Do you need a return ticket to enter Thailand or can you show onward travel instead?

Ken ********

You don't need one. I came in visa exempt on a one way ticket. Best to call the airline before booking. I did that and they said it wasn't necessary.

What steps do I need to follow to obtain a Non-O visa for retirement in Chiang Mai after arriving on a 30-day visa-exempt entry?

Ken ********

I'll need to do the same thing, but in Phuket, as I need to do the Sandbox. I'm going to try and get a tourist visa online to give me more flexiblity, but not sure if I can from Ecuador.

@Benjamin *****

I didn't realize you had to leave of the multi entry. It's good to know that an option remains that will allow you to stay. Thanks for the explaining.

I didn't realize they were not issuing multi entry Non-O visa for retirement. Can you extent the Single entry Non-O every 90 days?

What are the requirements for an investment visa in Thailand, and how much needs to be invested?

Ken ********

So, you're saying the 800,000 baht in the bank is only if you are married to a Thai?

Ken ********

One or the other, not both. It's my understanding, you can use the money in the bank throughout the year, but need to have 800,000 baht in the bank again, three months before you renew. You must also check in with immigration every 90 days. I'm no expert and not yet living there, but that what was explained to me.
