What should I do if my retirement visa application is delayed due to a past arrest that was dropped?

Stephen *******

Why would an arrest show up with no conviction. Go back to who supplied the criminal record and get them to remove it.

How many times can an Australian passport holder enter Thailand visa-free in a year?

Stephen *******

I think it's more about continuity of staying in Thailand than the number of actual entries. If you are genuinely in and out with significant time out, then no limit. If you border bounce with no obvious means of financial support, they are going to think you are working in Thailand.

What should I know about re-entry permits after receiving a one year extension based on retirement in Thailand?

Stephen *******

The only problem is they each take up half a page in your passport. This may be a consideration if you have limited pages left.

What should I know about my NON-O-A visa and re-entry permits when arriving in Thailand?

Stephen *******

Hua Hin is a very good immigration office. You will need to report when you have a lease from your landlord. You do not need to report if you are away or leave the country. I used to go back to report in when I returned from Oz but they always ask "Are you still in the same place?" I say yes and they tell there is nothing to do.

What are the best options for extending my Non Immigrant OA Visa while living in Thailand?

Stephen *******

I'm an Aussie that had an O-A too. Just do the border bounce. You'll get a free year with no hassles. Don't forget you need a re-entry permit if you leave during the second year.
