This is VFS. It's a rip off

You're using the wrong website. This is VFS. Just make an appointment through the immigration website and take your documents with you

Should be renamed TSV

Thailand Super Visa!

It's the best ever.

Everyone can get one

@Tommy *******

I don't know. If someone stays five years they're going to be spending money somehow. I know people who have got the five years just on dental treatment. The visa doesn't have the reason mentioned. Just the finish date, which is five years. All you have to do is keep bouncing and stay away from immigration! The sources I have are people who are doing it, not talking about it!

@Simon *******

Most immigration offices in Thailand issue non-O (50+) visas, no need to go to Laos

@David ****

I'm talking about the interest I'm missing out by not having my money invested in Australian Super. The 800k must stay in the Thai bank account paying 1% interest until the day you die. The 65k transfer you can spend as soon as you get it

@David ****

Australian Super Funds. Some are paying even more than that

@Stuart **********

You only need to exit if changing from OA to O visa. If you're already on O and simply want to switch from 800k to 65k/month there is no need to exit

@David ****

Yeah but a really dumb investment decision. I can get 9% tax free on that, and I'm not kissing goodbye to baht per year for the rest of my life. I mean you have to bring money in to live on anyway! It's a no brainer

Start off with OA visa, which will do you for two years without having to transfer 800k into Thai bank account. During the two years start transferring 65k into Thai bank account every month (you can access and spend this immediately it registers in your account). By the time the two years is up, you will have sufficient monthly transfers to qualify for the O retirement visa. You will need to exit the country, come back in on visa exempt, and apply for the 90-day O visa. With thirty days remaining on this visa apply for the 12-month extension. Whatever you do, do NOT miss even one monthly transfer from overseas. Keep this regime going indefinitely, and extended every year
