Very useful post - thank you

Anonymous participant you need to be clearer re drama. The post was about both 90d and TM30.

You are correct about going in and out of the country before getting to 90d. That avoids the 90d drama. But every time you go away and come back you have to do another TM30, which can be another drama as per the post. 😉

My gf got hers there a couple of months ago. She had to wait for just over a week - sat in ‘pending approval’ for 2-3 days.

your retirement visa qualifies as a long term visa. The other thing you should check is that the sim of the phone number you provided to them is held in your own name. Then you should be OK

but that would only mean no longer offering new ones. They would not cancel existing ones.

Look at the Thai visa pages, decide which visa suits your circumstances best, go through the requirements and make sure you can provide what is required, and then apply.

that’s interesting, as it wasn’t on them a few months ago - at least not on the ones I saw, which had been issued in Phnom Penh and Vientiene.

Sounds like the IO was assuming you were on a Soft Power DTV, and wondering how you can leave if you have registered for a course.

There is nothing on the passport or visa to distinguish between a Soft Powers one and a Workation option.
