Why does Thai Immigration require all previous visa stamps to be transferred to a new passport?

Craig ********

perhaps this is a Chiang Mai thing? I recently had a full passport with many past stamps and extensions in thailand and they only moved my original non-o and my last extension stamp, nothing else.

it's going to be interesting to see what immigration does with these DTV visas once they start coming up for renewal. It may be the case that you have to visit a foreign embassy on every 180 day bounce.

What is the process for obtaining education visas and Non-Immigrant O visas in Samui, and who can assist with this?

Craig ********

Thai language schools and Muay Thai gyms that provide classes for people on education visas typically handle the paperwork for you. Find a school, ask them, and they will sort you out. Most can get you from a tourist visa to a non-o, no problem

What are the options for obtaining a cheap Retirement Visa in Pattaya?

Craig ********

if you need it "cheap" perhaps Thailand isn't the best country for you long term? Laos is significantly cheaper, as are Vietnam and Cambodia.

What are the options for obtaining a cheap Retirement Visa in Pattaya?

Craig ********

1900 baht at any immigration office in Thailand... pretty cheap, but you have to do it yourself and have the correct documentation including the 800k THB in a bank account sourced from outside Thailand. Or you can pay an agent to handle that and everything else for you, but it's a lot less cheap.
