Police Clearance

Four copies of Police Clearance, duly notarized, are also needed. They need to state that the applicant has no record of crime in his or her home country, and the verification must not be older than three months.

A common problem which seems to affect most Americans applying for a retirement visa in Thailand is past DUI offences. Especially when they were young. Thai immigration authorities require a satisfactory explanation on this matter, and you may need a lawyer to help you with this.

However, if you are an entrepreneur who wishes to start a business or you have a Thai spouse, this will not affect you since both don’t require police clearance in that regard. Talk to your lawyer about the various alternatives for you.

Holders of a retirement visa are allowed to stay in Thailand for a full year, and no border runs are required if you want to renew your stay. All you have to do is to avail yourself to a local immigration bureau every three months (90 day reporting) to update the authorities on your address.

Did you bring the police report that was notarized and then certified by the secretary of state in your home state? That is necessary to complete a retirement visa here in Thailand and the Philippines. If you don't have it then its pointless to apply for one now since those can only be had when you are back home.

Ten day quarantine? It is a one day quarantine in your hotel room, you can't step foot outside the room...once that door closes that keycard they give you won't reopen it. Same thing on the 5th day I'm guessing

You need to have everything booked and paid for before uploading it to the Thai Pass system. Pay for your flight, pay for your insurance, upload your vaccination QR code....you need a QR code for this, pay for your SHA hotels and upload both PDF files (you'll need two hotels). Then you'll need to register 'yourself' on the Thai pass system so you can get back in later to check your application. You'll also need a visa to visit Thailand, that I am not sure of for India.

I'm pretty sure you have to be in your home country to apply for a tourist visa online. If your overseas then you have to contact the Thai embassy in the country that you are in. I had the same idea and then my flight to Cambodia got canceled. So booked another one on a different airline...that too got canceled.

You will most likely need an antigen test done for your flight home, that will run you 900 baht. So your not really skipping out on taking a second test. Now if you use the 5th day SHA hotel's test as your departure test, say leave on day 7 or 8 then the SHA hotel is really 900 baht cheaper and gives you a few extra days on the ground.

@Tim ******

There is no more test and go....its test and test. Krabi would have to have a SHA hotel for your 5th day.
