Thailand Visa Question No. 084/24: Thai Marriage or Retired?
I find the visa system in Thailand extremely complicated. Thanks to the people who keep explaining it, but I still find it difficult. Now I have met a very nice, sweet, beautiful Thai lady, and have visited her twice this year (in January on a 60 day tourist visa, because I stayed 33 days, and flew on to Australia). And in March (a month later, back from Australia) as a tourist (less than 30 days). So far so good.

Thailand Visa question No. 028/23: Switching from Thai marriage to retired with visa support letter?
I have been living in Thailand for 3 years now on a marriage visa and extension.

Thailand Visa question No. 002/22: Increased financial requirements for a retirement visa?
I also want to emigrate to Thailand in 1 year, so I am very interested in the information of the visa requirements for a retirement visa. Now I recently saw on the site of the Thai embassy in The Hague that the monthly income or your annual bank deposit has increased considerably (for example, from 65.000 baht to 80.000 baht per month).
An English friend of mine officially divorced his Thai wife two months ago. He has had an O visa based on marriage for several years with 400.000 Thb in the bank. This visa runs until March next year. Today he went to the immigration in Nakhon Sawan to ask what documents he needs to convert his visa to an O-visa based on retirement at the next extension. However, he was told that he was not allowed to be in Thailand now because he was divorced and therefore no longer had a valid visa.
I am staying here on a retirement extension for a long time and cannot prove monthly income. For that reason I use the 800.000 thb scheme that I have had on an account for years. That account can only be in your own name and not an and / or, and I'm starting to have trouble with that, namely if I die it is virtually impossible for third parties to remove this amount from the account.

Thailand visa question No. 086/20: Borderrun
I have a Non O multiple entry visa, just like last year. Normally I have to do a border run, around May 28, to Myanmar, via Kantanaburi. Is it true that I don't have to do anything until the end of July? Just wait for new regulation from the government, without risking an “overstay” fine?
Thailand visa question No. 085/20: What happens after my period of stay if I am not in Thailand?
Questioner: Arie I was in Belgium when Thailand was locked down. On the one hand, a blessing in disguise, I can take care of my old parents here so that they don't have to leave the house. On the other hand, I still pay the monthly rent (which has been adjusted in the meantime), but it ends on August 1. My retirement visa expires at the end of May.
