Be careful. Some offices, mine being one of them, insist on 3 months before applying for extension so best go and ask at your IO. I came very close to coming unstuck!

Can I apply for an OA retirement visa in Thailand with a Thai bank account and health insurance?

Nick ************

@Robert ********

you apply for 90 days first at the end of which you apply for 12 month extension stamp. All done within Thailand but give yourself plenty of time on your initial 30 day Visa exempt entry.

What are the best visa agencies in Bangkok for obtaining a retirement visa?

@Nick ***************

pay an agent 5000 baht for a retirement extension then it is almost certainly going to give you problems even if you get your passport back.

Do I need to re-register my TM30 after domestic travel if my address hasn’t changed?

Nick ************

Depends on the office and my office has changed from not wanting to wanting another registration quite recently. I think they now have a computer that makes it easier to see that you have been staying out of province.

per month fails. If it doesn't I have

0 baht to go on holiday with. (Joke)! It realy is a question of continually checking things out at your local office.

@Todd ********

I agree with you but you have to choose your agent carefully. I used an agent for two years and they did a great job. I had no problems in my home province or when entering or leaving the Kingdom. I have now been able to meet the criteria and have obtained my extension myself locally.

@Gary ********

I asked about this at my local office to the senior officer. Her reply was that she would accept the Wise transfer note as proof of international transfer. But she added that next year she might not be the boss and whoever was might not accept it. Back to square one.

Is it possible to use an agent to manage my retirement visa requirements using their own funds in Thailand?

Nick ************

@Brandon ***********

I did manage to get off the agent provided Visa and get one locally at my immigration office myself. I had been warned at bkk that I should get my next extension myself so I did with a little perseverance. I was required to have

0 baht in my account for 3 months prior to applying. I made it by 3 days!
