Hello group.

I used to be in None Immigrant Visa "O", since my son granted a None-immigrant Visa" B". My None Immigrant Visa" O" is expired in March 2020. Unable for extension due to COVID-19, boarders remain closed in my home country Malaysia and Thailand. I currently in amnesty, safe till 26th September. And I unable to have the extension of None "O" because my son got a new job and just granted a new visa for 3 months None " B"( based on business) .I have to wait for 3 months time, when my son's granted an one year None " B" , I just able to get None Immigrant Visa"O" from my son's None Immigrant Visa" B" ( One year) to be granted in November 2020.

An officer from local immigration suggested to get a Retirement Visa for myself before amnesty ended .My questions as below:

1)Can I apply for Retirement Visa in Thailand, without leaving country? I will be reached 50 year old end of this month.

2)Can the $800,000 Baht to be deposited to my Thai bank account by local bank transfer? ( or funds must came from overseas?)

Many thanks .

okay, a 'retirement visa' IS a non-O visa, the O means OTHER and it's issued for many reasons..

You get the 90 day Non-O visa and then when you have 30 days or less you go back and apply for the year extension based on being over 50 (retirement) by showing you have 800K baht in a thai bank account in your name only for 2 months before you apply for the extension.

There is no need to show the money came from overseas when you apply for the yearly extension of stay.

you HAD a Non-O (that is now expired putting you on amnesty) so you can just apply for the yearly extension..
