Can I obtain a retirement visa in Thailand without leaving the country after a 30-day entry?

Stuart ***********

I think it must have been because you technically overstayed and therefore had to leave before getting a new visa. They issue visas here everyday.

I managed to get a non o retirement visa in Thailand in 2022.

I have extended my stay twice here since, so I think they must have misunderstood you.

get a

day tourist visa before you come to Thailand. That gives you enough time then to open a bank account deposit 800,000 and apply for the non o retirement visa.

It's doable, but only if you pay an agent this and every subsequent year.

Why not get a

day tourist visa before you travel, then you have enough time to do it yourself.

If you decide to buy a condo later you can find a lawyer for that, otherwise you are wasting money, but that's up to you.

Can I complete my marriage paperwork at the amphur before my visa expires in February?

Stuart ***********

the wedding is done by the Amphur, similar to a registry office in your country, but the interpreter does all of the interpretation on the day.

most Amphur refuse to do it, which is why people use Bang Rak. I am usually opposed to using agents, but this is a situation that is well worth it or you will spend as much travelling back and forth to Bkk and getting interpreters, witnesses, documents translated etc.

youch! I guess that is to be expected unfortunately. It's a bit of a crazy situation and some people will try to exploit it sadly.
