and since  the money has to be in there for two months before you can get your retirement visa you have to get on it so you don’t miss the amount of time you have available. The money I put in the two months will be done two weeks before the three months are up.

I just went through that and my agent was awesome. They handled everything for me. I did have to leave the country and go to Laos  to the city where they had a agent office. I had to stay there for five days and then I got my type 0 visa.  when I got back to Thailand  they got all the paperwork together so I can open up a bank account. Now my money is seasoning until October 22.  it’s a tight race to make sure I got the bank account open and got the money in so it gets sent two months before my three month VA expired.

 I use the Visa agent to Thailand  also had an office Luang Probang, Loas. I had to stay Five days  I got my typo visa. For me agents were worth the money.  when you come back, you only have about 15 days to get your bank account open and then you can let your money in the account for two months 

@John ********

I want to Laos. I got my visa in five days, but I had a visa agent with an office there.

Mine was for a marriage, not retirement so maybe it’s different

I just went there and got type O visa I did not need any police records or criminal history. I use a visa agent. They also had an office  there so their agent was able to get my Visa in five days and I was flying back to Thailand. I opened a bank account a week later.

I totally agree with you

@Mica ********

if you’re in Thailand already you’ll have to leave and go to another country to get the Type O visa.  I want to Loas  because my visa agent had an office there.  Then when you come back  the visa I think it’s called a residency  document. You only have 90 days to get your money in the bank season it for two months and then get your  retirement visa.  that’s how it worked for me anyway.

I highly recommend using a visa agent. It saved me a lot of headaches. They had all the paperwork ready. It was amazing. I was able to go open my bank account in a short amount of time other people that were open in bank accounts without all the paperwork that was prepared for me by the Visa agent spent a long time getting the account open.

He needs it in a bank from his country to get the type of visa but once he gets here to get the retirement visa, he needs to have it in a Thai bank. For my marriage visa I have to have it in for two months. I just started that two monthsMonday that’s per my visa agent.
