Should I choose a Visa on Arrival or a Tourist Visa for a 90-day stay in Thailand?
Phil ******
@Martin *******
 VOA is only for 15 days if you mean entering Thailand without a visa or Visa Exempt then thats for 60 days depending on your history you may be allowed an extension for 30 days.

Make sure you have an outward trip within 60 days ฿20,000 or equivalent in cash and where your staying.

Good luck

Can my grandfather combine his social security and savings to apply for a Non-O visa from the US for retirement in Thailand?
Phil ******
Best to apply before he comes. I think (my opinion) is the Embassy website where you wish to apply will want ฿800,000 (or equivalent) in his home bank. Best ask your embassy
