absolutely. Kaspersky has saved my computers many times, over two decades. Why would he destroy his business base? All that bad talk about him is big BS. I once tried NORTON Antivirus - that shit was a problem by itself 😄

@John *********

Well I opened the website despite my Kaspersky warning me. Neither is there any info about the e-visa system, and further there is not one lonely hint on the requirements for the application to the Non-Imm-O Retirement visa. You must have seen a different website or you must have been dreaming 😃

You should really stop posting and leave any visa advice to the experts . . . . .click onto number 9, it shows the standing police order of requirements for the "change" to a 90-days Non-Imm-O Retirement Visa on Immigration. OF COURSE Everybody over 50 years can apply for the change. How his specific Immigration will actually interpret this police order, this is something YOU and Myself and NOBODY can predict. At least I know that Jomtien, Khon Kaen and Surat Thani have slightly different requirements on the bank deposit (needs a seasoning for the initial visa, not just for the application to the extension. He has asked for the financial requirements for the visa application, and I have shown him a way to avoid applying in his home country but apply for the Non-O visa on Immigration inside Thailand. Click on number 9 and learn something new . . . .

@Frangipani ******

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 a simple check of his profile would have told you that he is a Bulgaria citizen. You know, the World does NOT revolve around the United States of A

@Frangipani ******

of course he can enter visa-exempt and apply for the "change of visa type"to a 90-days Non-Imm-O Retirement Visa on Immigration, if he fulfills the requirements . . . . . If you do not know about this possibility, you should not post,

@John *********

could you please give me a valid link to the Royal Thai Consulate Sofia, a link that doesn't send my Virusscanner into alarm mode ? 🙂

@Frangipani ******

"Apply for a Non O in your home country. The Thai 🇹🇭 consulate or embassy in your home country will tell you what is required to APPLY for a Non O (it is not that much)." 😂 . . . . . . . . . . . your advice is useless . . . . . . the consulate of his home country doesn't show any requirement info. And the website of the embassy Bucharest, which he could use as a citizen of Bulgaria, also is useless. There is zero info on their website, which is a complete mess and hasn't been updated since November 30, 2022. So your advice gets him nowhere. So much for you telling me not to post if I don't know what I am talking about. I apparently know a lot about the threadstarter's situation. You should have checked where he is from, before you posted useless advice 😉 Please don’t post unless you try to understand what you are talking about!!!! 😎

@Frangipani ******

pray tell me WHAT part of my advice would be wrong 🙂

@John *********

the Thai consulate in his country (Bulgaria) doesn't give out any info, and the Thai embassy of Bucharest/Romania he has to use for the application to the Non-O visa, doesn't have ANY information on the requirements. Both websites are a BIG mess. The Bucharest website most recent update is from 30 November 2022, and they don't even state if they use the e-visa system or not . . . . . both institutions are completely useless!

@Jim ******

are you aware you are by now caught inside the agent's hamster wheel because they fronted the 800,000 THB and didn't use your own money in your own bank account to grease the palms of the Immigration? Or did they use your own money and still made you pay their hyped service price as if you didn't have own funds? The mind boggles.
