Alert regarding Retirement Visas

[save the frogs]

American lawyer in Thailand issuing an alert.

This is only for people who are still in their home country considering to come to Thailand and converting to a retirement visa.

Apparently, it's not easy at the moment .

But doesn't affect current retirement visa holders.

He is also knocking the DTV, saying it was "not was it was purported to be". 

Not sure what he means.

 

Prime minister suspended, so this is causing issues in the Thai govt and with immigration. 

 

So as of know, it's not affecting current retirement visa holders but he is expecting that there may be some volatility within the immigration system moving forward.

Or is he just fear-mongering to sell his legal services ??

 

Sorry if this was a useless post. 

 

Mods, maybe best to lock this thread. I think this guy might just be trying to fear-monger to sell his legal services.

What he is trying to say is.... 

You should obtain a Non O visa in home country or elsewhere PRIOR to entering Thailand. 

Rather than enter Thailand on visa exempt or tourist visa and attempt to obtain the Non O at local immigration office. 

The main reason being difficulty in opening a thai Bank account on tourist status.

why is he saying to contact a visa lawyer?
just apply online for  a non o visa for reasons of being over 50  with ur 800,000 in the bank
