not if under retirement visa, and your income is derived from abroad in either savings or pension.

Why 2 years.....?

@Steve ******

absolutely !

Am not a visa expert, but O doesn't require insur, whereas OA does.

I don't have insurance nor want. Med costs here are so little. I got to know a Dr when 1st arr. Don't have any issues, get yearly ekg and blood work 1200 baht. Take a b-12 and testosterone shot once a month..500 baht.

Insur costs here are a scam, get to know a clinic or hosp, you'll get Thai rates.

Good diet, excercize, Thailand, so no stress.

Income method is 65,000 baht per month from outside of Thailand ( shows FTT in bankbook ).put a bit more to cover exchange rate, but baht is weakening so exch rate is fav. Now US 36.60 / $1US will ho to 38 soon

Don't know you Paul but Pattaya and GF aren't always what you think.

Cost me a house and a lot of $ years ago...be very, very careful

Am in Chiangmai with 20 yrs of O visa under belt.

Get down to Party to see friends occassional.

Med cert is only 60 baht.

Many agents in Pattaya. But if fill income requirements it's easy.

A good agent in Pattaya on Soi 15 is Thaivisa, name Paul wife Wassana, will give you all options.

Good guy and honest

@Graham *****

I believe ( know ) the rumors of it being a difficult process is spread by Agents.
