Sometimes you have to shop a round for the retirement visa.

In pattaya its goes around 35 to 40 thousand Tb

I have been told

'Cambodia visa centre'in pattaya cheapest.

I done mine in jomtien bit expensive.

It takes 3 weeks

You need to have enough days to cover it.

If you dont. need to take 30day extension and apply.

By the way

When bank account opens

You get one year

Free insurance

Get a thai insurance that's what they want

AXA Thailand

@London ****

This is Thailand

Agents dont break the rules .

They just know how to get around it.

I am not sure but I think the bank loans you the money.

They do arrange every thing money too

Dont ask me how

@London ****

Yes they keep your passport

I came to thailand 30 days visa exemption on 31th dec.on the 4th dec

With an agent went to jomtien pattaya immigration together with my agent

She done everything for me bank account ect.

Multi entry 15 mounts its 40.000 Tb .

After 15 months you get yearly .

Then ,With the agent that cost 15.000 tb

It's worthed if you have th spare money

It takes 3 weeks to get it.so you must do in that first 30 days you have.

If you dont have enough time .

Get 30 days extension for 1900tb.with an agent 4000.

Then apply for your retirement visa

Alway book with agoda

Asq+ hotel that s inculed airport transfer and the tests.

It worked for me

You shouldn't have any proplems

Go back to the Asq Hotel you had your first test

They do.take photo copy of your passport and the paper work they given you when you had your first test.

That's what I done

One day late is ok

No charge for it.

Ones happen to me

But it's scary.

Different officer comes and takes you to a room

Write few things on your passport then you go back to the check out again and get stamped.

Nothing to worry

All the best
