Been going to Thailand for 15 years ,love the place,never ever been questioned at immigration and usually visit times a year if can get cheap flights,never ever being stopped ,all my visits visa exempt and sometimes extended so I cannot believe it’s a problem and I have not seen anyone else been stopped or questioned,very strange all these negative comments

If so cut it to 30 days,if not people will come for 60+30 not illegal,unless they put it in black and white it will always be used to its fullest stay until a IO says no

@Nongnuch *******

thanks for that explained very well, I have an Irish passport and I’m planning on retiring in the New Year and the Irish embassy still certifies pension incomes so I am now led to believe that all I will have to do is provide this affidavit from my embassy to immigration authorities showing a years bank statement with pension income above 65 k per month and with my with my non o 90 day then I will get my one year extension ?

@Benjamin ********

yes I can understand that, but why don’t they just put a hard and fast rule in so everybody knows where they stand?

@Dana *****

yeh agree,burriram is a good place to try retirement,rent 6 months first

Coup possibilities on the horizon,never far away,things could change overnight

@John *******

lady at korat immigration told me earlier this year (March )that it’s 800k OR 65 k + pm certified pension income

No need for 800 k

I have the handout which says exactly this

@Pete ******

unless your income is embassy certified?

@Brook *******

visa exempt from uk,Eva air booked return flight 80 days later,they would not let me board until I purchased a flight out of Thailand within the 60 day of visa exempt validity,I told them I was going to extend to 90 days but still same answer,you must have a return or another booked flight out of Thailand before 60 days,my experience

@John *****

I am led to believe if your embassy certified and verifies your pension income you do not need 800,000 in any case, is this true? it’s also what I’ve read on the handout from korat immigration , I went there earlier this year because I am planning on retiring to Thailand this Christmas and I hold an Irish passport which the appropriate embassy still certifies pension income.
