As long as you paid already, then it should be within a week. London is usually quite fast. But sometimes if they have a slowdown they prioritize processing applications based on departure date, so if you put a date far away, they would not prioritize your application and it could take longer.

What are the experiences and tips for obtaining the Non-Immigrant OX 5-Year Retirement Visa in Thailand?

Brandon ************

@Mee *********

It's not (or the equivalent amount internationally). The reason no one gets this visa is because you must have 3 million in a THAI bank account to apply, unless you're Australian and applying through the Sydney consulate.

Do I need to provide departure flight details on the TDAC for my visa application in Thailand?

Brandon ************

Departure information and visa number are not mandatory information. Don't touch any part of the departure information and you don't have to fill it out. Touch any part of it and it all becomes mandatory.

Do I need to fill out a new Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) when returning to Thailand?

Brandon ************

Will you be ARRIVING in Thailand? Then you need to fill out an ARRIVAL card through the TDAC. You're making a new arrival, so you fill out a new card.

How can I apply for an International Driver's Permit before arriving in Thailand?

Brandon ************

No, no one knows where, because you didn't say what country your license is from.

Google "international drivers permit xxxxxx" with the X's being the name of the country your driver's license is from.

Each country has different agencies that handle this.

What are the requirements for the DTV visa regarding the bank account and funds?

Brandon ************

No Thai embassy requires 800k baht. The DTV requirements are 500k baht in a bank account. A Thai bank account is not required and is infact impossible to open without a long-term visa.

Is medical insurance mandatory for all retirement visa extensions in Thailand?

Brandon ************

There's no such thing as a visa renewal.

Each year you can apply for a brand new extension of stay. You cannot renew anything.

If you applied for a 1-year non-OA visa from your Thai embassy which requires insurance as part of your application and then used that to enter Thailand, each extension afterwards will also require insurance.
