What is the best way to get an inexpensive Thai phone number for my LTR Visa stamp?

Tony **********

All phone plans here are cheap relative to the usa. Suggest you go to an AIS store and buy an annual pre paid package for data only and just top up every once in a while with ฿100 for calls and txt.

How long does it take for a Non-O visa application to process in Washington D.C.?

Tony **********

I believe they prioritize by departure date. So just relax, if they haven't asked for more documentation, you'll be fine.

What is the best retirement visa for an Australian citizen moving to Jomtien, Thailand: O, O-A, or O-X?

Tony **********

@Graeme ******

it's not hard if you have: passport copies, residence certificate, long term lease, etc. show up looking somewhat professional, smile and treat bank officers with respect. I'm surprised how many people i see showing up at a bank in a singlet and flip flops... Banks consider themselves professional, respect is important.

@Robert ****

and your visa gets revoked once they crash down further. Better to follow the rules rather than sorry corruption.

@Graeme ******

apply for non-o from aus. Don't waste your money on an agent. Process is easy, though feels tedious at times. Just be patient and follow simple directions.

What are the requirements and process for applying for a retirement visa in Thailand while on a 30-day visa?

@John *********

that is exactly what i advised her to do. But also, to do a little better research so she understands the process better rather than relying on FB opinion.

@Vicki ******

you need to do a little better research. Go to Laos, apply for visa via evisa for non-o based on over 50. Once you get visa, reenter the kingdom on your non-o. Then go open a bank account. At the end of your 90 day non-o visa, and having seasoned your 800k for 2 months, you can apply for a 12 month extension of stay.

@Wannikea ********
