Quite a few offices seem reluctant, unless provided financial incentives to do so. However, they were lying when they told you getting the visa outside Thailand was the only option.

If so, we can add it to the list of Immigration-Offices with made-up rules for Conversions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of these rules, I never planned to stay here longer-term - until I met my wife. But there are other aspects of Thailand (food, culture, infrastructure) which make it more appealing than Cambodia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuiseM Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 The website of the consulate in Vientiane indicates they will still accept the letter from the US consulate as proof of income, when applying for a non-O for retirement purposes. Does anybody know if this is correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anybody know if this is correct? Yes that is correct. But they also require a medical and police clearance. Savannakhet will do one with only the income affidavit from the embassy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
