so to go to Vietnam you needed a Vietnamese tourist visa there, a hotel reservation, a flight entering and leaving Vietnam. How long before your retirement visa expired? My agent said if my retirement visa expires the fees to renew it increases. Did you have to provide a lease in Thailand? Proof of self employment?

So you went to the Thai embassy in Hanoi and as far as evidence of being outside, a hotel reservation?

I probably should try to get this done myself. I do not speak Thai but they do have some workers who would help me. There are strong ties between some of the agents and the immigration officers. A good old boy network.

it’s more fear and laziness on my part. Last time my lease ownership description differed from the actual government description and because I had an agent, the officer passed my renewal. Without the agent I would have been declined. The condo owner was in the hospital and was not available to send an amended lease document.

Goldie doesn’t this visa require investments in Thailand and health insurance? I am old and had issues with getting healthcare that I trust. I think there are also minimum annual income requirements which I am retired and live off of social security.

I do not have an employment contract and am not self employed. No issues with banking requirements and no history of any government or police related issues

Thanks Bob. I have unfortunately been paying much more than that yearly for my retirement visa. Do you have a DTV visa? I’ve had people tell me I need to leave Thailand to get this visa.

Thanks I have heard of them. They also do the retirement visa as well. Have you used them or know someone who has?

hi Stuart I currently have my retirement visa which expires in December. I am tired of paying an immigration agent every year who seems to do so little since I meet all of the requirements. I know people who don’t have the minimum baht in the bank or for some reason need to pay off immigration to look the other way.

went to DTV fb page and posted a comment. Want a reputable company I can trust that will handle this process for me. Someone who can provide documented positive reviews of satisfied customers.
