Uk Woman Moving To Thailand


Recommended Posts

Hi, I have a couple of questions for the experts which I hope you can explain in simple straight forward terms.

I am a UK passprot holder from blighty and intend to go to Chiang Mai to live with a Thai female friend there for the rest of my life. I am 48 , so I realise I am 2 years off of the minimum retirement visa age. I have the funds for now and enough for the qualification after 50. I will be staying in CM till I reach 60.

Q1 Am I required to apply from outside the Kingdom or can I do it from CM or a neighbouring country, rather than back here in the UK.

I have applied for a 60 day tourist visa in UK from Thai Embassy already and have a one way ticket for late March 2004. I intend to cross the border every month.

Q2 Can you advise if I should be applying for a different visa before I go? What other options are there.

for a thai visa you do can get one from any thai consulate outside thailand, but not in CM.

yes, if you are going to be staying in thailand for 12 years, you can't be a tourist. what you need is a Non-Immigrant visa. again you need to get your visa before you arrive in thailand. as you already know you will need to be 50 years or older to qualify for a retirement visa.

one year extensions are available from thai immigration once you have a non immigrant visa. that is what your goal should be.

there are many details and requirements for some of what i mentioned, its best to explore this website and follow this forum for more information.
