What are the best visa options for extending my stay in Thailand and how can I access my funds for visa requirements?

It's easier to help you if you come up with correct information about yourself.That's crucial when it comes to visas.

@Nikki ******

try the official Thai visa website

Many people would have assumed you had already investigated the official site

@Nikki ******

because its not in one place. If you were clearer on what you want to achieve people could give you clearer advice. If all you want to do is obtain a 30 day extension on a tourist stamp then you go to immigration and request one. If your in bangkok which immigration office you go to depends on the way you entered, if you got a tourist visa before arrival you go to immigration at Chaengwattana, if you didn't you go to Laksi

Look at your DM’s💞

@Nikki ******

Nice.

@Ian *******

Is 650k correct? Last time I saw the price online it was 900k.Correct me if I'm wrong and they've adjusted the price.

@Nikki ******

Well, e.g. There are different non imm I O visas for which you have to be 50 years-up to get this. So you entered Thailand on a so called 'visa exempt entry' of 60 days (Possible for US citizens/passport holders) not possible for every country ! I would look for DTV Visa or LTR Visa in y'r home country or neighbour countries (e.g. Laos, Vietnam. Cambodia is a bit difficult now) No experience because I am here on retirement extensions. Well, it needs some reading and maybe later ask some questions when you know a bit more cinc. this stuff. Good luck 🙏

@Peter ***************

they asking your age because you have to be 50 to retire! I’m 40 and they won’t let me even tho I make the money! So I do runs for my Visa

@Nikki ******

it seems you rather believe in barstool experts, than the few real experts of this group. If you had checked a couple of other threads, you might have found the happy thirty people who praise my knowledge and my expertise

@Nikki ******

I think they are trying to say that you currently don’t have a visa, if you entered under “visa exemption” status. You can still extend your stay by 30 days, but just telling you that you are using wrong terminology when you say you want to extend your visa (however, maybe you do have a visa, which you would have had to apply for via an embassy).

@Nongnuch *******

? She does not tell which visa she has, if any. If she has a real tourist visa (bought from a Thai Embassy/Consulate or came in on 60 days visa exempt, she CAN get a 30 day extension. But...too little info for this so hard to say.

Anna Brodley actually you are not accurate..again...you gave advice about getting a bank account and it was not accurate. on paper yes,but in working practice it was bad information. You say you been here many years but remain up to date.,but you dont and your advice ,if followed isn't spot on. The OP mentioned Laos and what address and you say is all in line. Yes it's all on line but in Savannakhet and Vientiane, you apply on line BUT..you Have to go physically to The thai consulate to make the payment against an issued QR code before the visa application will be processed. In Vientiane there's are actually two locations the thai government have so obviously have to go to the right one.

Again here You say the bank account opening should not be an issue when it is at the moment. Let your visa expire...start the process again as a new a nd inexperienced person and see how easy it is to get the bank account and let us all know.

You really should be more careful with your advice as people may believe you.
