ok,I'm returning to Thailand to stay in October ,I will get the retirement visa and stick the 800k in a bank ,is the best way to get the Non OA visa first to enable opening a bank account in Thailand for the deposit and progression to retirement visa ?

@Stuart ********

do you need to get the criminal record check still ?

Ranong is where Lime tours take you and you won't do it cheaper alone ,plus I think immigration there approves it with line,so it's the only sure way as well 🙏🏽it was a very well organised day trip

Contact Lime Tours,very well run day trip to Myanmar 🙏🏽

I didn't read it that way,knowing that many africans do abuse immigration ,it's a standard observation by him,that's why most African countries need visa and don't get visa exempt ,nothing racist ,so pointless making the point,it's fact and that's all he was making 🙏🏽

Thailand is now very popular ,so many people are coming here to stay and live ,so they can now pick and choose and not rely on people without visas for longer stay tourism.

they are brilliant ,I've lived in Cambodia for 14 yrs and SEA for 20 yrs and they have been brilliant with any inquiry ,I was stuck in Thailand during COVID and the Irish embassy were brilliant with help,they always reply to emails very quickly 🍻

Border run is cheaper than flights and hotel anyway and guaranteed 🙏🏽

I'm just about to do the same with my Irish passport,application on line but when passport still has a few years left on it ,it has to be returned,but I go to Irish consulate for them to see the passport and can retain it active in Thailand while new application goes ahead,then I pick up new one after approximately 4 weeks and in receipt of it from consulate the old one is redundant and new one active ,but I keep together as entrance stamps in old one ,I would imagine the US embassy has similar policy but email your embassy for confirmation 🙏🏽

If the 60 days visa waiver is still going you will get 60 days free on arrival ,then apply for a 1900bht 30 day extension,that gives you 90 days in country ,if you did want more you can exit after 90 days to near by country for a bit and come again ,doing the same . 🍻
