ok
Fyi if they didn't require the 800,000 i could have saved a bundle ????Many thanks for the professional advise from all people who posted.
For information I am now committed to going to Singapore on Monday to get a type O visa
I checked on the Royal Thai Embassy visa info page
https://www.thaiembassy.sg/visa-matters-/-consular/types-of-visa
The type O visas are as follows
- Non-Immigrant Visa-O-A (Long Stay)
- Non-Immigrant Visa-O-X (Long Stay)
- Non-Immigrant Visa-O (Thai Spouse)
I am not married, so what type of type O do I need to facilitate a retirement visa when I return to Thailand.
Once again any advise appreciated
Regards

Hello Dr. Jack
Many thanks for your reply, appreciated

Hello
I saw a headline in https://thethaiger.com/
https://thethaiger.com/news/national/paypal-will-still-work-in-thailand-until-the-end-of-the-year
As I understand Paypal was to revise its services on March 7th
From the Thaitiger report this has beto the end of the year
Is that as I wish to use paypay soon to send money to a overseas vendor?
Thanks

Hello
I am on a retirement visa and am moving from Phitsanulok where I obtained my visa to Chiang Rai.
Could someone advise the address of the immigration office in Chiang Rai.
Is the process of changing my address for visa purposes from Phitsanulok to Chaing Rai complicated?
thanks in advance

Hello
Many thanks for your feedback to date, very interesting and very useful.
Thaivisa forum is really great, this kind of advise would cost me about 20, 000 Baht with a good Law firm.
Any other input appreciated

Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong forum, it is partly related to Thaivisa.
I have lived in Thailand for about 35 years using work permits etc, now on a retirement visa.
I have been with my girlfriend for 35 years and have not got married as I heard she will lose rights to own land / property.
My girlfriend has a house and small fruit farm in her name presently.
My first question is what rights do Thai ladies have when they marry a foreigner.
Can they keep ownership of land and houses they have owned prior to getting married?
Can they own new property or land after they are married.
All land and houses prior to and following getting married would be 100% in her name
Finally is it straightforward to change my visa from retirement to married visa?
For info I am 67 not married before
Any advice most appreciated.
Thanks in advance

hello
Noted there are a number of topics on TM 30 but could not find a clear enough answer to my question.
I have had a Retirement Visa for a number of years.
I stay with my girlfriend in her house which she owns.
I have never submitted a TM 30
On my last Retirement Visa extension I had to add a copy of my girlfriends ID card.
My question : Is a TM 30 still a requirement if you have a retirement visa
Just one more question, should I get a yellow book?
Thanks in advance
-
On the topic of yellow Book
I am in Thailand on a Retirement Visa, I live with my girlfriend in the house she owns, she has a Blue Book.
What are the advantages of having a Yellow Book?

Hello
many thanks for your useful advise.
So no need to have countersign which is a relief.
Just one more question, do I need to supply 2 new photographs signed for true likeness at the back.
If so is there a service in Bangkok who is prepared to do this for me for a fee?
Regards

Hello BritManToo
Thanks for your prompt reply, sounds good.
If possible could you please expand on how you are aware of no having to have a counter signatory. Please bear in mind rules seem to get stricter every year and also these rules maybe open to interpretation from the passport staff.
As I have to go visit Bangkok to apply it would put my mind at rest if I could verify this by seeing it in writing at a government site or could email the passport place in Bangkok.
One again thanks

hello, help appreciated, I have posted this here as it is thai visa related.
I have a British passport having only a few pages empty. I need a 2nd passport to manage my work (Iraq) and home (Thailand) visas.
The application form ( section 10 ) needs to be filled out by a counter signatory, must be a professional person and must have known me for
two years. I do not know any professional person for two years.
I have had a second passport before, it expired.
I thought if I contacted the place in Bangkok who accepts applications for British passports they might be able to assist.
So does anyone know the contact details ( email preferred) that I can discuss this with.
Or any other ideas that might assist me.
Thanks in advance

Hello
Question on behalf of a friend of mine
He works 28/28 and returns to Thailand for his time off.
He is concerned that he will exceed the allowed number of tourist visas in a year.
Is there a one year ( re-new able if possible) visa for him with multiple entry.
I have tried to do some research myself but can only find the OA visa which is only for people above 50
Thanks in advance

Hello
Help appreciated.
I have read through several posts which indicate a retirement visa early from 30 to 45 days.
I will renewing mine next week early.
Is there a Thailand Government Website or document that gives the official number of days allowed.
Just in case I need a good place to refer to.
Thanks in advance
Cheers

Hello
My retirement visa ends 10th January 2019.
I have to go out of Thailand on a business trip and be away on that date but will arrive a week later.
I believe a retirement visa can be re-newed 15 days either side of the end date, is that true?
Will Thai immigration in Bangkok allow me to enter on my expired retirement visa if it is within the 15 day period.
Thanks in advance
Cheers
