy to be corrected.

@Joan ********

You should 👏👏👏

There you go again being not very nice 🤦‍♂️

@Joan ********

Instead of this reply, it would have been quicker and decent just to give the answer. It’s nice to be nice in case you didn’t know 🤦‍♂️

Heard this is fairly normal procedure.

Don’t need a TV to enter. You can enter the country for 30 days, visa exempt if you’re from a qualifying country. But I would get a 60 day TV and extend 30 more days and then get ED Visa. Maybe a trip over the border if the TV extension and ED overlap.
