What paperwork do I need to apply for a Non-O visa from London as an expat over 50?

George *******

He says his partner, in these ridiculous woke days you don't say wife or husband, you refer to your other half as your partner. Partner does not mean you are married. You can have a business partner, but you probably wouldn't be married to them. Ridiculous world we live in these days, full of woke bullshit.

What is the best health insurance for a 79-year-old on a Non-O Retirement Visa in Thailand?

George *******

Once you get past eighty years, if your healthy and lucky enough to get to that age, if you got seriously ill with say cancer or CardioVascular disease no amount of medical intervention is going to be much use, only prolong your suffering. Live happy and die happy.

Don't try applying using DiscoverThainature at London's Embassy, from what I've heard it will not be accepted. That came from one of the Thai businesses that runs these seminars.

Do I need a Thai Driving License if I have a valid UK license and IDP for my retirement visa?

George *******

I drove in Thailand for eleven years and when I was stopped on motorbike for roadside checks, produced my old British tatty bit of paper. Only ever once asked why I didn't have a photo id type licence, but nothing said.

According to this link when you open the PDF. Second paragraph states any income earned. If that is correct then a state pension, which is not earned, but as in the UK is an entitlement surely this isn't classed as earned income?
