Well, after doing it for more than 15 years, I dont want to do it myself anymore, can someone provide me the details of a reliable Visa agent in Pattaya for an extension of my retirement visa NON-O for one year. I have the money at the bank since 15 years no problem.

Thanks for your kind help, 

Jacque Merideur

Would appreciate information regarding booster vaccination in Pattaya or even in Bangkok with Moderna. Even if I have to pay for it, but I will need an official certificate. The BPHospital told me that they are still waiting for moderna delivery, it may takes weeks. I have had my 2 vax with Pfizer in France and have the certificate with the QR Code

Thank you

Hi everyone,   

For years, I used to received on my « Promotions » 2 ThaiVisa emails per day and only 1 on Sundays     

But since a few days, I only receive one single email per day  

I dont know why and there is no information from TV regarding the reduction on the number  on emails   

 Anyone else in the same situation ?  

 Cheers

Dear Peter Denis,

I am interested in applying for a Non Imm O-A Visa in my home-country, and very interested to receive a comprehensive  Guideline document with the options on how to meet the health-insurance requirement for such application.   

I am a French citizen, 72 years old, since the last 10 years I always had my retirement visa NON-O extented without any problem. The current extension is valid until the 18 of january 2021 and I have a multi entree until that date but I am blocked in France because holders of such visa are not allowed to re enter Thailand.

Can you, please, help me with a guideline and informations to get a NON – OA Retirement visa and of course a CoE from the Thai Embassy in Paris  

I sincerely thank you very much in advance for your kind assistance

Best regards,

Jacques Merideur

Hi, everybody,  

I am a French citizen, 71 years old, still single (except 1 or 2 times a month...) and no kids

In the past, I have had my retirement visa renewed without any problem during the last 12 years, but now, as you all know it has become much and much more difficult

Ok.

Then and against my will, I dont have any other choice than to reduce very much the time I spend in Thailand.

I intend to go to Phnom Penh (I go there every year and knows well the place) to apply for a 3 months visa, my questions :

1/. Does a 3 months Tourist visa for Thailand exist or not ?

2/. If it doesn’t exist, then I will have to ask for a 3 months visa... My question: is this a Non –O or a Non-OA Visa ?

3/. What list of documents the Consulate will ask me to provide in order to deliver (or not) the visa

I thank you very much for the updated info that you could provide to help me as I am a becoming more and more depressed every day

Cheers

Try www.expat.vn

 

Granted I was wanting to stay for a year without having to exit and reënter but maybe they can do something similar with multiple entries.

 

I asked them:

What is the least painful way to stay in Vietnam (DaNang or HCMC) long stay, around 1 year? I'm looking for something like a retirement visa, long stay in one place and little travel needed to extend time. I'm American age 73 currently retired in Thailand.

You can stay continuously for 1 year in Vietnam unless you change to a new passport or your passport expired that you need to get a new visa. Otherwise, you won't have to leave Vietnam.

 

Our offer is for 1 year approval letter for visa on arrival, tourist, multiple entry type. At the airport/ Vietnamese embassy, you'll present this approval letter to get a stamp on your passport, and usually, the stamping fee is 135 USD. Please note our fee is not included for this stamping fee.

 

Thanks,

Hi everyone, 

As I will have to leave Thailand for visa reason: maybe someone could help me with some advices regarding LAOS 

I am 71 and I have had a retirement visa in Thailand since the last 11 years

Do they have retirement visas in Laos ? If yes: how much does that cost per year ? Do you have to have a certain amount of funds in one of their bank ?  What is the procedure to get a retirement visa ?

Thanks in advance to those who took some of their time to help

Cheers

2 million baht limit to neighboring countries and Vietnam. That is for Thai Baht currency only. The amount is unlimited to any country if transported in foreign currency.

Yes, you must declare it if the value is more than US$ 15,000 equivalent. Do that at the VAT refund counter at the airport before you pass through security.

 

Thank you very much Monomial, where can I find an oficial printed  document confirming that,

Hi everyone, 

I have read here in the past that we can take up to one million baths in cash when flying to a neighbouring country like Laos or Malaysia

It this still true and still legal ? 

Do I have to make a custom declaration at the Bangkok airport ?

Thanks in advance to those who will take some time to help me with their responses

Hi,

How much Thai Baths in cash can a foreigner bring to Thailand  ??

Thanks for your answers

Cheers

Since the last 7 years I used to go to the Pattaya Tax (Excises) Department once a year, with all the documents to make a tax return claim. I never had any problem at all. I handed over the docs to the guy, he filled the form in Thai for me, make the necessary photocopies, I give him 200 baths and 5 to 8 weeks later, I used to receive my check

This year, they told me that they don’t fill up the forms anymore, and, that I have to find a Thai Person to do it for me....

The people I know are incapable to do it

Anyone here know an accountant shop or office in PTYA where I could get it done at a fair price  ?

Thanks to all for your help                  

Hi everyone,

Also, for evenings, can anyone recommend me some places to meet Gays and lady boys, please

I thank you for your kind help
