@Michael ********

@Chris *****

wrong !

U can apply inside Thailand like I did !

Don’t post if you don’t know , it only confuses

Why don’t you google

….retirement visa requirements if applying in Thailand …..

you’ll get plenty of information there

Or

Look up Thai immigration

Retirement visa requirements if

Simple stuff to do

I don’t know who VCT are or care

But I do know 2 expats that paid

35k bhat in June this year for retirement visas

I won’t name the agent but will share that they are in Pattaya and still offer this service today

People here won’t like my advice but there are many good agents who can get you a retirement visa easily

Cost is about 30 to 35 k in bhat

They can open a bank account for you

Get you re entry stamp if you want to go out of Thailand for a while

Hundreds or even thousands of expats use this method and have done for a long time

Some will comment it’s illegal what these agents do….

But prostitution is also illegal in Thailand…..duh !

@Bill ********

no I’m not Thai but

I married a Thai

Helped pay for a house to be built for the Thai family

I can speak enough Thai to get by

I’ve studied Buddhist and Thai history and culture

I’ve lived in Thailand after going there for 3 decades

I understand Thais a lot more than you ever will you ignorant

Muppet !!

I told the author of this post how he can get a retirement visa

Maybe he cares ?

@Charlie *******

bullshit

Many fly in get 60 days go to agent and get visa

You don’t need any visa before travel to get an agent to get

Retirement visa

There are thousands of people from many countries that don’t have the cash for retirement visa or don’t want to put a large amount of money in Thai banks

So they go to Visa Agents who will do your retirement visa for about 30 to bhat . You’ll get 3 months and then 12 months giving you 15 months to see if Thailand is right for you

These agents look after everything needed to obtain a visa for you

I met many foreigners who used these agents and it’s a proper real visa
