Before the new changes you could get a 5 year OX Visa with $150k in an Australian Bank acct. Now its 3mil Thb in a Thai Bank acct. Can you get a 5 year OX Visa in Thailand with 800k Thb? TIA

Answer summary

The current requirement for obtaining a 5-year OX Visa in Thailand is having 3 million Thai Baht in a Thai bank account. The 800,000 Baht amount can be used for a 90-day Non-O visa, but it does not meet the financial requirement for the OX Visa, which must be applied for outside Thailand. There are clarifications regarding local bank funds in certain embassies which might affect individual cases.

Sydney was the only consulate in the world that would issue that visa with locally banked money rather than money in Thailand.

Perhaps they still will. You’d have to ask them.

I know of a few people that applied for the OA and were emailed back and asked if they wanted to get the OX instead. This was before the switch over to the evisa system.

You can ONLY get an OA and OX visa at the Thai embassy from your home country. You cannot get these in Thailand.

The requirement for a 90 day Non-O visa is 800,000 baht. You can get it in your home country with money in your home bank, or in Thailand with money in a Thai bank.

You can get the OX at Chaengwattana. I don't know if all immigration offices sell it, but CW definitely

from my understanding you can extend it at CW, but not get a brand new type OX.

You can get the 90 days Non Imm O in the UK with £10k(450,000bt) in a UK bank account and that IS the O based on being 50 and over.

actually you can get the OX inside Thailand depending on your nationality but you do need the 3 million baht in a Thai account

3 mio thb on the day of application? Can a Non O retirement be "upgraded" to OX? 🙏

@Chris ****

it can't be upgraded, but whether you can change to it or not I'm unsure, you'd have to ask your immigration office. The documentation is silent on that unlike the one to change to a non-o

I believe so. That visa type is only available to a certain few nationalities.

No. They are separate visas. The Non-O only qualifies for the 1-year extension of stay based on 800,000 in the bank.
