    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

     

    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

    I am in Thailand now and believe I need to leave Thailand to  get a Type O visa

    Where is the best place to get one, Singapore ( preferred ), Malaysia, Cambodia ???

    What documents are needed?? they seem to vary embassy to embassy.

    Time required to get on.

    Any advise most appreciated.

  3. 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

     

     

     

  4. 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

  5. thanks for the info

    Checking out San Marino Residences

     

    I am surprised two of the places are full already

    Thanks

  7. 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

     

  8. 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

  9. 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

     

     

  10. 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

  11. 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
