Hey all, I’m heading to Hanoi on Monday and was hoping to find out if bank statements can be a few days old by the time I submit them? I prepared all my documents last night hoping that I can send them in soon after I land in Vietnam.

Appreciate any help, thank you ~

Good morning,

So i finally got my non-o retirement visa at Jomtien, based on 800k in the bank.

It says admitted on 10 november 2025 and valid until 7 february 2026.

They said I can apply for the one year extension after the 7th of january.

My last bankbook update is from the 28 october. This is an account i use only for the visa.

At what dates should i do bank moves and updates so the 800k appears correctly for the extension in January. I am afraid to screw it up...

Hope i am clear. Thanks

I am currently on a non-O work visa as a teacher, and I have resigned. My visa  well go back to tourist and I am leaving the country in December and returning on a tourist visa. My plan is to move out of the country in May. Here is my question. I will be traveling  to Sri Lanka just shy of my 60 days back in the country. Then I will be back in the country until 11 April and out for a few days in Cambodia, then back here for about 30 days  before I leave for good.  I am worried about the two entry rules. Should I do an extension on my first tourist visa right before I leave for Sri Lanka and then come back in on a 60 day visa, and then still be able to return from Cambodia on a tourist visa before I leave for good? I hope this makes sense. 😂

Does anyone know what documents are required for NON O Visa applying from the uk, Turning into retirement visa within Thailand.

Some advice states 3 months uk bank statements and a police clearance some are opposite.

Many thanks.

Does anyone have experience of the Jomtien office? I am aged over 60 and have a non O visa (issued in London) for single entry 90 days but can only stay for 56 days as I need to go back to London for some appointments. If I deposit the 800,000 funds in advance of arrival, and so have the funds on deposit for the necessary 2 months, what chance is there that the Jomtien office would accept an early application for a retirement extension after only 45-50 days after arrival.

However, since I currently plan to spend only 3-5 months per year in Thailand and never spend more than 60 days per visit, I think it will probably be simpler just to return on visa exemptions or another O visa when needed.

Okay here's a question. My friend is here in Thailand he's going to leave to Hong Kong. He is a UK resident and want to apply for a 90-day non-o Visa in Hong Kong. Is that fine or does he have to go back to the UK since that is where his passport is from?

TDAC address not on the form

Hi

Update, resolved. I deleted and re entered all the data and it worked.

—————————

Have tried 3 times to complete the address for my stay in Thailand but it’s greyed out. Completed and secured a number and have tried to update but the same problem.

Have they changed the process or just a failure of the system?

It’s my home so have documents but don’t want hassle on arrival
