Help please. I've applied for a Non-O visa while in Australia with the plan to convert to a retirement visa with the banked money method. Does my wife apply for the same type visa then apply as a dependent to me in the Thai retirement visa application process? Many thanks in advance for clarification.

UPDATE FOR FUTURE READERS:

It appears you need a flat total amount of ฿500k in your bank account when you apply, the duration of which it has to be there varies by embassy. Thank you everyone for your swift assistance🙏🏻

Hey all, I have a bit of confusion around the ฿500k bank statement. I looked on the official website as well as other websites, and have called the consular department as well (they were confused too).

I will be using a sponsorship letter. They earn ฿490k every month. I’m not sure if there has to be just a flat sum of ฿500k sitting in an account with an image of that provided, or if over the course of 3 months there has been ฿500k in the account (different sites and people say different things).

Before I apply I’d like to know to save the cost of a rejected application.

Thanks all

This year I’m marrying a Thai woman. I plan in limit six months in Thailand and six months in the US what would be the best visa for me for Thailand and then Visa for my wife to come to the US and maybe work if she wants

I would love and appreciate to hear some recent success stories!

I’m a DTV holder, my spouse has a 90 day tourist visa expiring at the end of the month. Both US citizens.

My spouse is applying as a dependent.

I’m trying to figure out the best place to apply in SEA or close.

I’d like to know:

-your country of citizenship

-Where you applied

-application and approval date

-specifics on bank statements (how many months/if funds needed in account the whole time or can be transferred in the last month like it was when I applied in Taiwan)

Can anyone recommend an Agent in Bangkok to open a bank account?

Or is that only possible in Pattaya?

Thanks in advance.

Am having an issue w the e online visa portal. The personal page w the drop-down for birthday is not aligning w the summary page at the end of the application. So if I put my birthday as the 8th, on the summary page before confirming it says its the 9th.

Anyone having this issue? I emailed them but not sure what to do. I am attaching a note to my application to explain this.

Any ideas? I'm trying to apply for the DTV btw. I guess I should make sure the summary page is correct and hope that along w the explanation will be good. Id be super bummed to be rejected because of an apparent technical issue on the online portal.

I am a U.S. citizen, I will be marrying my Thai fiance sometime this year. Which should I do, retirement or marriage visa?

My husband is currently back home in the UK. He’s applying for and will receive a new passport.

He’s on a non-O “Thai wife” visa and has a valid multiple reentry permit.

Can someone help to guide what the steps might be upon entering Thailand with said new passport - any additional forms to fill at immigration or prior to arrival in Thailand?

Advise about transferring his visa over once in Thailand would also be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Hello, I entered Thailand on 6 September 2024 with French passport on a METV 6 month visa valid from 21 august 2024 - 16 February 2025. I did one 30 day visa extension just before the first 60 day deadline and then left the country twice on holiday. My latest entry stamp received at BKK airport now shows "admitted 13 January 2025 until 13 march 2025."

Should I want to stay the maximum amount of time that I can get out of this 6 month visa, must I leave the country before 16 February as shown on original visa or can I leave just prior to the latest stamp showing "until 13 march" giving me 60 more days? Could I also ask for 30 day extension just before the 13 march?

Thank you to clarify this for me.

Good day! Tried to search Google first, so be kind …

Please help me with the confusion - retirement visa for Thailand at the age of 50. Do I need to have some monthly income (1850 USD per Google)? Obviously, at 50 years old I won’t be collecting my social security yet … is there a way to get retirement visa based on bank accounts balance or any trick around? Can I pay myself that darn 1850USD each month?

I have funds (sold all the assets in US) but not at retirement age yet

Thanks for your advice

Ps. Not 50 yet, not for a long while BUT already looking into my options outside of the US and EU
