Why is my bank wire transfer from the USA to Thailand taking so long?

William ***********

It says the 20th. It won’t arrive until then. They want to make a little interest on your money. They are a business trying to make money on your money.

What should I say when asked about my purpose of visit to Thailand on a tourist e-visa while planning to apply for a non-O retirement visa?

William ***********

Never offer up information to any government official anywhere unless asked. Keep your mouth closed. Most people that get into problems is because they blab unnecessarily. If you do get asked just answer truthfully and to the point.

Do I need an onward flight when entering Thailand with a DTV visa?

William ***********

Not all airline gate agents are experts on visa requirements. They may insist on an onward ticket. Be prepared to buy a cheap onward ticket.

Is a one-way ticket acceptable for entry into Thailand with a DTV visa?

William ***********

Thai immigration may accept a one way ticket. But not all airport ticket agents are experts in Thai visa regulations. They get told that passengers need an onward ticket and they gonna enforce that.

What should I do if the bank claims my Non-O retirement visa is a tourist visa?

William ***********

Go see a visa agent. They know exactly what to do. Also they can fix you up to get a no hassle drivers license with a motorcycle endorsement. You can do what you want on your own but how many visits will you make first?

What are the rules for using an International Driving Permit (IDP) in Thailand, particularly regarding the 90-day validity?

William ***********

Go to the visa agent on Soi6 Pattaya and ask. They run a van load of clients to a local driver license office 2 or 3 times a week. The process to get Thai license is simple. I’m sure other visa agents will help out also.
