ubonjoe Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 You should have no problem getting another tourist visa in Savannakhet. Where did you get your last one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 You can easily get a tourist visa in Savannakhet. You could even get another one there that would give you the 6 months you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caps Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Thanks Joe I am going to try and get the 6 month multi entry but I don't have the 5k they require when getting it in the UK Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk whilst drinking a cold beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want one you will have to return to the UK and apply for a METV there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnatong Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Thanks, singles it is then Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk whilst drinking a cold beer Just re read your original post. If you aim to retire in Thailand there is no "retirement visa" You could obtain an O/A visa from the Thai embassy in London but you would have to provide evidence of having the equivalent of 800,000 Bht in a bank or certified evidence of having a monthly income of 65, 000 Bht. You can obtain a single entry "O" visa from a nearby country and then apply for an extension of stay based on retirement but you would have to meet the financial requirements mentioned above to obtain the visa and the subsequent extension of stay.

Caps Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Got back this morning from my visit to Savannakhet for my new tourist visa. Really easy to get and it cost me 1000Baht. Stayed at the Avalon Hotel in the old building, clean enough, internet was rubbish, food at the cafe they have was fair. Along couple of days but a lot cheaper than flying back to the UK to get one .
