Can't find a search function on the thread, so

 

I may need to aquire a visa at Penang in July.

Either non O for retirement or Multiple entry TV.

Anyone done either in Penang recently?

Any problems?

Do I need proof of funds ( Didn't need such in NZ )? If yes, how much would suffice?

Obviously non O would be better, but I'll take a METV is that is all I can get.

Do they require an address in LOS?

 

Thanks in advance.

METV no chance at all and a non-O will need money on the bank, if possible at all.

As someone else explained no chance of a METV, which will only likely be issued in your home county.

Possibly a multi-entry Non O, but only based on marriage to a Thai

I doubt that you will get a multi entry based on retirement anywhere in South East Asia.

Maybe a 90 day Non O which you will have to convert to an annual retirement extension in Thailand with the funds available in a local bank account in your name for 60 days seasoning

if it is your first extension.

Or possibly if you can show a monthly pension coming in from your home country each month.

The rules have been tightened worldwide.

Thanks.

Hopefully a single non O then. Otherwise a tourist visa. I'll be going to the UK in October so a TV would get me near enough, but a Non O would be better.
