I need to renew my non-o-retirement visa,any suggestions of who is the cheapest and still use my Bangkok bank account
Answer summary
This conversation highlights various suggestions for renewing a Non-O retirement visa in Thailand, particularly focusing on cost-effective methods. Several comments recommend doing the renewal process yourself, which can be straightforward and much cheaper (costing around 3000 baht) if one has the required 800k baht in the bank. Others mention specific agencies like MM THAI VISA POINT in Pattaya for a fee around 16000 baht and suggest that assistance from someone fluent in Thai can ease the process. Basic requirements for the application are also shared, emphasizing necessary documents like bank statements and forms.

Why do you think you need an agent to get an extension to your Non O?

You don’t.

Just check with your local Immigration Office to confirm their requirements and follow their instructions.

The cheapest is doing it yourself. Cost you less than 3000 baht for everything. But if it's your first time doing it on your own, buckle in. You're gonna get frustrated 🤣🤣. If you have a Thai girlfriend or friend, or friend who speaks Thai. Bring them with you to translate. Saves hoirs.

Doing it yourself is the best and cheapest way. It's one a4 form with about 15 questions. Takes me about 30 minutes in Hua Hin.

great advice but did u ever think he doesn't have the funds in the bank to qualify?

What is he going to do if he has a medical emergency if he doesn't have 800k? If he has insurance he can get the non o-a visa instead. I think that's the reason the 800k rule was introduced.

He's asking about a NON-O retirement visa extension. Not a 30 day tourist visa extension.

MM do the 800k deposit for you, you need a phone app so they can switch money on the day.

bypassing the rules seems like a huge mistake these days with the clamp down on banking and visas, but it's up to him I guess.
