I am aware of the airlines asking - yet it doesn't make any sense. One can still fill out the TDAC after arrival at the Thai airport. There are electronic terminals for people who have forgotten the TDAC, or for those without technical knowledge, and there are bunches of Thai helpers to guide you through the process

@Dave ******

you don't need a printout. The QR Code on your phone is enough

@Ashley *********

the airlines have absolutely no right to refuse boarding if you haven't filled out the TDAC yet. The TDAC is NOT a visa! Because you can still do it after arrival at the BKK airport on terminals in front of the Immigration

for the application to the 90-days Non-Imm-O Retirement Visa in the U.K., your bank account can be anywhere, as long as you prove it is in your sole name. And you also could use a monthly income of a minimum of 65,000THB equivalent as financial proof for the application to the initial visa. . . . Once in Thailand, for the application to the "1-year Extension of Stay Permit Based on Retirement", you need a Thai bank account and the minimum of 800,000 THB must have seasoned in it for 2 months on the day of the application. . . . So, right after you enter Thailand you need to get your ducks in a row, you will get stamped in for a 90-days stay permit, and you need to open a Thai bank account ASAP and transfer the required funds onto it in order to streamline the window of time that you got

a "one entry exit" ??? Do you mean you will re-enter using a "single re-entry permit" ? If you didn't buy a re-entry permit before you left, your "retirement visa" (which is not a visa but most obviously a 1-year Extension of the Stay Permit Based on Retirement) has become invalid

@Robert *******

I always do it after I leave the bank with the letter, my Immigration (Sisaket) doesn't care. But of course you are right, better withdraw before updating the bankbook at the counter

@Scott *****

visit your Immigration and ask for their handout list of requirements for the application to the "1-year extension of the temporary stay permit based on retirement". Each office has this list. And each Immigration officer will be following this list. Regarding the financial proof: on the morning of the day you want to apply, visit the bank and ask them for the "bank letter of guarantee" (in Thai: Rab Roong Thanakan) which will confirm that a minimum of 800,000 THB has been seasoned for 2 months. Update the bankbook. When leaving the bank with this letter, withdraw asmall amount at their ATM and keep the receipt. Then visit Immigration

@Philippe ********

you definitely can go this route. You will need to stay in the country where you apply, until the visa is issued. In Laos, you will apply by the e-visa online systemm, however you will need to pay the visa fee in cash, by visiting the Vientiane Embassy

@Jon *******

you spread doubt over my advice, so here my knowledge got confirmed by a third party. I am member of visa advice groups since 25 years and I even got my own FB Thai visa advice group. I said Mot's is 32,000 THB up and you said, no way. So now you just keep scrolling on and don't ever doubt advice coming from an expert, again. Flight control, Greg Alexander, copied & over😉
