@Jim *******

on a LTR, yes. On an EOS from a Non-Imm-O, only on a re-entry permit

@Steven ********

these kind of "onwardtickets" are risky. They are no "real" tickets, they are only reservations, and they are blocking the ETIX ticket system of the airlines, many airlines will not accept these "FAKE tickets" any longer

the airline CAN ask you for a proof of onward travel out of Thailand within the first 60 days. Many airlines will NOT accept a bus or train ticket, they will only accept a REAL flight ticket. If you want to play safe, buy a real flight ticket, one-way with Air Asia from Hat Yai to Kuala Lumpur, or Bangkok to Siem Reap, for something like 35.- US Dollar

you are wrong 😉 . . . . a Non-Imm-O retirement visa can both be applied in your home country or in Thailand on immigration. You have a choice! In Thailand it can be achieved by the "change of visa type" from a tourist visa to the initial 90-days Non-Imm-O visa . . . . . .however a Non-Imm-OA visa can only be applied in your passport country

@Todd ********

it's 20 minutes on my bank, and 25 minutes on Immigration. You just have to live in the most perfect place to use this Immigration. they actually fill out all forms for me, I only need to sign them

@David *******************

yes, sure. A Non-Imm-OA visa application needs a police clearance. A Non-Imm-O visa application doesn't need it

@Olivia *******

do you have a blue book for your condo? It makes things a bit easier if you wish to apply for a "change of visa type" from an "exempt entry" or from a 60-days tourist visa, to the initial 90-days Non-Imm-O retirement visa, on Immigration

@David *******************

you are right, and this reminds me of my own experience . . . . . when I applied for my 90-days Non-imm-O retirement visa at the honorary Thai consulate in Essen, Germany, in 2007, they saw my tattoos, (including a "prison tear") and surprise! they wanted a police clearance on top of the application, despite it not being mentioned as a requirement on their website. It's the prejudices tattooed people have to endure. I got the "tear" laser removed a few months later 😉🙂 I wear long sleeve shirts since, when I visit authorities

@David *******************

actually, not so crazy a system. On a Non-Imm-O extension, you are required to keep 800.000 THB in your Thai bank account, and this money ensures that you never will become a financial burden to Thailand, not even in the case you become sick. A Non-imm-O/A visa requires the money in your home country bank account, out of reach for Thailand - and that's why you need the mandatory health insurance

@Todd ********

I need to do only ONE 90-days report every year, and I will always do it on the same day when I apply for another 1-Year Extension of Stay Permit and the single re-entry permit. It saves me from having to do the 90 days report online 😃😄 LTR? Complete and utter bo...cks
