You will be alright in fact there are so many people on these forums who are trying to frighten you with ill advised comments just do what you want as I’m sure you will in the end anyway.

@MJ ********
What are you a Scaremonger ? give me evidence of those crackdowns to justify your weak statement if every agency was prosecuted and every farang jailed and deported it would not only take years to complete and it would make World headline news …. Waiting 😴😴😴

Thai immigration like any Government Security forces use Biometrics so a name change makes absolutely no difference at all.

Some people must think the Thai authorities are a simple touch 🀣🀣

Get a local visa agency to guide you through the process

I understand you have the relevant documentation but it’s clear you are getting more confused as time goes along

The process wil be simpler for an agency to obtain the visa for you.

I recommend Tik who runs Tik Tik visa in Jomtien

Google got her details and she will get it done quickly without fuss πŸ‘

it usually is the same requirement is just a different cost for the application but things change quickly with Thai immigration so you could be right πŸ‘

yes definitely however, if your not sure about some of the questions just input your Passport number to bypass the irrelevant questions that worked for me on a few questions that I could not answer and if they need additional information they will email you and let you know.

I think a lot of the requirements are not for Tourist Visas but it is a standardised piece of documentation lol good luck πŸ™

Unlike the Tourist Visa I received in April from the UK Thai Embassy it requires no proof of funds and took 3 days to get it.

Very easy to apply and uncomplicated only question I would ask is β€œYou sure the application you are submitting is T/R and not Non β€œO” visa ?

Depends on your financial status to apply for a retirement visa ?

Are you aware of the amount required to apply for a retirement visa?

Sorry your post is a little vague to give you a correct answer

Good Luck πŸ™
