What experiences do expats have with obtaining a 90-day Non-Immigrant O visa and transitioning to a one-year retirement visa in Bangkok?

@Russell ******

In Pattaya the letter is valid for 3 business days. But the bank book has to be updated the same day you apply.

What are the best ways to access cash in Thailand if you've lost your debit card?

David *********

Get a Thai bank account. Then call your Canadian Bank with all the details for the transfer and have your bank in Canada send the funds. I have done this with CIBC and the money was in my Thai bank the next day

David *********

There is no such thing as an International Driving License. Any company offering this, it is a SCAM. No country in the world can issue a driving license to drive in another country.

What documentation do I need from my Thai bank for my retirement extension with an $800k THB deposit?

David *********

The only document you need from your bank is a letter from the bank. My bank charges 100 THB and letter is valid for three business days. Then you need copy of your bank book First page and all pages going back one year. Immigration while require passport copy along with copy of entry stamp. Also proof of residency. Photo
