What are the requirements for renewing a Retirement Visa in Thailand without using an agent?

George *********

Are there some people on this forum trying to entice people to use agents? Why not do it yourself? I know that interest rates are low in Thailand. But I still pay my 1900 baht a year at immigration.

I prefer to do the right thing. Not circumnavigate the Thai immigration rules.

@Wayne *********

I agree with you. It's better to hear first hand of any successful/unsuccessful applications. They can point you in the right direction.

Bennito's comment was exceedingly unhelpful.

Rent for 6 months or the minimum allowed usually 1 year. See the location you prefer, then consider buying.

Depends on your age if you should consider buying. Over 65 maybe rent
