Is it better to apply for a retirement visa in the UK before moving to Phuket?

Roger *********

Get it in the UK. We just moved funds from our joint account into 2 separate accounts and got a statement each to use. Police record requirement is handled centrally (I think it was Sussex Police from memory).

Where can I get a medical certificate for an O-A visa in Southern UK?

Roger *********

My wife went to her NHS GP and he charged her £30. Mine refused (different practice) and I ended up paying a fortune to have it privately.

Can I obtain a six-month METV Visa if I apply six months before my flight?

Roger *********

Not sure that is right. Thought you can enter anytime within 3 months of visa issue, and then your six month starts at the point of entry. May well be wrong though.

Do I need to do 90-day reporting if I travel out of Thailand quarterly on a retirement visa?

Roger *********

@Patrick *****

We got 1 year multi-entry visas in London based on money in UK bank accounts, and then only needed the money in a Thai account (for my wife) for future extensions.

Do I need to do 90-day reporting if I travel out of Thailand quarterly on a retirement visa?

Roger *********

My wife (German passport) and I (British Passport) both have 1 year extensions, based on a visa originally issued in London. Mine is based on income, and wife's is based on the 800K in a Thai bank account.

Do I need to do 90-day reporting if I travel out of Thailand quarterly on a retirement visa?

Roger *********

No. We have retirement visas and travel a lot; never staying more than 60 days at a time, so we never have to do a 90 day report.

How can I convert my UK driving licence to a Thai licence, and what are the requirements?

Roger *********

Phuket took us less than 30 mins with British IDP, medical certificate (200 Baht from local doctor), residence certificate from immigration (300 THB). Braking reaction test, and colour test and that was it. Photo and driving license printed out there and then.

What are the limits on METVs and visa exempt entries for Thailand, and should I consider a Retirement Visa?

Roger *********

If you over 50 go the retirement route; it makes life so much easier. Come and go as much as you want, no questions at the border/airport. Just have to be here once a year to get an extension after the first 2 years (or just under).

Can I pay my overstay fine at the airport if I need to leave Thailand?

Roger *********

Won't help you today, but for future reference Qatar Airways now fly to CM, without the Bangkok change.
