Non-o For Retirement

[FlakeyFoont]

I plan to go to Laos next week to apply for a non-O for retirement. The web site:

http://www.thaiembassy.org/vientiane/consu...ervices_en.html states the required documents as:

Passport

Visa application

Curriculum vitae

Copy of bank statement

Is the "Curriculum Vitae" still a requierment? I haven't see it mentioned anywhere on this form.

I'm using a letter from the US embassy as proof of funds. Will the Thai embassy need to keep the original copy or will I get it back?

You will only get a single entry. This will give you a stay of 90 days. Only passport needed.

You will then have to extend it at Immigration in Thailand for twelve months if you meet the financial requirements.
