I submitted the monthly income per month document while still in the states before being v issued the 90 day O-Visa. The original application asked for proof not where it was located or what denomination. They never asked anything else just issued a visa.

I applied for a retirement visa and got a Non-O 90 day but it doesn’t say retirement on it.

I almost 60 days into my 90 day stay. Over the last week I’ve been rejected for a bank account at 6 offices of 4 different banks in Thammarat and Pak Phanang.

Someone offered agent services for 5,000 baht but I thought I could do this myself.

I’m glad no one was interested in this post. I’m loving the info and banter.

Someone noted even the Thais hate these.

Funny I was out to lunch today with some Thais and one of the guys left lunch to go home to the toilet since this eating establishment only had squat pots.

@Bert *******

I thought was one of the new Thai Government requirements to getting a VISA. You have to have documentation you can squat.

The metal one was in the train from Bangkok to Nakhon Si Thammarat. Fairly dirty.

Wow, you stand facing the wall? I did not know that.

Yes, the different decisions on a regular basis is frustrating. Be ready with action when trying to make transactions. Human being are involved. Just resolve yourself to knowing it may take two trips or extra steps.

Remember it’s your life, you might as work hard for it. No one else is!

60 days is a good amount of time to work on the next step.

My point about the visits. I just got a Thai Drivers License. I rode an hour on the bus to get to the driving school with the thought I starting that morning only to find out I can’t start. Long story short. It was worth the extra trip I got the entire layout about what to do, what I have to do, even some advice about how to do it and a free ride back to the bus terminal. It took maybe 2- hours just to get the plan laid out and get all my questions answered and take notes but a week laters I’ve got my drivers license.

Appears to me there are no quick answers to anything in Thailand.

You really need to sit down with someone officially or apply officially, that’s when the rubber meets the road.

Might even be good to take an interpreter with you.

Everyone’s situation is different. I’m working on a motorbike license right now and was told by the driving school to take my girlfriend for my residency certificate , since she is my TM30 contact.

The school told me it will probably go much smoother and will able to address any issues while sitting right there or know exactly what to do next.

I’m in the Nakhon Si Thammarat area.
