Can I enter Thailand on a visa exemption and start the retirement visa process?

Troy ******

Yes I just did it in August. You will have to get a one month extension 1900 baht and change visa type 2000 baht. First if you are in Hua Hin You will need a lease to do anything. Once you have a lease get a letter from immigration to open a bank account.Once you have 800 000 transfered you can apply to change visa type
