As I wrote in the beginning of my previous message - I have succeeded to get a new passport (not an extended one).

I have a new passport valid until August 2026. Now I have another question. Since this is my second consecutive retirement visa and I already have 800,000 THB in my own bank account, shouldn’t I be paying Maneerat Agency less than I did last year (which was 20,000 or 25,000 THB)? That was my first application, and they helped fund my account at the time. Wouldn't 10,000 or 15,000 THB be a more reasonable fee for their services now?

I will definitely ask for a new 1 year passport (they refuse to give me one for a longer period) from my embassy. There are only 3-4 free pages left in the old one anyway.

Just got from MANEERAT now. Was quite surprised. They told me that if I get a 1 year extension of my passport for one year (which is manually added to the existing passport) - this passport may be not eligible for the Retirement visa prolongation (extension, renewal - call it whatever you want). She told me that the extended passport is actually not a normal passport (even if it looks exactly like one). Any thoughts?

through the maneerat agency

I got a retirement visa about 1 year ago for 1 year . I think it is NON-O-A. Now I interested in the procedure of extending this visa for one more year. I am especially interested in the passport validity minimum.

If I understood you right, if this is my second retirement visa application (in a row) - it is considered as an extension and I don't need to go through 2 months waiting period again before the visa is issued?

My question is specifically about minimal validity of the passport. The embassy is ready to give me a passport for one year exactly but as I heard there may need a month or two more before they can process my visa application.

A new retirement visa for one year. The old one expires in July.

What is the minimum passport validity required to apply for a retirement visa? Thanks.

well, it could be 49%. Or even as low as 40. It is not a science, just an opinion. These days of Trump everyone have a right for their own opinions.

I don't believe a single word of yours.

But you're so small—your thoughts, your way of thinking, your tendency to idolize insect-like perspectives... There's no way you could ever be a master. Let me guess: just a hundred years ago, your ancestors were digging in the dirt with their bare hands.

There are no tourists in this world. Only other human beings. What kind of human being you personally are to post stupidities like this? Look into yourself- there is something definitely missing.
