Don't get sucked in. This seems to be the buzz phrase. It's not difficult at all, if you enter Thailand with the correct Visa and take the time to find out requirements. You might want to look into getting a Non immigrant O Visa before you leave your country.

Go to your local branch. They will give you a printout of requirements. It's not difficult at all.

Yet when they all get together, they make enough noise to wake the dead. They just don't like loud when it suits them .

Had you taken the time to go to immigration and start asking questions you would have known. It's always my first port of call, because different offices have different rules. Now that your money is seasoned if I understand correctly, it should be straight forward applying again you have done it before . Good luck. I think you're applying for Non O no background check or insurance needed

Do you know if you took the time to read the requirements, you would not be in a state of confusion. So much accurate information out there. It would truly make your life easier to research. I say this with the utmost of respect.

In retirement, time one has. Unless you feel the need to buy large plots of land in someone else's name and become a farmer in your old age. Like I have seen so many times before. Agents work for some people , and some people like the challenges of doing things themselves. People do as they please.

Wrong! you don't have to be clever to do it.

Oh dear

On the site I had options for Stay with Friend and hotel where I stayed one night. I filled in both. At that stage I didn't have a fight but I entered the airline and flight number. No proof was asked for.
