There are numerous "retirement visas": Non-O (800k), Non-OA (800k), Non-OX (3M), LTR($$$).

, for the initial you can do it in your home country on a tax report showing this income.

, as I understand it you are getting a special entry stamp on a visa waiver, so you will probably need to get this changed for getting an extension...

@Stuart ********

, it is actually stated on the document, that "Passport holders of Vietnam and Hong Kong are entitled for tourist visa exemption scheme". It seems a little strange. I know you are correct, but a bit strange that I cannot find any information on this new category of "visa on arrival" (VOA is the name of the document)...

@Stuart ********

, the list is dated April 2023, so it should be pretty much up to date. Ok, so countries on a bilateral agreement are using a different system. As you will notice, some countries incl. HK is listed in both lists 🙁 Anyway, those countries get a waiver instead of an entry stamp or both? And cannot extend their stay on the usual 30 days tourist extension? Is this correctly understood?

@Stuart ********

, interesting about visa waivers. Do you have a link to somewhere can read about the differences from visa exemptions as HK is listed as a country entitled to visa exemption even the list is also talking about bilateral agreement: %E0%B9%80%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A3/VOA.pdf

, the steps in Thailand might depend on which Amphur is being used for the final registration in Thailand. Local Amphurs are usually not good in English and want it translated while some Amphurs in Bangkok will accept it in English. The Australian Embassy will know which Amphur to use.'

@Colin *********

, I am pretty sure that the Australian Embassy can give more detailed advice on this.

@Colin *********

, yes, except that MFA Thailand does not do the translation, but you can have it done by agencies present at the MFA Thailand Building. If the translation is done in Thailand, then no translation will be needed in Australia as it is in English already. You probably dont need a translation into Thai anyway.

@Colin *********

, it is the same in Denmark. You are lucky if you get a new passport in 14 days by asking and paying for express service...
