Can I use a French embassy’s income declaration for my mother’s O visa application in Thailand?

John **********

You can find that immigration offices ask you to also show them what you supplied to the embassy to get the income affidavit/certificate so you can't wing that. However if your mother can show she has an income of 65k baht per month equivalent in France that should be fine

What are the current challenges and requirements for obtaining a retirement visa in Thailand?

John **********

yes, seems to be coming normal. I had one this year in Sa Kaeo shortly after my 7th extension based on retirement. But the extension was not dependant on the visit, it had already been issued. Normally they call and ask if it's a convenient time

What are the current challenges and requirements for obtaining a retirement visa in Thailand?

John **********

It's not that complex, particularly if you have the funds in the bank and can show they came from overseas. You need 10 to 15 days left on your stamp depending on where you are. But their reticence and the fact you already have a condo makes me wonder about your history inside Thailand?

Can I apply for a DTV in Thailand as a self-employed individual conducting market research for a future office?

John **********

You won't get a DTV based on that. Either go with working remotely for your own company or get a Non-B business visa that covers this type of activity
