Is it possible to obtain a 15-month visa in Thailand and what are the conditions?

Don't have nothing to do with agencies in Thailand

If you've got plenty of money in your pockets okay

Not possible

Just use a reputable agent

Ask him!

Scam

You can have a 12 month visa issued upto 3 months in advance ... therefore 15 months

Our team can handle everything for you when arriving on a Tourist visa, or Exempt Entry.

The total cost is ฿50,000, broken down as follows:

- ฿13,000 for bank account opening

- ฿23,000 for a 3-month Non-O visa

- ฿14,000 for the 1-year extension

However, if you apply for the Non-O visa from your home country and arrive in Thailand with it already in hand, you might be able to open a bank account yourself and skip the first row listed costs.

We also offer a expedited service where we do everything in one day for you all through Chaengwattana immigration.

For Bangkok we offer door to door services, and if you are outside of bangkok, and already have a bank account we can service you by secure post.

You can contact us via LINE ( https://tvc.co.th/line ), or EMAIL ( ), or EMAIL ( help@tvc.co.th ).

I had a 1 year visa many years ago, and it was good for 15 months. I don't remember exactly why, but the process just worked out that way.

12+3 months non immigrants

Apply online for a 3-month visa and then get your 12-month retirement visa when you get there 🙂 and if you get your 3-month visa visa before you go, it will save you money :)

Have the restrictions on bank accounts been relaxed? My friend tried to get retirement visa last month but agents in Pattaya couldn’t open bank account to meet the visa requirements. I read on this forum that some agents had announced that they couldn’t open accounts .

It’s a ED on an university, I had it. Was great and the teacher where great.

The first retirement visa is 15 months.

Not true now only 30 days only

The initial visa is 15 months and then renews for 12 months at a time.

All I noe I paid 25k baht and had 12mths plus 3 mtnhs, total 15mths. I did not renew when expires last mth.

Just get DTV

Kinda true

I recently got mine

3 month Non-O and a

12 month retirement visa

37k฿ or 41k฿ if you want multiple entry

Good

I dont understand this fixation and recommendations to use Agents..

The process is quite simple and you can get the correct advice at an immigration office..

In the past when Immigration has cracked-down on agents for various "activities" outside the real rules; then the Visa holder /customer is held liable if you have the wrong visa or it was obtained by "questionable" means.!! Your Visa is your responsibility, please check with immigration direct.

Can only snigger at some of these useless answers ! 😅

Your first retirement visa yes

Yeah, they market them as 15 month because they bring you in on a 60 day, then do the paperwork for the real visa, extend 30, then move to the year long visa.

I’ve never used an Agent, I did the application, bank documentation documents, etc., myself. Most Agents are paying off the Immigration Officer and many of them are Immigration Officers.

Money buys everything.

Non O Multiple Entry. Makes it up to 15 Month.

90 days plus 1 year = 15 months.. I got the same !

Using an agent to get the bank account opened and process the immigration documentation correctly can be helpful first time around.

Beware! It is best to have your own funds ad required for the visa you are requesting. If the agent funds the account it is not legal and you will not meet the qualifications for renewal next year.

Does anyone know of a agent that speaks English that I could contact for my visas that would be best for me planning to visit in May and come back to Thailand in September to stay thank you in advance

Maybe go and ask a different agent 2 or 3

Usually costs baht -- saves a lot of hassle

sounds like an ED visa with a university.

When you first land you'll get a 30-day visa, then the agent can get you a 60-day extension and then after that you get a 12-month extension. That can all be done on the same day with the help of the agent so your first retirement Visa has a total of 15 months. Yes you can do it yourself but many people choose to go with an agent because there are so many different versions of paperwork that you will need and all the different areas Within immigration office have to be visited. You are paying for their expertise and their experience just like you would if you paid a lawyer or an accountant. You are paying for their experience

I think 3 month visa O + 1 year extension (all included)

No, it's not possible. Because it's not a 15 month visa. It's a 3 month visa and then a 12-month extension.

The conditions are that you give the agent a lot of money and they get you the visa and extension. And if you don't have your own money in a Thai bank account for this visa, then you'll have to pay an agent again next year because you won't meet the requirements this year and they'll check on that next year.
