Nick Rostron so sorry, maybe a different day and clerk would be better? Worth a try. I went to the government offices in Khon Kaen with my Thai fiancé for his business issues, as an observer. I couldn’t believe the endless paperwork. We had to drive over an hour each way. The sad part is; could have been handled easily through a fax. I was amazed how patient, cordial, and accepting the Thai public were.
Respect is appropriate around the world. How would you like to deal with Thailand’s mountain of paperwork , day in and day out? They are kind, helpful and do the best they can for low pay.
Graham Seal do you know the age limit? I searched and didn’t find without asking them directly. I’m not ready yet and don’t want to be inundated with notices.
Personally I want insurance when the time comes to relocate. I understand presently good medical care is reasonable, but that could change. Also if accidents or a catastrophic illness occurs, best be covered. Also have vehicle insurance for you and others.
Henrik Mau plus extension, not hard to get if one goes to immigration within 12 days or less of your 60 day tourist visa. Go early and check for unexpected government holidays, and there are a lot.
