Facial Recognition is active in Thailand. In line at the Airport they already know your name, etc. this information is shared on a worldwide computer network.

Trev. Be sure and do your visa and other business ONLINE FROM THE UK . YOU CAN DO IT BUT BEING OVER 50 is good. Anyday now you’ll get automatic visa exempt of 60 days. But have everything in place before you fly in.

We were in a Covid lock down hospital during Covid for a MANDATORY 10 Days. We actually couldn’t leave. We missed our departure flight, by 6 days. We had a note from the hospital and at the Airport we still had to pay a 500 baht per day fine. 6,000 baht. Expect that, have cash. You exit visa will be red ink. Which means overstay.

good luck. The first approval is difficult so make sure she returns as planned. Then the subsequent trips are much easier.

900,000 isn’t bad for 5 years. But wouldn’t he have to tie up 800,000 baht for the retirement visa, as well. ?

My friend. I understand that some Countries have strict social rules regarding men and women. But you’ll be fine. Nobody cares. Please have a great time..👍

you’ll want a paper trail that the 800,000 gets wired from the UK and it should be in your Thai bank 2 months before you apply. Leave the money alone. Open a second bank account for your pension and ATM spending etc. I find that makes it easier. Good luck Sir…🙏

40,000 baht is plenty to live on. I know guys that live on 25,000 baht.
