With all the recent changes, getting your retirement visa sorted now is a smart move. Since you already meet the income requirement, the process can be very straightforward.

Your travel earlier this year won’t cause any issues if you arrive with the right visa. The easiest and most affordable path is to apply for your Non O in your home country before you fly. When you enter Thailand with a Non O, opening a bank account is simple and your past entries won’t matter. With that in place, our fee for the yearly extension is 15,000 THB and it’s usually completed in 1 to 3 days.

If you land without a visa and only have an exempt entry, and you still need a bank account, then agent services cost more. You would need to come to Bangkok for one day. We assist with opening your bank account on exempt entry, securing your Non O the same day, return your passport so you can fly back to your province, and then you can post your passport back to us for the 1 year extension. That part only takes a few days. This full package includes everything starting from exempt entry and results in a 15 month retirement visa plus a bank account (without needing to leave the country). Total cost is 60,000 THB.

If you prefer to continue entering on exempt entries despite having multiple past entries, we also offer a FastTrack and Safe Entry service. It’s usually 2,000 to 5,000 THB and helps ensure a smooth entry. You just need to contact us at least one day before arrival so we can check your history and arrange everything.

Current outage is related to Cloudflare which is preventing the official TDAC from allowing you to select the form.

Maybe try to stay out 15+ days each time and it should not be a issue, as he is returning to his home country.

It shouldn’t be a problem.

Traveling from your home country is usually fine, especially with more than 30 days between each trip.

We offer FastTrack + Prescreening which would make your 2nd entry easier, and you can fully extend your first 60 day without worry.

This can be requested with your TDAC any amount of days before your trip through:

This is mostly related to exempt entry, we do not expect any issues for APEC card holders.

As mentioned, the memorandum was sent to every immigration office and border checkpoint, and it appears to be a follow-up to a new directive that clarifies the points in the original order..

We've already seen this reflected in the dozens of new reports coming in each day. This was just one of the additional protocols, there are more listed in the memorandum.

Here is the official announcement:



How strictly this will be applied depends on each checkpoint, but even before this update the trend was already heading this way. Now it appears even stricter.

We’re already hearing reports from some borders that even a single bounce is being refused.

@Stephen *******

How long are your trips every 6 weeks, and is the UK your passport country?

If the UK is your passport country, and you keep flying from your passport country with that pattern this should not impact you at all.

If your trips aren’t back to back, it usually doesn’t cause any issues (1 or more months between each short trip).

The concerns mainly apply to people using consecutive entries to live in Thailand.
