Both questions are No, I plan to have 12 months deposits transferred each month as proof for the next extension. I am looking at obtaining another Retirement non-O extension but based on the 12 month deposits and not using an agency for next year, as I want to avoid agency fees each year. Can this be done without leaving Thailand ?

Yes, I will use Agency an again this time, and will use the 12 months of monthly of deposits for the next extension, to avoid the agency fees each year. If Wise is not an issue with the proof of transfers, can I do it myself for the next extension, without leaving the country to obtain another visa. I am currently, on Retirement non-O extension, expires End of October 2023. Thanks

I currently have non-0 visa based on retirement. (used an agency before), but I can meet the 65,000 monthly income requirement. Yes, Apply for a non-o Visa again in Thailand No, will not have letter from embassy for proof, just the 12 months deposit showing on my bank statement.

I am looking at applying for the Retirement Visa-O visa (Currently living in Thailand). I will use the 65,000 a month Income for 12 months, my monthly income will be paid into Thailand via Wise account. Is this an issue ? does the monthly transfers need to show that the income transfer came from an actual overseas bank account ?

Did you have to provide any proof that you are a resident in UK ?

Thanks for the replies, Are there any advantageous for having the Yellow Book and Pink ID card for living in Thailand ? The house is built in Suphan Buri but I have moved and renting in Bangkok.

I have house built in Suphan Buri District, my wife has the house registered in her name and has the blue book, so my question is, can I have the house registered in my name and apply for the Yellow House Book ?

As anyone applied for their first childs British Passport in Thailand (Trendy Building in Bangkok) ? Are all the following documents needed and then translated into English ? Childs Birth Certificates Marriage Certificate House registration Wifes Birth Certificate (Thai Passport Expired) Wifes Name change Any other documents am I missing ?

What about all the digital nomad's and Independent Contractors who are working in Thailand ? I guess there a few living in Thailand. Are the authorities concerned as you are not taking any jobs away from a Thai ?

The same, this will be my 5th vaccine shot. so far, 2 x Pfizer, followed by 2 x Moderna. Hopefully 5 be the last, until the new Generation of vaccines come out.

Anyone know where you can get a Vaccine Shot in Pattaya ? I previously went to BPH for my previous 2 x booster shots but they have no more Moderna available now. Thanks

For a full Health Check-up, any private hospitals can do this, you pay for the tests and for Doctors consulation, prices vary depending on the Hospital. If you just want basic blood tests, I often go to a clinic, I pay about 250 baht, anything not abnormal on the report, I then book appointment to see a doctor. Any pre-existing conditions, yes, will need to declare them with Pacific Cross, cover will not include pre-existing conditions, so that is something to think about.

Congratulations on your retirement. Regarding Health Insurance, I am with Pacific Cross, can renew up-to 99 years old. You can check the prices for your age, might be expensive, or like others have said, self insure. https://www.pacificcrosshealth.com/en/health-insurance/

I had a bad smell in my bathroom, I used this that I brought from Tesco. Smell has gone away.

Mine has also just arrived, some kinda of Delay with the Banks, 1st time this has happened.

I often transfer USD to my Thai Bank Account, about 4 times a month, and the transfer is usually is processed in seconds. For some reason today I got the following message: Anyone else having or had issues with using Wise lately ?

My UK driving Licence expired and I also have a Thai Driving Licence. I renewed my UK Driving Licence online, using my parents UK address to get the card delivered. I believe you can use your Thai Driving Licence, overseas, UK for sure, don't know about other countries. I guess it depends on your home country, but it might be useful to renew if you can.

Is it necessary to get a 5th dosage of the covid-19 vaccine ? It appears most are on either 3 or 4 doses. How many vaccine doses have you had ? Will it do more harm than good by having endless booster shots, every 3 - 6 months ? What are your thoughts ?

Yes, register and can watch for free, I connect using the USA - Washington VPN Server

I am using www.tubitv.com connected via VPN - USA Server.

I am on a NON-0 retirement visa not a Non 0A Visa, so Insurance proof is not required as I understand with a Non-O Retirement Visa. Insurance for Non-OA visa only.
