You can not become Thai. You can only be born Thai. You might have a Thai passport but you will never be Thai.

Being back in New Zealand he is not able to get the training that is available in abundance in Thailand.

This is another option and will cost more than a single wntry Non - O and is extra hassle. Much easier to obtain a visa in the UK before you leave.

You can apply for a Non - O single entry visa for retirement. This will give you 90 days in Thailand. This needs to be applied for in the UK online and will be issued by the London Embassy. It does not show on the London Embassy website but it is available. When you start the online application there is a dropdown box to tick .

Wow ! So we should only care about your experiences and your opinion ? I thought that was the point of the forum,to share information. People on overstay are usualy returning to their own country so no need to show a visa.

KLM allow you to check in online and print your boarding pass 30 hours before your flight. If you only have hand luggage then no need to go to check in desk.

Apologies to all in this thread regarding my insistance that multiple entry is still available. I posted in good faith as was in the middle of an application and at the time multiple was available and an email from the London Embassy was included in earlier posts. However as many of you have posted this is not the case now and only a single entry is available now. I was wrong. Sorry. This is the email I received today from the London Embassy- Dear Sir/Madam Thank you for your email - We do not provide NON-O (Family and Retirement Multiple entry) Please apply for single entry and go for extension at Immigration office in Thailand. Warmest regards, The Visa Team

Spot on.

Factually correct information responding to your silly reply and proving once again you are wrong.

If you do really know the history of Jasmine rice you will know that when it was discovered in Chon Buri it was named as Khao Dok Mali 105 - ข้าวดอกมะลิ 105 -Jasmine flower rice 105', which is often shortened to "Khao Hom Mali" ข้าวหอมมะลิ - khao hom mali. Now please give it a rest 555

It has failed for you though ! But then again I have had 10 years more immersion than you have and to supplement my immersion have studied using every single resource available.

That explains your username 555

In the 31 years of reading,writting and speaking Thai I have made many mistakes along the way but have always been greatful to be corrected when wrong. You clearly do not like to accept you are not as proficient in the Thai language as you think you are. And quoting an idiom from Benjawan Poomsan Beckers series of learning Thai cd/booklets does not impress me.

Clearly you are only a beginner.

To smell great is - มีกลิ่นหอมมาก มีกลิ่นหอมมาก Mee glin hom maak. In the Thai language Hom mali does not translate as to smell great. Do you actualy speak Thai as you are making some weird posts?

You stated that - The "mali" bit is actually to enhance the reference to smelling good. Wrong. Mali is the Thai word for Jasmine flower. That is why it is called Jasmine rice because it has the aroma of the Jasmine flower. My translation explains things clearly to those who do not read or write Thai. ข้าวหอมมะลิ - Khao hom Mali - Rice that smells of the Jasmine flower. Hence Jasmine rice. Khao - ข้าว - Rice , Hom - หอม - to smell of , Mali - มะลิ - Jasmine flower. It is only lost in translation if you translate it wrongly.

No not correct. ข้าวหอมมะลิ - Khao hom Mali - Rice that smells of the Jasmine flower. Khao - ข้าว - Rice , Hom - หอม - to smell of , Mali - มะลิ - Jasmine flower

I am at payment stage of my application but as yet have not had to provide proof of flight,accomodation or bank account statement. Is this done after payment?

Probably best to wait until tomorrow and try again and then the next day until they fix the website problem.

I applied last night and was not able to proceed to payment or upload documents. Today I can not review anything and it just states awaiting payment.

That is what the original post was asking about a multiple entry Non O based on retirement from the UK.

Non O multiple entry based on retirement is still available from London.

Multiple entry is still available.

Me tink you kit too mutt
