Lads thats great, thanks for the info, Keeniau96, that was my original intention on how I was gonna go about it but I left it to late to book and flights are expensive right now. Sun Spun I do like an adventure but I might just spend the extra money and get the tourist bus to penang, stay a day or 2 and get my visa if it still works out cheaper than the flights, i will see how i feel.

just one more thing, is it neccessary to go all the way to buttersworth or george town, is it not possible to just get it all done at the sadao border or somewhere near by

No...Must be a Consulate and closest one is in Penang.

She would have to marry him to use spouse provision/extension of stay.  She would only qualify for tourist visa currently.

Why not marry in Thailand...a fairly simple process and you will avoid having to do translation of marriage certificate into Thai, etc.

Retirement would be extension of stay, not a visa, and valid for one year stay and you must extend at same time each year for the nest year.  There is no requirement to leave after 3 months (only to report address to immigration).  To leave you must have re-entry permit as mentioned above.   I suspect Embassy will issue letter based on income proof but no direct knowledge of there requirements.

In the past, the procedure at the Australian Embassy has been (do not believe that it has changed).. you go to Embassy and complete a Statutory Declaration detailing your income info, sign in front of a Consular official,who then witnessed your signature and put the Consulate stamp on the Stat Dec. ... collects a few Baht from you and you are on your way.

ICAO Level 4 English has been required for all pilots worldwide flying across borders since since mid last year.
There was a mad rush at THAI and Bangkok Airways (and no doubt others) to bring many of their pilots up to this level. Many pilots were removed from rosters to fly nationally only.

At CATC there appears not to be much happening even today with English language training.

"....Around 1,000 student pilots graduate from the CATC each year. The Ministry of Transport will be pushing for an increase of facilities, as well as an expansion of curriculum and admission periods in order to accommodate an expected growing number of students... "

It would be interesting to know how many of the 1,000 got flight employment. I have met many CATC graduates and they have been on waiting list at various Thai airlines for some years.  What I hear frequently is that they only want to work in Thailand (need to be close to Mama) and not be overseas based, while jobs go begging in the Middle East.
