Is it harder to get a retirement visa in Thailand compared to retiring in Mexico?

David **********

@David *********

you can stay as long as you want anywhere until you decide to leave or get caught overstaying. That's when everything changes.

Is it harder to get a retirement visa in Thailand compared to retiring in Mexico?

David **********

"you just drive into Mexico and stay anywhere for anytime" Surely you can't be that naive. But because you probably are, just go ahead and do that. Thailand is doing fine without you

What is the best visa option for staying in Thailand for a year before committing to living there?

David **********

Doubt you will be able to just keep coming and going on 60 day entries as this shows a "pattern" that you are living here and not a tourist. Many stories recently of people being denied entry as immigration is cracking down. I don't know the details on the multi-entry tourist visa, but I'm sure someone here can fill you in.

Can I travel to another city in Vietnam after applying for a DTV visa in Hanoi?

David **********

They may ask for further proof of location, so best to stay in a city that is served by the Hanoi embassy. For what it's worth, we didn't have any problem with Ho Chi Minh, 5 days to process

What are the steps to obtain a Non-O visa and extend it based on retirement in Thailand?

David **********

you don't have to go back to the UK. You just have to prove that you are not in Thailand. We did ours in Vietnam and it was a very easy process.

Am I over or under budgeting for a 6-month stay in Thailand?

David **********

I agree. $30 a day for food for 1 person is crazy! We budget $30 a day, but that's for 3 people, and most days we don't even come close to spending that much.
