Agree

@Pete *****

It’s very frustrating at the moment , There are steps that ( 6 months ago ) we could do ourselves in Thailand , But now we can’t .

The alternatives are pay here for the whole process …..or go out of Thailand & come back on tourist Visa or

Apply on Thai Embassy website for a 6 Multi Entry tourist Visa .

Paying for the whole thing here ensures you get a Thai Bank Acc

@Pete *****

Fair enough

You will need to contact

@THAI *****************************

and ask the process

It is possible for them to do

They have all the contacts

But it’s not cheap

Do you have a Thai bank acc

With the required 800K

If not

You will need to use an agent

@THAI *****************************

Non OA requires having

IPD - inpatient cover

&

OPD - outpatient

Good points there

…..Will it just make new / more procedures “ underground “

For those offering Retirement Visa services ….

Visa agents that in the past have used “ funds “ to assist with getting Retirement Visa through Bangkok Bank , can no longer do this ( if they have a / use BKK bank account )

If you are in Thailand now

You will need

A statement from your Telco

Showing that they have your address & passport .

Take it to the BKK bank branch -

They will take a current photo of you & that should suffice
