so no one has actually done the route - whack 18k into a bank and hope up to London for a Non O retirement visa?

Has anyone recently got a Non-O retirment visa for Thailand from the Thai Embassy in London? Im looking to confirm if they only want 18k GBP in the bank with a single current balance statement and do not require it to be there for a period of time like the last three months. Many thanks

My mate got one from Dr. Lek on Sukhumvit Soi 14; he says it's legit as its gotta a stamp, must be.

I'm applying for a UK Returning Resident visa, and I need to supply VFS Global in Phuket with a TB test. it implies https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tuberculosis-test-for-a-uk-visa-clinics-in-thailand/tuberculosis-testing-in-thailand#attending-the-clinic only two approved clinics in Bangkok... So I can't just walk into my local branch of Bumrungrad Hospital and get a nicely certified TB test on official letterhead from a doctor after an X-ray; it's not allowed, right? Have gotta go by a boat->fly->taxi to a clinic in Bangkok? What......

my wife needs to go to Phuket VFS center to do biometrics for her standard uk visitor visa. On the VFS website they are trying to sell me a package "keep you passport", but surely she will keep it anyway? its an electronic visa isnt it? like they dont put a visa sticker in her passport do they? or do they? I mean, shes going to have to go back to Phuket again to collect her passport is that whats happening here? And if the dont keep her passport would she have to go back to Phuket anyway to to get a visa sticker put into it after a visa is granted?

The company will develop mathematical models of financial markets, no trading, model building and coding only, all staff will be Thai with at least BSc in Math. "offering investment advice", no thank you, I am highly introverted!

number 3 only

yes thanks, Ive made companies before and thats all ok, company setup that is no problem, i have genuine Thai partners. I would not be a shareholder and I will not be a director, and the company will employ Thais with degrees in mathematics and computer science. My question is rather what is the restrictions of foreign job titles? I would like to refer to myself as "Head of Model Development and Research" and work in such a capacity. So I'm trying to understand if that can be the description on my work permit?

I would like to open a Thai company who's main activity is mathematical modelling. Is such a setup allowed under Thai law? Is this a restricted occupation for foreigners? Thanks all for any insight

The Trendy Building, do they have their?
