I’ll contact the Wellington Thai Embassy for advice. Hopefully they reply!

sorry for confusing the visas, I’m new to all of this and have been researching. So I understand the 90 day single entry visa I would apply for falls into the Other category in the Thai eVisa website as opposed to the OA or OX visas which also apply to foreigners over 50 wanting to retire in Thailand.

thanks for clarifying. So I would first obtain a 90 day single entry visa via the Thai eVisa website which costs NZ$800, then open a bank account and transfer 800,000 THB within the first 30 days, then apply for the 1 year extension of stay prior to the 90 day expiry.

sorry last question! Can my wife apply for the DTV in Thailand or only from outside the country?

thanks! Just on the point of prices, the Thai Consulate in NZ states a service fee of NZ$2,000 for a Non Immigrant visa for 1 year with multiple entry. Is this steep? Am I better off entering Thailand on an exempt visa and then using an agent to apply for my O visa once I’m in the country?
