Don't let the door hit your backside on the way out, bub. Baa.

I'll take morality over a quick tongue any day. Shocking that others would feel different. But then again, America is the land of snake oil. Plenty of folks still buyin' it.

Not enough posts yet. But I do want it.

That's not quite right. If I remember correctly the letter merely asks that Thai Immigration pleade recognize that its holder has a new passport and to please assist in transferring needed credentials and visas from the old passport to the new. It doesn't say "you need to get your visa transferred."

Or email the US embassy and ask them to send you one.

This. When I picked my kid's up at the embassy a letter was attached for this purpose. If I remember it was generic and had been photocopied.... so in theory if you asked nicely here you may find someone who has one and they can either give it to you or send you a copy of theirs to use.

Gotta apply it for a long time, if I recall correctly. I'm taking Canasone now for a fungus and the doctor said to keep at it for a month -- well beyond when it no longer seems to be visibly needed....

Renewal of US passport should be about 3-4 weeks max.

Plus 1 on Dr Niyom at Bumrungrad. He was very quick and thorough with the cold gun but it wasn't cheap. Maybe THB 5k-6k for about 10 minutes of his time and gun action? It'd like to find a cheaper option TBH.

This article is ridiculous. If you want to know what actually happened in Sweden, you can start here: https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/explained-global/sweden-covid-strategy-cases-deaths-explained-8087693/

@TaoNow Thanks. What specific content should go into the affidavit, if your opinion?

Thanks all - any tips on what to include in an affidavit at US Embassy? Yes, it's for transfering registration of a used motorcycle. I have a one year lease, plus valid work permit/Non B visa.

Hard to tell from their website.

I'm looking for a used bike but don't want to deal with the hassle of the paperwork myself. I know shops with new bikes will handle this for you... what about any good used shops that can do the same? Is it possible? I'm up near Chatuchak/Mo Chit area.

No homework needed. It's not really something of serious interest - just curiosity.

Any carts in BKK beside KSR?

I keep seeing conflicting reports on this and I just don't really get it. I always thought that being born in Thailand was not sufficient to qualify for Thai citizenship - one or more parents must also be Thai citizens. Did I have it wrong? Both my kids were born here, but mom and dad aren't Thai and haven't lived in Thailand beyond the last year or two.

It's all the stuff you already provided for with your I-130 application, plus evidence for everything you will upload for your immigration visa application itself, such as police reports, employment records, salary histories, more evidence of relationship, etc. It will all be explained when you apply for the visa, which requires a visa interview. Not sure when you applied for the I-130 but can take 10-12 months for that first step to be approved.

Flu shots are annual. Rabies shots are 3x. DTAP and PVC are all multiple shots.

Very helpful Tod. I'm in country now on a Non-B for work (work permit). Can this be converted to Non-O retirement in country as well?

Dear helpful community members – I'm considering a retirement visa this year when I turn 50. I have two children (non-Thai) below age 10 who live wth me. Both were born in Thailand so I already have birth certificates in Thai and English. Am I able to add both to my visa as dependents? If so, when would I apply on their behalf? I will apply abroad for my Non O. Do I apply for Non-Os for each them at the same time I apply for my own Non-O? Does the 800K seasoning requirement change if you have dependents? Thx.

OP here, thanks everyone for helping to resolve this. The simplest solution is the 800K deposit for sure. So last question from me: If I turn 50 on, say, December 1 would the correct sequence be: 1. Transfer the 800K into my Thai bank account just before October 1. 2. Exit Thailand - late October 3. Apply Non-O Retirement 90 day visa from abroad - early November 4. Re-enter Thailand with Non-O Retirement 90 day visa. - mid November 5. Apply to extend Non-O for 1 year with bank details - December 1 or December 2. Does this sound workable?

Thanks - US. Don't think the embassy does, but perhaps someone here can confirm.

Good people of this community, help me understand the Retirement visa extension requirement with regard to the monthly income piece. I'm in-country already with a bank account in my name. I turn 50 in a few months. I can transfer in the required 800K at any time to start the seasoning process. My questions are about the 65K income requirement: 1. Is 65K actually required to be brought in each month - or is that only if you've dipped into the 800K? 2. If it is required, what forms of documentation are needed to prove the source of the 65K is a monthly pension vs, say, just moving over more of your foreign savings each month? 3. In the same vein, when is the embassy letter about the 65K monthly pension actually necessary? Is it optional if you have 800K in the bank? 4. Lastly, back to #2, if you are just moving more of your foreign savings each month, what's to stop a "retiree" from moving new income earned abroad over? It seems to me this would be an attractive option for digital nomad types who are 50+. Quietly, of course. I'm sure these have been asked a thousand times - thanks in advance.
