Question for Non-Imm O-X holder (I am aware of the disadvantages of the O-X Visa)who hold Visa already for longer period:

The condition of holding funds on a bank account, according to the consulate’s web page, are:

“• The amount of money under (X3) and (X4) must rest in the bank account for at least 1 year before it can be withdrawn. Within the following year, at least 1.5 million THB must remain in the account. The amount may only be spent in Thailand.”

As it says “Within the following YEAR, at least 1.5 million THB must remain…. and not YEARS, does this mean that, after 2 years I could fall below THB 1.5 million?

Wouldn’t make sense but it mentions year and not years.

I have a little more than a year on my PE visa and am considering the extension (its grandfathered so I get the old prices)

But since I got this visa I have come down with a rare blood disease that requires lifelong medical attention and I am wondering what the deal is with a medical visa and would it apply to my situation.

What are the medical visa requirements?

e.g. criteria, money in the bank etc..

I also qualify for retirement visa and potentially marriage visa.

Good morning. I have a new job and will travel to Laos this weekend to get a new Non-B visa. My current visa extension expires this Monday, June 30th, which is the same day that I'll leave Thailand and enter Laos. My question is, should my old work cancel the visa before I travel? I understand there is a cancellation stamp that I might need to have, before applying for the new visa. Thanks.

I am just at the start of the process to apply for me and my wife's LTR visa under the "retiree over 50yrs with >= $80000 annual income" category and ran into a few challenges on the Thai embassy's website here in the US.

I filled out the online application but at the end it wanted me to upload an Authotizatioj letter from BOI (the Thailand Boatd of Investment).

So then I logged into their website and they want me to upload a bunch of documents some of which are mentioned as (To be requested on a case by case basis) e.g., the police clearance certificates.

My question is if i don't submit these in the first go, will they reject my application? Or shall I submit the FBI clearance asking with the rest of it?

Has anyone actually successful been through the LTR process?

I'm in Cakifornia and trying to do this all online before we fly in sometime in late October 2025.

Any advice will be appreciated

In regards to the transaction limit on a KBank bank savings account. I've just spoken the KBank they confirm the single transaction limit is 50kthb with the total daily limit also 50kthb. He said there is a project at the bank to apply face recognition to the account at which time they will allow higher amounts.

Also if you have a debit card on your account you can make purchases up to 500kthb depending on your credit with the bank, so can make purchases at shops and the like. This seems high to me but I asked him twice. Cash from a ATM is 30kthb a limit of the cash machine. He also said you could make transfers on the card up to 1m. Really?

Applying for a Non-O visa in Thailand. Immigration gave me a list of things and I'd like to learn about 2 of them.

1. Criminal Record- how to get this?

2. Certificate of health- how to get this?

I'm currently living in Thailand and I'll be converting from a visa exemption to Non-O.
