Can I apply for a Non-O visa in Thailand after entering on a 45-day visa exemption from the UK?

My husband his non o Thai wife, ran out while he was in the UK we have tried to apply online with the Thai Embassy in London. It is quite difficult we don't have enough money in a UK bank account to prove his income . So we flew back to Thailand on September 22 and got a 30 day stamp . So in Thailand he has 400k in Thai bank over 3 months already we went to apply for non o visa at the immigration 10 day after we got into Thailand and make sure he still has 15 day left for 30 day stamp and give them all the documents same as applying for non o 1 year visa . Then we got non o for 90 days without flying out of Thailand and continued to apply for a 1 year Thai wife visa . That is our experience and sorry for my broken English. Hope that can help for other to decide where to apply for non o visa.

There is no great difficulty in showing up visa exempt (on the free 45 day stamp) getting your shit together, opening a bank account, getting the 800K baht into it and then applying for the 90 day Non-O visa in country at the immigration office for 2000baht when you have 15 days or more left on your current entry stamp or the 30 day extension you can get from it

The application goes under review for 2 weeks then you go back and get the new Non-O visa and 90 day stamp inked in.

After that you wait until your funds are seasoned in your bank account for 2 months and you have 30 days or less left on your stamp, then you apply for the year extension for 1900baht. It will be issued on the spot.

IF you are sensitive to the time constraints, get in, get your act together it can be done with time to spare.

You can use Form TM 87 to apply for non-imm retirement. I am currently doing this and will receive it on /2023. Here is the letter from Immigration Division 1 Bangkok. "dear sir,

We would like to inform you about changing visa you can visit the attached link for more information Live in BKK please contact Bangkok immigration. Live in upcountry please contact immigration where you live." TM87 is the form for the Change of Visa Exempt to Non O-IMM and Form TM86 is for those who want to change their tourist Visa.

Assume you will apply for non o retirement ? Better do it online with Thai embassy in London. Despite some comments above, it’s a straightforward process. Once you land in Thailand, you then have 90 days to get your ducks in a row with bank accounts and seasoning of the 800k baht for the one year extension.

45 day visa exemption ends March 31st. You can then apply for aa 30 day extension. The TV can be applied for online in the UK but they require so many criteria to be met these days. But many do it so..

far easier to apply for the visa in your home country
