If this is your 2nd bounce via a land border (1st was to get your entry 2nd 45 day say they will ask a lot of questions if your trying a 3rd. Correct me if i am wrong but I thought it was 30day entry via land 45 by air

Don't forget you need a thai bank account with

0 baht for 3 months(

0 in your account constantly) before you apply for retirement visa. You need to do some research on options. Not sure on a monthly income (pension etc) for other visas

Is it possible to enter Thailand with a one-way flight ticket?

As with the last few answers, you won't be allowed to board your flight to Thailand with nearly all airways without a return or an onward ticket.

What are the transfer fees and best methods for sending money to Thailand from the UK?

Sean *********

If you use wise etc you can only transfer more than 50,000 baht to Kasikorn and Bangkok Bank. Any other bank will send it back. Bank to bank for other banks, be careful

Can I open a Thai bank account while staying in a hotel with a US passport?

Sean *********

@Rick *******

they do all the work, filling in forms etc. You just sign, deposit a few thousand baht to open the account and around 500 baht for your debt card at the bank and your done. Just make sure the bank you join allows more than 50,000 baht per international transfer. Bangkok Bank, Kbank are the only ones that do l think.

Can I open a Thai bank account while staying in a hotel with a US passport?

Sean *********

I would say go the agent route, will save a lot of time and stress. You could end up spending a few days going from bank to bank and still have no joy. Mind you could get sorted a the 1st attempt. If that happens I would do the lottery 😁😁. Good luck

Do Irish passport holders need a visa or Thai Pass for tourist travel to Thailand?

Sean *********

Stamp on entry free for 45 days, if you need to extend this you can get a 30 day extension at an immigration office 1900 baht, any longer will need to leave and reenter. If staying for more than that better of getting a tourist visa before entry, 60 days, can extend that for 30 days at immigration 1900 baht. Hope that helps
