@Robert ********

can help with this

Actually you will need to get

-Thai Number - sim in your name

-TM30 where you are staying ( to send that off to immigration for certificate of residence )

-Thai bank account to transfer in equivalent to 75,000 baht from your home bank

- get a local driver's license ( helps not required ) -there is alot to this part-

Apply for retirement visa at immigration ( meanwhile make sure your deposits are at least 75,000 baht monthly )

@Toni ******

yes that makes sense to me

@Toni ******

they posted a video on line following a tik tok video where the woman complained about having to show 20,000 baht in visa exempt - again this was a recommended by them to use airports and not same day - but as I mentioned people have posted no issues doing same day land crossings with DTV

You can do in country extension but its like doing the application process all over again :P have to verify everything again - its alot easier to just leave and come back - if you are worried about flight issue cancel the flight leave the country on Land then buy a ticket back i wouldnt recommend say day - according to immigration they are asking people to come back by airport not land crossings

Edit *** I have also seen posts in here where people do same day land crossings and had no issue

Goto immigration to get your current stamp on new book they have records of all stamps thats what your biometricts are for when they take your picture

@Toni ******

DTV is a tourist visa still

Tdac.go.th is free all arrivals non thai passport holder or perm resident, fill out 3 days before arrival - if your passport qualifies for visa exempt you can get 60 days no fee - just make sure you have 20,000 baht on hand or your currency equivalent and may need onward ticket - return ticket

Cant tell if this is serious or someone trolling

Wise will break down all fees and rate and will deposit in currency of local account debit card is higher then bank to bank
