Go online , it's a ' long stay ' visa 0-A non immigrant, your looking for .. fairly easy to follow .

But the first requirement is you have to be over 50 to start with.

Anyway up to you Tom , I guess your trying to do this here in Thailand , so easy from the UK , but good luck anyway 👍🏻

If your applying in the uk , there is NO uk Embassy ,

No , you just need a copy of your bank statements ( 3 or 6 months ) when you apply ( at THAI embassy ) .

Tom , what's it got to do with the British Embassy ?

Thanks I'll take a look, although I'm quite happy with what I've got .. you never know .

1 million bht ( which you pay out ) not get back .. 20 years ? ..

really ? .....plus ALL what benefits ? ... serious question Robert .

Tom , I have a pension visa 3rd year now , as I say 800k , 3 months prior from the 1st extension, ( first full year which could last up to nearly two years if you time it right ) .. get a multi entry as I do every time you renew you go away as many times as you like every week if you want , ( plus the 90 day report starts again every time you leave / return )

you don't have to have 800,000 tied up all year , just 3 months prior to extending plus get a multi as I have for example and you can still come and go as you please

Plus somebody can do your report for you too 👍🏻
