That is if you report to IB, if you get picked up with an expired visa the penalties are much more severe

How do I obtain a TM30 form for my retirement visa renewal if it's been over 7 days since submission?

Brian ********

Just ask him to submit a new one with the same details as before and get him to print it off after he's done it

It costs him nothing but time

Is the new Thai international driving license valid for 3 years and accepted in 84 countries now available?

Brian ********

It's not so much the police, it's the insurance. If you have an accident and only have a licence from your home country (no IDP) , there's a good chance they won't cover the claim

It's the same with the 3 month rule.

What are the best options for managing my UK and Thai phone numbers while retiring in Thailand?

I have a First Direct bank account in UK without having a UK phone number, the only phone number I have is my Thai one. The bank has no problem with this and have called me on it on numerous occasions.

Why is my same-sex marriage extension not accepted by Thai immigration?

Brian ********

Not especially, he put a lot of effort into doing retirement visas, just wouldn't touch marriage.

I have been on both extensions and a marriage visa needs a LOT more paperwork and time.

I get mine at immigration, because I don't trust agents

Why is my same-sex marriage extension not accepted by Thai immigration?

Brian ********

I was friends with a visa agent for many years and he would never touch a marriage visa because it was too much work. He would always tell his clients retirement visa or nothing.

My advice would be go to immigration with your partner and talk to them direct

A guy I know had his pension stopped twice because he changed address and didn't notify DWP. It was a pita to sort out, his son had to call UK for him in the end

It has to be posted, they included an addressed envelope, but you have to pay the postage.

I sent mine registered so that I could track it and had proof of delivery if anything went wrong at their end
