Thank you

the application is based on a retirement visa over 50.

The other documents I mentioned I will use for the 12 month extension based on retirement over 50.

@Terry **********

Laos is the best option for you.

Thank you for all the contributors to my post, you have all been very helpful.

I clearly understand now that I must apply for the non-O immigrant visa outside of Thailand and then re-enter Thailand on the 90 day visa and open the Thai bank account, then deposit the 800,000 Thai baht, then wait for approx 2 months and apply for the extension for upto 12 months on the non-O visa.....then renew the visa every 12 months and attend immigration every 90 days for reporting.

Does this sound correct?

Cheers

Vaughn.

@Narong ******

yes, I have decided to do it myself now, the members of this page have been very helpful and informative.

@Ann *********

did you use a visa agent?

If so what agency and can you open a bank account in Thailand?

Thanks.

@Paul ********

what agency did you use in Laos, I'm going to apply for the non-O visa there.

Thanks.

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

how long does the non-O visa give me? Can it be renewed every 12 months?

Is this a retirement visa?

Thanks for your help😄

@David *********
