not straight forward when the pics on your phone have to be converted to file type & size. I hit that roadblock for India & Vietnam. Thankfully I have a literate friend able to download apps that did this. I realise this is the new reality, but very difficult for 70+ folks😨

this was my problem in doing e-visa to Vietnam. Couldn’t use screen shots from my phone to attach. 😨

@Jim *****
I’m praying that’s what’s happening. Or like you said, do 30 day visa exempt plus one extension.

@Traceys ********
if you have visa service available could you post your link? I’d hire you before driving myself to tears. 73 here and not savvy.

@Robert *******
I completely sympathise with you. It was a major struggle for me as well.

@Nigel ********
an American married to a Thai who has lived in Thailand for years told me. He and wife own a business and he is paranoid (rightfully so) to be “reported” if he is caught even just helping in the business doing something as simple as sweeping trash, clearing a table etc. . He told me he was told about the problem the volunteers had “working”, by the volunteers themselves.

I heard volunteers after the tsunami were cited for working without a permit just clearing rubble away😰

@Brandon ***********
my hesitation with getting the retirement visa before going to Thailand is the mandatory health insurance requirement. I’d rather self insure.

yes. 1968-69 years Batu Ferringhe was a paradise.
