....and ask for a conversion to a non-immigrant visa. This will cost 2,000 baht. They might also gve you an extension of stay right away, for an extra 1,900 baht...

Thanks, Mario, but this raises a couple questions:
1. When you mention "non-immigrant visa", is this what I'm calling the retirement visa, same-same?
2. Since I am on my 30-day entry visa, it appears I would not be able to get the retirement in time, without going out of country first.

Thanks, Terence

PS: Maybe you understand now why I want to work with a professional to help me in this.

You did not renew your visa, you received a one year extension of stay based on retirement.

You are correct. But it was easy....

I am preparing to apply for a retirement visa, am a 64 y.o. American. I am now on a 30-day, issued at airport, on arrival, visa.

A travel agent who's been very reliable in the past tells me that NOW, I must show funds in bank and that the letter from the US embassy showing monthly income is not sufficient, on its own.

Can anyone advise if this or is not true?

Also, looking for someone to help me with this process, for a fee....

Yes, it may be easy, but I'd rather eat sand than labor over the rules/regs/etc of this. I would prefer to deal with someone who can tell me EVERYTHING I need, if I need to leave country, etc.

Any recommendations gladly and gratefully received.

Thanks,

Terence

As said you are not entitled to a VOA. You would get a Visa Exempt Entry.
Without a Visa you might not be allowed on the flight.
You need a Visa.
A single entry will give 60 days and can be extended by a further 30 days. For 6 months a double entry Tourist Visa will fit the bill.

Thanks to both of you.

LB, if I understand you I need to go to a Thai consulate and get this single entry or double entry visa?

You can buy it online in Thailand for 80 Baht. Go to http://www.google.co.th/ (use the Thai language option) and then use this search string: Tom's of Maine toothpaste

Thanks for your input, Xircal, but which link on the Google results are you referring to where I can buy for 80 baht?
