Has anyone gotten the non immigrant O visa for a husband and wife who are both non-thai citizens? I am wondering if the expectation is for husband and wife to share same bank account or is it required to have two bank accounts with 800k each?

Also I see some places say that a spouse of a non immigrant O visa holder can apply as a dependent and receive the non immigrant O visa as well. But I do not see that option on the online application.

Any insights on this will be greatly appreciated. Ive been trying to reach someone on phone with no success yet. Thank you.

So if the US Embassy no longer provides proof of 65K+/month how can you meet the income based criteria for retirement visa?

My apologies in advance if this question has already been asked… With a retirement, non-immigration O visa, is international health insurance required? I’m getting conflicting information From what I’m reading online and what I’m hearing from an immigration consultant. Online it says that I have to have it, but my consultant tells me no.

British passport , over 50.

I’m looking to fly to Thailand one way , get my 60 day at airport immigration then extend 30 at immigration . In the mean time I’ll deposit 800000 and wait for it to season 2 months @b4 I apply for my 12 month extension/ retirement visa.

Now the question is… I know I’ll need to book an “ exit” flight out of thailand in order to enter Thailand on a one way flight from uk….. but that exit flight will have “expired” when I apply for my retirement visa/ 12 month extension . Will it flag up at immigration whilst I’m applying….

How do the agents for a retirement visa magic 800k in your bank account and provide the visa !? Do they bribe immigration officers is it legit? I understand you could I invest the 800k making good intrest rather than it sat there doing zip.

This question is not for getting a visa into Thailand, but for a Thai person getting a tourist visa to the UK. She is working, 50 yrs old and will have a return flight.

Has anyone had any problems with a Thai friend getting into the UK for a holiday, and meet a friend?

Is the DTV visa linked to your specific passport and it’s number? I’m applying for DTV now but hope to get a new passport in a few months.

If I can apply normally with my current one and get approved do I need to transfer it to a new passport or how does it work?

It helps to answer interview in Thai 💕 officer will be nicer 💕 first applied last year in my home country, confident with bank account n yearly income but was met with (we don't have bilateral agreements with Thai govt so we don't know what to charge)

So to rush to get in I did ED visa which helped me to learn Thai เรียนภาษาไทย but 😩 unable to travel out. So I took the plunge & one way ticket out. Lesson learnt to check on bank holidays it was a grueling 18 days wait with just an appointment date. But I think 2 points to learn from this

1) Glad I got an agent, pay 100USD to save on headache, help me check on docs & even advise me retaking photo showing my ears and no teeth to prevent rejection. They help to push along documents.

2) Sometimes you just have to push through, follow instructions, be there early not on time, before office opens (everyone had appointment at 9.30am) what a cute arrangement 😂 just persevere. Be prepared for the weather (correction : thks for helping below, so I be sure not to miss deadline reporting save fine money 😊)
