Welcome to the Thailand boards

Where almost every question is answered by people who don’t live here

The rules have surly changed

If your in a position to get one

Do it

People have been talking about coming back visa exempt a second time and getting the tutorial about not allowed

The few post I’ve seen were allowed in eventually but I’m sure it’s a hassle

Good luck

You can come here on your exemp passport and file for a non o

Inside the country

It’s a 90 day retirement visa without police report and medical insurance requirements

You still have to check in every 90 days

Good luck

I’m an American citizen. I already got my wife a green card.

In fact, we didn’t wanna live there so we turned it in and reapplied for the B visa and got it

I’ve been through the entire shit show my friend p.m. or ask any questions you need

I don’t know what appointment you made, but that’s not how they do it here unless it’s an emergency situation and then you only get a five page passport. That’s good for one year.

A normal 50 page book must be mailed in to their embassy with a address return

From start to finish mine took 2

to 3 weeks. It’s pretty fast if everything is correct when you send it.

I believe it’s a DS 11 page please look online for info that you fill out send in your existing passport

They send you both back with holes, punched in your old one for you to transfer any visa into your new one when you take both to immigration

You must go to the same immigration place that stamped your old passport

Good luck

Yes you can do that

I won’t say how

But you can figure it out
Chris *******
As you said ship it

They do the work

I got mine in 2.5 weeks

lol

Yes mate

I even laugh with her 8 older brothers

I’m not going no where

To be honest with you at this point, I think if I left, they’d kill me because it hurt them, not her

Good luck mate p.m. if you want to chat some more anytime

You can send money to your wife there is no tax on that

I transferred from USA through Charles Schwab to my bank account and then I sent it to her

I have also in the past sent direct to my wife

Keep in mind there isn’t anything set in stone, but the Thai government does look at foreign transfers to your account

In that case, you should send everything to your wife’s account

As I did

The people on here telling you to buy it through a company they’re already admitting failure

Everything I have bought here is in my wife’s name proudly seven years married plan on making it the rest of my life

I went into this as a permanent thing

In my mind, put it in a business name is not fully engaging your life partner

Hopefully you’re just as lucky as I am. Good luck.
