Can I convert a tourist visa to an educational visa and later to a retirement visa in Thailand?

Robert *****

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.

How can I manage my US passport and driver's license while living permanently in Thailand without a US address?

Robert *****

I use my daughters address in the States for everything including drivers license, banking address, Medicare. In fact if you’re away more that 6 months you could lose your Medicare part D. Of course never tell the government anything.

What is the process for obtaining a non-immigrant visa stamp in Thailand after applying?

Robert *****

To me, tomorrow means it’s a service that the real immigration allows. They charge more and can’t do it immediately like the real immigration so you have to wait until the next day.
