Hi everybody; I have applied in usa for a 90 day non-o retirement Visa. My first question is regarding timing. If I register my address upon arrival (TM-30) and then open up Thai bank account and deposit ฿800,000 I have to let the funds “season” for 60 days.  then I’m told i can apply for a one year extension. But I read somewhere that you’re supposed to apply 30-

45 days before your 90 day visa expires. Is this true? And if so, what do I do about it? The math doesn’t work.

Second question is regarding transferring funds. If I use Wise, will it show up as a foreign transfer? Is this important? 

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time and trouble to respond.



So I basically have a non-B visa with work permit. I reminded my company a month in advance that I need the documents to extend my visa. But they delayed a lot as I am the first foreigner in the company and they do not know the procedures. I now have about a week to get my visa extended.

They are still trying to go through the normal route without a visa agent and I think they have the necessary documentations already. But they said that if the immigration officer requests for any additional documents, we may need to pay for a visa agent. They company expects me to pay for this. Is this normal? I feel like I would be paying for their mistakes as I reminded them a month in advance.

And what are the documents that are needed? Is it possible to get the visa extended within a week? O

It reads to get a bank account you need a retirement visa, but to get a visa, you need a bank account.

What do you apply for first.

And if you’re out of the country for more than 90 days, is your visa revoked as you can’t check in with immigration?

Hi

Is dental work a medical treatment to satisfy the immigration for a

'non immigration O Visa' ? Or medical O Visa

I've had dental work in Thailand already this year and returning in January and another one or two times in 2026

🇹🇭🙏🏻🇬🇧

Again, many thanks for all the advice on my last 2 enquiries...l applied for my type 'O' visa on Tuesday and was approved today, l have also done my TDAC and will arrive Monday. Both procedures were quite daunting for the first time, but l got it done and am very grateful for all the responses. Cheers...

Ok I’m coming to Bangkok on the 22nd or so of October for 3+ weeks, have a plan of sorts - I’m coming on the standard tourist visa as I plan to leave on the 16th of November. I want to find a decent 1bed 1 bath place near 24 if possible. I don’t work, I’m a day trader/swing trader so I make fast cash and then chill. Is the ability to show the Thai visa agency’s say an $80k USD realized gain in my account a good enough piece to get either a retirement visa (50 in December) or a remote worker visa? If not, if my plan is to come for a few weeks then back to US for a month or two then another month in Bangkok and so on doable 100% on the free tourist entry each time?

Have to do it like this till my son is 18 and graduated since he wants to remain in the US and I have a desire to not be in the US anymore 😆

TIA

Hello. Can I sign up to TrueMoney while being in Thailand on a DTV visa? I want to get YouTube Premium at the reduced Thai price and TrueMoney is one of YouTube’s payment options. Would love to have a proper account set up but multiple attemps in the past did not work.

Anybody have experience with Thai Embassy in either Kuala Lumpur or Penang?

Will make my application in about two weeks but one is probably better than the other… does Penang (since August) still do walk ins?
