How can a 70-year-old UK citizen apply for an initial 90-day Non-O visa in Thailand without being married?

the only thing I brought was the bank statements and my yellow book.

Radu-Petruț Dincă you can hold your money in a Thai bank in your own currency.

I think it's called a GDP account.

That's what I've done for the past 7 years and immigration accepts this because when I do my yearly extension the bank converts the £ sterling into thai baht for immigration purposes.

Radu-Petruț Dincă 9listen bud , Ive just changed from a retirement Ive done for over 15 years to a marriage this month in Jomtien and I can assure you its twice as hard .

However, there are so many ways to stay here Wanin. Many many people hear have good ideas but also wrong opinions about visa. Truly the best is... just the side of the Embassy/immigration and you can find all.

Once your in Thailand you can if you wish convert your retirement non O to a marriage visa but you'll have to book a visit to the british embassy in bangkok,Than get a affirmation of marital status and copy of your British passport signed and certified with stamp and stickers once you have them get them translated into Thai..When you get them back from ministry of foreign affairs goto your local district office and get married..Once you have done all that go back to immigration and start applying to change from retirement to marriage...🙂🙂🙂Retirement way is much easier but you'll need more money in bank or a monthly income,Yes marriage one needs a lot more paperwork doing but it's not that hard if you just sit down and go through it all one bit at a time..Just done my first one and had no problems at all..🙂

that's the one. He doesn't need to be married, it's based purely on age
