Can I apply for a four-month extension on my 90-day non-immigrant (O) retirement visa in Thailand?

@Bob *********

it seems the requirement of showing the money is from overseas varies from office to office. Not required in Chiang Mai. You would have to check Buriram.

Can I switch from the monthly deposit method to the banked money method for my retirement visa extension in Thailand?

Robert *********

I am in the process of doing this, do I have to have the 800k in the bank for 12 months prior to changing? Or just seasoned for 2 months? In Chiang Mai. Mine will be in a separate account and won't be touched

What visa should my 70-year-old dad apply for to stay long-term in Thailand?

@Sylvia *******

the agent doing it without the necessary funds is breaking the law, as you, and everyone going this route, should be fully aware. I know it's been happening forever, but one day, the curtain will fall, and there will be a lot a disappointed expats deported, and a few agents in jail. Not the way I want to travel, thanks.

Best friend Visa, as economical as they get. He will need to put 800,000 in the bank in his name only. Organising a bank account is not easy, but possible.

And as he ages, a friend lives in a retirement village, without care, for only

@Tony ******

simply you won't open an account without it. Yes, I know it's a catch 22, but this I Thailand, you get used to it.

@Paul ********

oh, so your Passport is "international". I've never heard of that country. Wake up dickhead. If you haven't got a passport, you aren't coming. If you have, say where it's from, international doesn't work
