I’m on a OA and am going to let it run out and go for a non O in  UK in the summer.....

I will then apply for the retirement extension in  its final month.....

I plan to transfer 800,000 over just before I arrive  in Thailand so that will be some two  months before I can apply for the extension.....

(I believe I can apply  in the final 30 days of the non O which is fine by me......I am correct  please with the above assumption....cheers

Answer summary

The user plans to let their OA visa expire and obtain a Non-O visa in the UK during the summer. They intend to transfer 800,000 THB to Thailand approximately two months before applying for a retirement extension. They seek confirmation on the assumption that they can apply for the extension during the last 30 days of their Non-O visa.

I got a Non-O based on marriage with Thai in Munich last October.

Re: transfer 800,000 two months before applying for the extension of the 90-day Non O

Can admins confirm that 2 months is still the initial aging/seasoning requirement for Non O based on retirement? Asking because this is a common concern and confusion - and I believe I saw a post recently with different info - and I may need to do the same later this year. I know about the subsequent year-long and renewal bank balance requirements, and assume no changes for that.

you can get a Non-O visa from many thai consulates (each has its own requirements to issue it)..

That totally IS the way to do it correctly (y)

Once you get back on the Non-O visa and have your 90 day entry stamp BEFORE you need to apply for the extension GO to the immigration office in your area, get the hand out that lists the requirements for the yearly extension so that you can get them compiled and together for the extension :)
