Hello. I am enquiring if applying for a retirement visa I need to have documents translated. I am been told this in Hua Sai. Which is 64km south of Nakhon siThammarat. Also the Krungtai bank told me they can only open accounts for people with jobs. All appears strange to me.

Any advice appreciated

Hi everyone,

Applying for soft power DTV from Indonesia.

- Sep 2: submitted all documents

- Sep 11: got requested to add proof of current location and sent a hotel booking (until Sept 11) and selfie with receipt (taken Sept 11) on the same day

In hindsight, I believe it would have been better to show another hotel booking for the next fews days. Was wondering if anybody knows if it's possible to add additional documents after already submitting via the online portal.

Thank you,

Hello everyone.

Does anyone have a list of requirements for a one-year retirement visa extension from immigration in Khon Kaen?

I'm particularly interested in how old the bank letter and the 12-month bank statement can be, and whether I can split the monthly payments (65k) into two transfers (e.g., two x 32.5k).

I'm asking here because I don't like driving long distances. I have to drive near 2 hours to the new immigration office.

TIA

Hi! I have a question I will be travelling in thailand from 16/09-09/12 with a tourist visa (90 days). However, this visa got approved to early and its validity period is from 02/09-30/11 so I think I can only legally stay untill the 30th of November. Does anybody have any idea of how I can fix this? And stay untill the 9th of December. The thai ambassy in my country isn’t much of a help.

Looking at other post to get a extension on non o retirement visa you apply from home country. Fly to Thailand then after about two and a half months go to immigration and look for 1 year extension cost 1900 ฿.

I have bank account.

I have funds 800k฿.

I have accomodation sorted.

Yellow book and non Thai id.

I am semi retired. Irish.

But next year I will only be in Thailand month of February 2026 and July and August (60 days) and maybe a month in November 2026.

If I lodge 800k in to my account now.

Is there any way I can apply for non o and work it into that time frame. Or do I have to be in Thailand longer. Also can the visa or extension be multi entry.

I am trying to avoid using the visa exempt if I can as I travel more often.

All help appreciated.
