The OX retirement visa is the best - you get stamped in for 5 years and have many more advantages over a DTV holder, who is simply a long stay tourist who receives almost no advantages over a visa exempt visitor.

It sucks but it is what it is. As long as they don't mandate vaccines all is good.

@Paul ********

Absolute nonsense. You can fill out that form after arrival or borrow a pen. Geez..

This is the museum where back in late 2023, they were charging foreigners less than Thais if you booked via Klook. No need to show anything to the officials on duty at the time, other than your Klook booking.

@Felipe ********

Err....no, your reading comprehension needs work. I am telling you that it doesn't matter how many times you've entered Thailand, questioning is always possible.

In fact, it's MORE likely if you have a history of travel to Thailand.

@Thomas *******

I didn't say not to extend your visa (good you were able to) I'm saying that you will be forced to do a border run eventually and that will be in 6 months time.

Good luck to you...just that if you're tired of traveling, then the DTV is not a good option. You'll be better off starting a business or finding a job locally, which means you won't have to leave the country.

I went through the form on a dummy run, assuming a land based entry by car. I entered a car license plate for entry and while I also entered the same one for exit there is no need to enter outbound travel details.

@Barry *****

You don't need to input outbound travel derails.

@Bryan *******

The version that goes live will have Thailand as a residence option.

@Thomas *******

I travel with my kids all the time but I don't complain about it. I enjoy it.
