What are the current policies for changing Emirates flight tickets, and what have others experienced?

Nick *******

It’s how they ‘word’ it. They don’t charge a fee for the activity of changing the ticket information BUT they charge for any difference in fare between the 2 dates.

How can I prove a 12-month deposit of 65,000 Thai Baht in a Thai bank if I just arrived?

Nick *******

Yes because the 65k are minimum funds that immigration deem are needed to demonstrate you can sustain a lifestyle while retired in Thailand.

Do not miss a months transfer or you’ll be back to square one and have to start the 12 month process again.

Yes, you can study Thai as a second language or Muay Thai if you’re into fitness on an Ed Visa. Do not think you can enrol and not turn up, you MUST attend the classes scheduled or immigration will revoke the visa.

A work around would be to get a Non O (3 months) and open a bank account and then apply for an Ed-Visa (12 months). This will give you 15 months to transfer 65k baht pm into your account. Once your Ed visa expires, you can apply for a visa based on retirement and use that 15 months proof of funds, for your application.
