I just came with a 90 Non O visa, opened a bank account and used an agent to get 1 year retirement visa. Cost paid to agent was 18,000 baht + 4,000 baht for multiple entry for a total of 22,000 baht. Did not have to have much in bank account. The immigration office actually gave me 15 months before expiration! 90 days plus 1 year!
Any American in Bangkok who would care to have lunch and tell me what they like and dislike about being there, I’m buying lunch. I will be back in Bangkok May 2 through May 28
