I have had to put down deposits for 1 months rental before.... sometimes not. I have always had to pay the rental up front though. Perhaps it is to cover electricity and water in case you do a runner. It seems to be a policy that varies from place to place.

What makes you think I have to have the last word...... Thread Closed!

You cannot obtain a retirement visa from where-ever in the world. Only your home country.

And so can you and you will still be wrong. But suit yourself. I shall go and feed my dog, it is a cat actually, but has 4 legs and a tail so I can call it a dog if I wish and appear dumb.

Apollo 13

And in Australia too I guess!.

Well, perhaps an option for those who voted MU.

Public Enemies.

Empire of the Sun.

You can vote again, a different selection or null.

It is something I have often, perhaps the price was good if a double portion. Another thing I like is fried kale with crispy pork. Have to get my veggies!

I just checked mine.... it says 'Extension of Stay...is permitted up to...xxx' Trvlr you have put a lot of effort into arguing, you remind me of sybarite (arno/cousin and more recently geno). Nevertheless you cannot get a retirement visa in Jomtiem, but can in the USA. The requirements are not quite exactly matching, you would need a police report to obtain the visa. I was confused in your OP whether you were discussing a Visa or Extension........ Getting the name right just helps people get the answers right too. In matters like this I think it is important to get the right answers. Are you planning to retire to LOS?

Time you were 'on the road'...

Stir-fried morning glory, 90 baht seems a bit more than I am used to paying. Was there meat in it? You should give us a review of the 'Flying Vegetable', I am thinking of the one on Klang.

Some are teachers and they aren't doing too well. Pattaya One

Mars Attacks

30 baht.....per litre. Been that for a long time.

Karl Malden

I am not sure what your point is. Are you suggesting that families do not come to Pattaya.

I have not heard this... and I read Thai Visa where rumours, even unlikely baseless ones, abound. Some discussion of UK tax issues and Expats losing the tax free allowance. Like others, I have heard that a few country's Embassy, will issue a guarantee letter quite readily without any verification, and hence one could be suspicious of the claimed pension. That would irritate the Thai immigration I am sure. But you keep saying 'VISA' and emphasising that, so do you mean a Non-Imm-OA, retirement, obtained in your home country? Or actually the retirement 'extension' we can obtain in Thailand.

The one obvious difference is the Group you are in. What is 'Major Participant'...... what differences are there in the settings for this Group? There may even be errors in that Group, or errors not seen when you are 'elsewhere' I suggest MM put you back into another group,Particpant, or Member or whatever, and see how that looks.

I just forwarded that to an older friend in Australia...... The clock is ticking now to see when it will come back to me from someone else!
