I obtained a 90-day none O E visa from the Thai consulate in the UK.
My question is, can this be converted into an extension to stay (retirement visa). I can prove I have sent over more than 65000 baht for more than the last year of international transfer from the UK to my Thai bank account. Is this enough for immigration or do you need the 800,0000 baht in the bank for 2 months prior to applying.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user with a 90-day Non-O visa from the Thai consulate in the UK is inquiring about converting the visa into a retirement extension. They mention having transferred over 65,000 baht monthly for the past year but are uncertain if this meets the requirement of having 800,000 baht in the bank for two months prior to applying. Responses from the community highlight that the immigration office's policy is critical, particularly as some have faced denials despite meeting the monthly transfer criteria. It is emphasized that contacting the local immigration office for guidance is the best course of action.
