nasa123 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 New from Immigration in Phuket, if you want new O Retirement visa or renew the old one, you now must have a picture of you alone (Like marriage people must do) in front of the house you live in and they most see the house number. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should not affect anyone then, seeing as Immigration does not issue retirement visas and visa are not renewed. Maybe you meant extensions of stay based on being over 50 ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
federicoP Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I have been yesterday at the Phuket Immigration for information about the annual stay extension permit based a retirement visa, and they asked me this kind of picture (I do not know if 4x6 standard pictures or printed on a A4 paper). They also recommended me to present all the photocopies of documents (TM card, passport pages, etc.) oriented so the content can be read without turning the paper 90 degrees.........

We all know what the terminology should be. I think the terminology is important, I have know idea what the OP is talking about. A Visa, that sticker with squiggly lines and the word VISA printed on it, is issued outside Thailand. As far as I know you cant get that sticker with squiggly lines and the word VISA printed on it, issued inside Thailand. That visa allows you to stay for 1 year then get an extension of stay. Is the OP is talking about an extension of stay based on not having a visa, converting a tourist visa, a Visa that is issued inside Thailand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the rest of us prefer to make a trip every 12 months to our local immigration office for a fresh extension of stay based on retirement!

federicoP Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Does anybody know if they want 4x6 inches pictures on photographic paper, or pictures printed on standard A4 sheet of paper ?

We all know what the terminology should be. Because there is no "retirement visa" and in some cases when someone is talking about a visa he could actually mean a visa or he could mean an extension of stay and they are not the same thing. If we all know what the terminology should be, why can't we use it. Problem solved. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct except for Thai Elite Visa's which i believe are only issued in country .. but not sure if you can get have one issued outside at a Thai Embassy ..

If you consider using the correct terms to "express one's opinions in a way considered annoyingly pompous and dogmatic.", as opposed to removing confusion, then you sir are the fool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
