if this is complicated maybe people shouldn’t travel

It takes 2 minutes to complete just like when it was paper based

Don’t wait until you get to Thailand on a tourist Visa that doesn’t work.

you will need to get a non-O Visa from where you live then enter Thailand open a bank account deposit fundsinto the Thai bank account

Then go to immigration and apply for a extension based on retirement

No need for a Visa Agent. My parents just did this at the grand old age of 86 and they are technologically illiterate Thai

Ensure you meet the requirements as outlined on the official Thai website

Yes the 500K THB or equivalent needs to be in a personal current account not in a business account

And no need for an agent

@Bob *********

yup you’ve got me I can spell 🤣🤣

@Ian ********

that’s not exactly right. The devil is in the details

This is only an option for the 2nd and ongoing extensions

@Bob *********

Wrong on all counts

It’s cake and it if it was dessert it would be spelt with two S’s

@Bob *********

it’s not about paying tax you 🍆

And it’s not scaremongering For some people it’s a valid requirement to lodge a return - not to pay tax - (there is a difference you imbecile) as lots of us have a tax treaty

Remind me not to bother with you again

It’s against the rules to go back to Thailand before your DTV is approved. Best option is to get an extension or a Visa for Laos so you can stay there while you wait for approval or go to another country to do your application

@Bob *********

you will when they freeze your account. That may well impact you.

And yes, you can get a TIN.



Do you just say stuff for the hell of it?🤣🤣

It should be fine Every place is different Some only need the 500 k on the day before application
