What are the best visa options for retirees married to a Thai national who want to live in Thailand?

Martyn ***********

I'm assuming your over 50...? retirement visa is far less hassle than spouse visa. Though does tie up 800k in the bank.

Do I need to have 800,000 Baht in the bank for two months before extending my NON-O retirement visa?

Martyn ***********

Why is not clear to you? You even say it yourself, 2 months before.. So what do you think will happen?? You won't be getting the extension... If you can't put the money in the bank in time? use an agent..

Will I face repercussions for dropping my retirement visa bank balance below 400,000 baht?

Martyn ***********

no 1 month extension is available for retirement visa.. you'll be at the mercy of the officer and possibly they will need 'incentives' to smooth the process because of the situation..

Getting around the rules is exactly what he could need and what agents can do..

What are the visa options for moving to Thailand with a Thai spouse, and how can I get assistance with the process?

Martyn ***********

Retirement visa will be far less hassle than spouse visa.. Conveying your licence to a Thai one is easy to do yourself, highly recommend doing this in Rayong.. It is appointment only now apparently.

Has anyone successfully used the Online Visa Extension system in Thailand?

Martyn ***********

You expiry will be midnight tomorrow.. Your paperwork is in order, get there early tomorrow...They could look for a problem that may be solved by 'incentives' knowing you've left it to the last day? But you should be fine...
