What I do know for a certainty is that the department dealing with people trying to get or exchange their current visa for a LTR to avoid having to pay tax has been overwhelmed. Maybe, just maybe they know something

@Pete ******

in mine too but that doesn’t stop it. We have weekenders every week

You do not need a agent though obviously it makes life simpler however it is not difficult to do yourself. Your first job is to go to your local immigration office and ask them for their list of requirements and work through it. It is possible for you to come on what is known as a trailing spouse which means that only your husband needs to have the 800,000 bts on deposit

I always book into an airport hotel the night before my flight as you never know what might cause a delay and you miss your flight. There are several airport hotels with shuttle service for as little as 800bts a night some so close that at a push you could walk but millions of taxis hovering about. Piece of mind it’s worth every penny

@Chas *******

a challenge! Maybe for you, you poor thing! All you need to do is go to immigration and ask for their list of requirements and follow it through. Not difficult and certainly not standing around in the sun for hours unless of course you go there without getting your paperwork in order

You do not need a agent unless you are void of common sense and happy to give your money away

I have ordered 100+ items from Lazada, only 2 have been faulty and were returned for a full refund so I think you have been very unlucky or I’m very fortunate

What does annoy me is the way sellers advertise the items. The picture shows the item you want but the price shows the cheapest ‘variation’ option

This company is approved by Thai immigration

Can I suggest that you to take a look at Gowalkabout as it may be of interest to you. As an example for two people both aged over 70 yrs old insured for £00 each the cost for 18mths is around £1800/ couple. The cover not only includes medical but travel, cancellation, loss etc

Thank you for your comment. My comment regarding insurance was for information only. As you have commented it isn’t mandatory to have insurance for either a 90 day tourist visa or a O visa but nevertheless it is worth consideration which is why I thought to mention it in my original comment
