I have a Thai daughter and I plan on applying for the 1 year Non O visa next year. Does the 400,000 baht need to be in a Thai bank account or can it be a US bank account or Wise?? Also how am I supposed to get a Thai bank account if I don’t have the visa yet? Has anyone tried opening the bank account with just a birth certificate of their child? I’m getting mixed info on the internet so I just need more clarification. Thank you!

Hi. I need to do DTV 90day report beginning of January for me, my husband and two babies. We are staying near central world in Bangkok. I was told by an agent that it takes about 2-4 hours depending on how many people are there. The address I was given is like 55 minutes from where I stay by car. I was also told my husband and I have to go but two babies don’t have to we just need to explain why they aren’t there. Can anyone help confirm if any of this is true or false info. I would prefer to leave my babies at home if it’s possible. Or is there an agent who can go and do it for my family?

Has anyone experienced having their bank account transfered an amount that completes the required 12kUSD less than 3 months before applying? Any issues? (thinking on applying from Vietnam or HK)

Hi everyone, I have a DTV and I’m going to leave Thailand for the first time. Before leaving, do I need to go to immigration to apply for a re-entry permit? Or do you just exit normally like a tourist?

Hi there. Apologies if it’s a repeat. Going with my children to renew their education visas tomorrow with all documents from school. Do I only need to fill in a TM7 for each kid? I have 90 day reports and TM30 for each. Thanks

Hello all, I will be applying for a non immigrant O-A visa soon. But there is an issue apart from the visa procedures that I am not so sure about. I would be very greatful if you could enlighten me please.

After I get the visa, do I need to have an onward ticket out of Thailand in order to board the plane to Kingdom and is an onward ticket out of Thailand is also required for entry into Kingdom by immigration. Thank you all for your attention.

I’m currently working toward the annual renewable Non-Immigrant O (Retirement Extension). I’m already in Thailand, have opened a bank account in my name, deposited the 800,000 THB to begin the seasoning period, and am now dealing with the usual red tape regarding proof of residence.

My question is: What exactly is required for medical insurance?

Is insurance required for this visa type, or is it only mandatory for the Non-Immigrant O-A (Long Stay) visa?

I’m getting conflicting information from online sources, so I’d really appreciate clarification from anyone who has gone through the process.

Does anyone know how to fix this? Please advise. I don't know where to start. Is this just a name problem?🥲🥺
