Ask Thailand · Answer

The discussion centers around the Non-OA visa requirements for retirees in Thailand, particularly focusing on the financial qualifications of 800,000 THB or a monthly pension of 65,000 THB. Various comments clarify that while you can enter Thailand on a Non-OA visa using monthly income as proof of finances from your home country, the rules regarding visa extensions are distinct. Some participants mention that it may be possible to switch to the Non-O visa after the initial Non-OA period, but this typically requires leaving Thailand and re-entering under a different visa category. Overall, the feasibility of meeting these financial criteria varies and can depend on individual circumstances and local immigration practices.

Thai immigration will bend over backward to renew any renewal based on income.  Tactics include absolute refusal to even process a renewal and advice applicant to leave the country.

When you come over on a non O-A you don’t need any money in Thailand, you prove you have the money requirement in you home bank.

Just before your visa expires you can leave the country and get stamped back in for a year’s extension. At that point you can start the 65k+ a month or choose to do the 800k.

Not sure I quite follow your question but I think you're asking if you can come to Thailand on a Non-OA visa and after a year switch to a Non-O visa based on having made 12 months of overseas transfers. No if you come on a Non-OA you stay on a Non-OA, you'd have to be out of Thailand while your Non-OA expired and come back on a Non-O, it would then be up to your immigration office whether they would allow you to use monthly transfers for the next extension

Understand that the protocols for a Non -O Retirement Visa issued by a Thai Embassy and those for an extension of that Visa are two completely different things.

You can enter Thailand on a retirement visa and apply to the Thai Customs Department while you are in your home country.
