Will I be denied entry to Thailand with just a one-way ticket for my retirement visa process?

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

I went through this process a few months ago and to save any worrying followed the advice and bought the cheapest flight online to a neighbouring country, it cost me about £20.

Can I apply for a Thai tourist visa without proof of accommodation, and what are the options for extensions?

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

As James stated the 45 day + 30 day extension seems like the simplest and best solution for you. From personal experience the 30 day extension is very easy to obtain.

Good luck and enjoy!

Can my friend switch from a retirement visa to a 45-day visa exempt status by doing a border hop without canceling his retirement visa?

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

Wes am I missing something obvious here, why does your friend want to do this as the retirement visa seems better?

Apologies if this is an obvious point, but the funds need to show that they came from abroad also.

Does Thai immigration question your intention to extend your 45-day visa on arrival?

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

You can always book a cheap flight from Thailand to somewhere like Vietnam within 30 days to save you worrying. That's what I did and it cost about £20. I never used the flight.

Can I apply for an A/O non-immigrant retirement visa in Thailand after entering on a 45-day stamp?

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

I think a big difference is that if you apply in Thailand, you do not need to purchase medical insurance Joseph.

Will I be notified if my Non-O visa application is refused before my current tourist visa expires?

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

As James stated, this is normal practice, so nothing to worry about, unless they found something really irregular about your application the next step is a formality. Congratulations!

What are the best visa options for visiting Thailand for 90 days?

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

Hi Trevor, the non OA visa is if you apply from the UK, the non O is if you apply within Thailand for reasons like retirement. If you apply for a tourist visa in the UK this gives you an initial 60 days and you can extend for 30 days easily.
