Filling out visa. Non O. I have never encountered such a comprehensive form. Recently retired and waiting for 401 money to hit bank account. I know I need it to finish the form. When it goes in can I open bank account from the US Or do I have to wait till I arrive?

Hi everyone

I’m planning my soft power application from

London.

Can someone please provide me with the official link to apply online for the UK Thai embassy. I can’t seem to find it on Google

I will be applying for the soft power route with Muay Thai.

I assume I need the following is there anything I’m missing?

1. Muay Thai gym package details and receipt

2. 500k in saving

3. Passport - is this just the main page with my photo and passport details?

4. Proof of residency - if my bank account has my UK home address is this sufficient or should I add my drivers license or utility bill too?

5. Flight details? I’ve heard some people just needed to provide the flight number or do you need to provide proof of payment and confirmation etc?

Thank you so much

I would appreciate your advice.

For a Non-O retirement visa renewal, we are required to submit a bank passbook that has been updated on the day of the application.

Am I correct in understanding that this means we cannot place the THB 800,000 in a fixed deposit account, since it would not be possible to make, for example, a small deposit into that account and update the passbook on the day of the application?

Have you ever experienced asking for a certified bank statement from embassy? How did you solve it? I’m currently outside of Thailand for my DTV application, and the bank requires me to go in person to request the statement.

That makes it impossible for me.

I’m not sure what I should do?

Appreciate for any suggestion…😣😞

When applying for non-o visa what documentation is needed for proof of residency for both initial application and renewal. I stay at a small hotel in Chiang Mai, but will be applying from India.

Hi, one issue which I think no one faced yet. I went to bkk immigration for the 90 day report, I went on 91 or 92 day, as I heard we can go till 1 week after. Also, at this time I was going home on 96th or 97th day, and had my flight booked, so was staying in bkk in hotels for 1 day at a time as left my condo, I got tm 30 from the hotel I was staying at, and they give me the tm30 for 1 day, the immigration supervisor said they cannot do that( i understood they wanted atleast 8-9 days stay more), and asked me no problem you go back since your going home within 7 days after 90 days. Wasted my whole day, but i couldn't do anything after that and came back home. So question is what should I do now, and when I re enter or apply for driving next time can there be a problem, if yes what's the solution
