Deke Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 What is currently considered to be the best place to apply for a non-immigrant visa based on retirement? By "best", I mean the consulate that has the least in the way of documentary requirements and is located in a regional city directly accessible by a budget airline from Bangkok.

ubonjoe Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Penang and Savannakhet Laos both want proof of retirement if using a the 800k baht in the bank option for proof of income. A income letter from your embassy will be accepted. If you are using proof of 65 baht income the letter by itself is enough. You use a fly/ride service to Mukdahan and then cross the bridge to Savannakhet from there. Nok Air offers the service via 3 airports. Phenom Penh is a possibility but there have been no recent reports for there to go by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deke Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 Thanks Joe. The page (on the main consular affairs website) that the website of the Penang consulate links to for visa information mentions the requirement for a criminal record check and health certificate. Do they not actually ask for this? Flying there would be easier than the fly-and-ride thing to Savannakhet I guess. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are general requirements that are not specific for Penang. They don't ask for a medical or background check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deke Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 In addition to my above question about the requirements at HCMC, would Yangon be a good option? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
