G’day Biff, if your going back to the states, if you can, get yourself a non-o visa 90 day, single entry visa, once back in Thailand, go see a reputable visa agent, I used Anna’s visa in Hua Hin, get yourself a retirement visa with multiple entry, process is straight forward, only took 2 days, good luck mate 👍
Come on a non-o 90 day single entry visa, it will make the process so much easier for the retirement visa, that’s what I did, I went to Anna’s visa all done in two days, check Anna’s visa on her Facebook page, you book an appointment on there.
I got a non- o 90 day visa single entry before I left Australia, got to Hua Hin, went to Anna’s visa, they do everything for, they got me my retirement visa and opened my bank account, no complaints here.
I applied for a non-o 90 day single entry from Australia, I’m retired, cost me $120 Australian, had to show proof of residence in Australia, screen shot water and electricity bills and screen shot bank statements (blacked out all band account details) once here, I applied for my retirement visa, multiple entries, I went through Anna’s Visa, she’s on face book.
I had everything done through Anna’s Visa in Hua Hin, they take you to immigration as well as take you to KBank and setup your bank account, easy process.
