brilliant. Thank you!

@Brandon ***********

which country in SEA is best to apply for the Non-O for retirement purposes for a New Zealand citizen? Thanks!

@Kool ******

my understanding is that you can place an urgent request for THB 500 and collect from the office the following day.

@Tony ****

doesn’t sound too promising for anyone wanting to retire to Thailand! Has there ever been a more difficult time to navigate the immigration processes?

@Jason *********

do you think there’s a risk that someone with a DTV based on soft power activities will be denied reentry to Thailand if the soft power activities have been completed and not ongoing?

For example if someone enrolls in a 12 month Muay Thai class in year 1 of their DTV and completes the course. Then they travel overseas in year 2 and upon return immigration deny reentry because they’re not longer actively enrolled in any Muay Thai classes.

@Jason *********

thank you sir but too pricey for my liking.

@John *********

I think the answer is yes, however can I please confirm that a person can arrive in Thailand on visa exempt and then apply for a ED visa within Thailand? Thanks 😊

@Chris ****

thank you! Would you mind sharing or PM me with the agent details?

@Brandon ***********

I appreciate the clarification regarding the process. I’m still learning!

@John *********

thank you, that’s exactly what I thought and the reason for starting my wife off on an ED visa, extend for one time, then convert to Non-O dependent.
