if u read it , I said I got the 90 days non o , retire , Which don't require the health insurance cover or the medical . Thats why I went for that one for now to start me off, once I am there , I been told buy a lawyer in thailand, to read up on the website of what type of visa I want to go forward once I am there , , which he said i can extend the retire visa if I wish to stay longer than my 90 days, he told me I got to have the medical and proof of health cover and have 800k in bank for 2 to 4 months , which depends on what bank all banks seem have different rules right now , but He said long as you follow the rules as on thai embassy rules, you will get what you want in the way of a visa required, , but he will advise me more when I am there , I am able to open bank account with the 90 day non O retirement, to get the ball rolling within the first month , then put a 400k in bank account if your married to thai going down the route of spouse visa, or 800k if you not married going down the retire route , anyway I will keep my mouth shut , and not help anyone no more , get on with it lol .

PS there are different rules for for different country's, I am in England , UK , Great Britain, I just reading what the rules state on the new E-visa applications go to it's easy to navigate have a good read up its all there . Maybe the rules are all different when your actually in thailand, like the medical and health cover maybe not required, however for me it's silly and stupid for any country to allow any Tom Dick and harry in without having health cover and medical, if a thai is coming to UK, they have to have exactly this and this is why it's not easy to get into UK any more unless you come buy boat of course lol , Maybe Thailand are tightning up there rules and regs for visa and can you blame them , westerner are going there acting like twats and getting drunk sponge-ing of there state mostly just costing thai govemrents money. So no wonder costs for visas are rising and introducing things like medicals is are a necessity now ,cos it's helping pay for the embarrassing western culture that's ruining there country. Unless of course someone pays a back hander to get a medical false, yes we all know that this probably goes on over there , But really is it right ?? And this is why there system has become much stricter , no correct visa, no thai bank account and now people are crying , well maybe they should follow the correct rules then to make it right . I will just do what the embassy tells me to do, yes if it cost money then so be it , at least I have done it correct way, and it's helping there thai economy , I rather give my money to them , than give it to UK government .

@Kim ********

on uk thai embassy site, it's states if you want retirement visa over the 90 days , you got to have medical and health insurance, this why I only got the Non O 90 days retirement, cos then I donnt have to show those things which is just more cost. Says it all on this embassy visa applications, all Info there .

@Kim *******

can use it but as long as 800k baht is in there 2 or 3 months before re-applying for next visa, I think?

@Paul ******

go to thai embassy website in UK before you leave , and apply for 90 days retirement visa Non O and if over 50 only, when you arrive in thailand you got one month to sort a thai bank account and then leave 400k or 800k baht in there for 2 months, you then apply for extension of retirement visa, giving you longer stay, you also need health insurance and various medicals some testing for STD;s good luck

Just to let you know , that when I paid for my visa through UK thai embassy the money I paid for visa the transfer went to kasikorn bank , so that tells me one thing , if there own thai goverment is using kasikorn bank it must be good .

thankyou

@John ********

you would think long as the money in the Thai bank , it dont matter where it came from . My granny could have given me cash from under her bed :-)

Been told I can bring 9k pounds, via aeroplane, so if I do that twice that's the 800k bht required, so is this possible and will they accept pounds in cash at thai bank.
