So you Are Brit ( Northern Irland ) As your FB Profil tell us....well if you have a pension at home you may be ask for a NON O in the next consulate ....but as I understand they will not give you a year visa.....so may be try the 6 Month tourist visa , but you have to leave 2 times or do a broader Run.....if you have " enough " in NI on a bank or a house or or or...try to " deal " with the thai consulate.....but wait till you are back ...things changing ....
All its very easy.....thailand US the best Place to stay in the golden age.....and the Visa is NO Problem...... ....as i Do Not Know witch nationality you are.....just go to the next thai consulate to ask for the papers you need.....it's very easy ....yes as normal you need a health insurance but with 65 you have already, but the nice consulates will tell you. You will need a money deposit of 800.000 thb....not on a shared account....but this can be done later....first you get a non ( immigrant ) visa O ( others ) try to get this...if they not do you will get the OA as for retired usual.....there are different possibilities for the money, as you can get it monthly to your Thai Bank account .....every month from abroad needs 65.000 ...but as described all easy....it's a Paradise
It's funny to read so much bulshit here... How can your own government... Name it.... Deal so unprofessional and discrscing to their people....and nobody tell it here. But blame the government.... Here
Nice guests... I would think twice before I write this kind
I think you got it wrong... Normall visa B holders with work permit can extend it with the company papers requested. These with work permit 90 days and normal visa run.. Need a letter from their embassy
