# browsed "#visaexemptonarrival30days" but didn't quite see exactly what I was looking for.
* Canadian citizen, will enter on visa exempt. over 50 yrs, would like to stay for 2-3 months perhaps.
* upon arrival, can i apply for 90 days Non-Imm 'O?' If so, do I need to show proof of 800K in thai bank as part of this application ? OR is the 800K proof only when applying for the extended stays 1yr based on over 50yrs. (this 2nd part, the 1 yr extension I may or may not wish to apply for)
TLDR : Answer Summary
A Canadian Citizen entering Thailand on a visa-exempt basis can stay for 30 days initially but may apply for a 90-day Non-Imm 'O' visa based on age (over 50). This application requires proof of funds: either 800K THB in a Thai bank account or an affidavit of income from the Canadian embassy. Alternatively, a tourist visa can be obtained for a stay of up to 90 days (60 days plus a 30-day extension). The option of a one-year extension based on over-50 status also requires financial proof.
