Help with renewing retirement visa

[ross163103]

Typical forum thread; starts out with a reasonable question then descends into the semantics of what was said, then descends even farther when the criticism/bickering between members starts. I've cut down on asking questions because of this. Too bad because there's a wealth of knowledge and experience from the members available......if you can withstand the BS that comes with it.

I think that the visa extension of stay controversy comes about because the Thais have adopted visa and use it instead of permission to stay which would then need amplification by retirement, marriage, study etc.

Thanks everyone for their help. Very informative and entertaining. I will think very carefully re my wording next time I have a question for TV.

I have an extension of stay. Sorry, I am 77 and I get muddled up sometimes with all the terminology.

Don't apologize. I think most of us knew what you meant.

Indeed. There's always a relatively new guy on this forum who thinks he's discovered an "ah ha" moment when visa terminology is misused. Too bad the rest of us have to suffer his posts, and the subsequent ones needed to put him in place.

"Casual conversation" leads to misunderstandings, confusion, and errors especially if that "conversation" is conducted in writing in a forum.

Why are people quoting posts that are well over 4 months old. Look at the date on them before quoting them.

lelapin you will have no problems.

Best idea is always to go and ask what they require.

thats the best info given....get the info from the horses mouth....too many so called EXPERTS in here.....

Immigration confuse the matter by putting a big Retirement stamp across the extension of stay stamp. I was guilty of calling it a retirement visa for some time as well.

[Nemises]

Some Visa Agencies can also confuse the issue by falsely telling newbies that they will get them a “Retirement VISA”.

I don't think so the first or 2nd posts bumping it up were not done early enough for the morning or afternoon newsletters done yesterday.
