Can I obtain a retirement visa for Thailand while working in Australia?

Ling *****

it's all done online. You will be directed to the Thai Embassy in Canberra. I live in NSW and mine was directed to the Sydney Consulate. Got a non o in 3 days. Then when I got there I got the extension of stay. Way easier and cheaper to do it that way.

@Max ************

mine the same. Opened it 20 + years ago. I had never been asked to update anything either. However on a recent branch interaction the lady did mention to have my phone verified just as a precaution. No drama, went to dtac and got a print out with my name and passport number on it.

It avoids you having to pay a 250 baht atm fee + any extras your home bank charges you. I do cardless withdrawals and transfers within Thailand and there are zero fees.
