So let me get this right. If i apply for a non o in my home country, i can come and open a bank account in thailand. I probably will not follow thru with Retirement extension at this time, but i am guessing my bank account will be ok to continue. Unlike my old bbk account, which i had to close. Will probably choose kasikorn this time.

Has anybody changed their Non-Immigrant O Visa based on retirement To a Non-Immigrant O Visa based on marriage?

Is it as easy as waiting for my retirement visa to run out then apply for the marriage visa?

TIA

RENEWED PASSPORT - MID EXTENSION - 90 DAY SIGN ON/VISA RE-ENTRY PERMIT

I am based in Bangkok hold a Marriage Visa (extension) and re-entry permit in my original Passport - I recently returned from a 3 week UK and completed my TM30 and TDAC on my passport - however I have now obtained a new UK Passport.

When completing my TM47 I believe that I complete it with my new Passport number/details but take my old passport with me and provide copies of both?

Do I have to submit a new TM30 to reflect my new passport number or do I submit the one raised on my re-entry to Thailand?

Do I get my Visa and re-entry permit transferred to my new passport now or wait until I am due to submit my next annual extension (May/June).

Thank you in advance

Good morning. My six month visa ends on Jan 4th. I arrive back from the UK on Jan 1st. I now wish to extend my o visa to a retirement visa, but because of the long bank holidays, I cannot extend until Jan 5th.

a/ am I still allowed to extend? b/ do I have to pay a fine, and if so, how much?

New Rules…

Let me get this straight.... after reading many articles on the lack of tourist they're once again changed the rules...... so, if I come to Thailand on the standard 60-day visa and then extended 30 days and during that time, I spend $8,000/$10,000 enjoying myself and at the same time contributing to Thailand's tourism industry........ and then I decide I'd like to spend another 60 or 90 days having a great time and contributing even more $$$ to the local area and I will be refused?

Ummmm .........

Just a quick heads up for those applying for the Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV ) aware . I have just received my approval letter from the Thai embassy in London today (14 November ) .

For those interested in timescales I applied on the 27 October with an arrival date into BKK of the 26 November . (Somehow I managed to fill in the application form with no referrals back to me for correction Perhaps I’m an over thinker ! )

I did ask previously wait times for this visa on these forums but nobody was able to give me any answers . So just a bit of real time experience information for those interested .

When I go to Immigration following the two months maturation of funds in the bank, how long does it take to get the 12 month stamp which will then allow me to leave Thailand and return home?

I am going to have a lump sum in the UK that I need to invest. Does anyone in the UK have advice? I understand a little about the double tax treaty but not enough. I will maintain a UK bank account plus a wise account and maybe keep premium bonds.
