For I do not know how many thousands of times, THERE IS NO RETIREMENT VISA!
You can get up to one year extension of permission to stay based on retirement or marriage, but one must FIRST obtain, or convert to, a 

•  "Non-Immigrant OA-Long Stay Visa", 
  No idea what you are on about, but it required either 800,000 baht seasoned in a Thai bank account or proof of 65,000 baht/month retirement income.
  I just did the process, and that is what was required.
  There is NO strictly legal way to do this without meeting the financial requirements.
  One aspect that cemented my decision to go to Laos was the "proof of residence" required at Jomtien.
  The condo was rented by my girlfriend because Thai landlords simply do not wish the hassle of reporting falang residents, and probably not incidentally becoming liable for taxes on the income.
  I do not even know who the landlord is as they pay a maid here to "manage" their units.
  If you know of "...a retirement visa, without leaving the country and without money in the bank........", please let the rest of us falangs and The Royal Thai Police who run immigration know all about it.

i have a non -0 visa for 11 years now.

it is extended every year, they put a new stamp in ,and over this stamp comes another stamp:"RETIREMENT"

That's why we (50+ people) call it retirement visa.

Dont remember what a OA-longstay visa is, maybe for youngsters under 50 ?

In other words: an illegal visa obtained through corruption...

 

yep, ...illegal and obtained through corruption ...but it looks 100% ok ....

and since "illegal and corruption" are very everyday and common......seems almost normal...isn't it?

The cost of the visa is supposed to be 1,999 baht for single entry, 5,000 baht for multiple.
What various services charge is up to them, but still waiting to hear how any IO officer can charge more than the price quoted in the Royal Thai Embassy and Consulate websites.
I just this morning returned from Savannakhet Laos with a one year multiple entry "non "O"" visa in my passport, issued by The Royal Thai Consulate there, for 5,000 baht. No more, no less.

 

this is a retirement visa, without leaving the country and without money in the bank........don't be confused with a simple non-o 

On the car parking of immigration , a flyer on each car ,it said....

long term visa's : 12 000 bht ,no need money in the bank , waiting 1 day.

So ,100% fraud........you dont need the 800 000 in the bank BS no more.

costs 12 000 bht  though.

Everything done with official stamps

So a good Samaritan can handle venomous

snakes......catches them ,throw them over the wall.......

snake climes in again......Samaritan has to find it ,handle it ,........

it seems a very risky business? 

One of the days the snake gone find his child first , and then it will be the big crying......?

A smart Samaritan will smash the snake the first time and will minimise the risk for his family,

if this is snake land .....why do you come live on their land in the first place?????

Where my house is ,is my land ...not snake land .

You must understand those people , those dogs are their friends,

they had the same schooling , same attention when young, never worked, 

and the same wealth.......and the same future.

Be understanding?

imagine you just bought the condo of your love ,

and under ( or left, right ,on top) you some <deleted> moves in and makes load music all night long......

or a big family with screaming children moves in next of you.......

You must realize you can do nothing to stop this .......you can try but.....it will not stop.

A stressful time awaits you......

If you rented .....you just move away.......no stress .....

Haha the locals thank you.

 

You don't happen to be bald are you? You guys usually are. Possibly fat too. Not that being fat, bald and possibly drunk is a bad thing. It's just that these Zimmer types usually are!

Yes i'm 135 kg , have a lot of hair but rarely drunk.

i have a huge tattoo on my belly....NO FEAR....and I LOVE MAMA on my shoulder.

My ears look like cauliflowers, and i usually  have 1 or 2 black eyes from training .

 All my club-mates (some of them locals) look like me , for us it is normal .

If you have a problem with this , come and see me ....

I did not now we were called Zimmer-type, but you can explain this when you are here?

You might well have an advance taste of the goods but you don't have the full buffet, as it were ( and particularly when you've had a prior warning about pawing the fare). 

prior warning ? that is new to me.

If so ,i wouldn't dare....

I would go to the most ugly one ,ask her if i could tap her on the ass for 500bht and if yes , tap her ,give here 1000bht ( i never forget to tip) and walk out .

........not in the supermarket ....off course...lol

Snakes are obsolete now.......not needed for anything .

I don't need any land or any car. I just needed to get her values in Thailand so i could deduct it from the money i had to pay her.

She sent in some documents to the court (here in scandinavia) that her mother owns the house and her grandfather owns the land, so the value of the property in Thailand was zero.

So i just hired a lawyer in Thailand and got the correct papers now and told the court at home that the fraud attempt is probably not.....how to say....well, not exactly legal.

So that will probably reduce my expenses with 3,15 million Thb which could be converted in to beer, socks, eggs or plenty of toilet paper.

 

You should have warned me before. Just confirming the content of your reply didn't help anyone.

Now i know that i should not be a bad boy, if i want to keep my money.

I'm sorry i forgot to warn you in time,......

Sorry for a late reply.

 

My daughters english isn't fluent and she can't read or write Thai so well.

For me i can speak 3 languages pretty well or 5 languages if we include all scandinavian languages.

My german is not so good, but i understand if i read.

 

I was a bad boy and made my wife really angry. It will cost me a small fortune, but it doesn't matter if hus and land is in her name. The value is still there and it will reduce the cost of the divorce.

But <deleted>. It's worth all the money and a little bit more. Even my daughter is happy. She's 13 now and still can't understand those ancient Egyptian things

thanks for confirming the content of  my reply .

Seems you dont need to know the meaning of those ancient Egyptian things anymore ,

you dont have land anymore and the only one who could understand the meaning owns the land now.

So everything went as predicted .

But you take your loss well, you are an optimist and happy, your daughter is happy and your wife is happy.

So all ends well .

You can start allover again ........

If you think you are wiser than the teachers......as i think i am......teach your children yourself.......as i do.

You dont speak,read nor write Thai?

As i did........learn it........as i did.

I travel 7 months around in europe and teach them twice a week, 5 months they attent a simple gov.school and then pass the exams......they are smarter than their teachers and help him when he makes a mistake.

They are 8 and 9 yrs.......speak 3 languages fluently ...

It is not fair to complain about the poor english of the teachers.....if you can master only 1 language yourself.....what must your kids think about you?

Who is the lazy one?

I speak 5 languages not learned in school.It is hard work to learn,yes.But it

helps you a lot in life.

If you speak only 3 languages.....you can have the best job you can dream of.

With only english, even in England,you

will find it hard to get a good job.

How your life is ,is the result of what you made of it.

Only my opinion , not mean to offend .

buy what you like and can afford......same as women , nobody can give you advise....it's up to you !

You live among monsters

your best friend can be one

do not trust anyone 

Be extremely careful with your children ,dont trust schoolteachers,neighbors,uncles,.........

Watch your children and their friends.........

Be alarmed when your child comes home with a toy you never saw,with money,sweets,........check it out !!!!
