Uppdate, Royal Thai embassy Stockholm.

Non-o retirement.

Now you have to show either 240.000 SEK (Swedish krona) or 800.000 THB, in a bank statement, OR an income statement from your pension payer, NOT work, for last 3 months.

Hope this will help someone applying.

Income from work is still ok for non-o family visa.

Got this from the Embassy yesterday.
Answer summary
The Royal Thai Embassy in Stockholm now requires applicants for the Non-O retirement visa to show either 240,000 SEK (Swedish Krona) or 800,000 THB in a bank statement, or an income statement from their pension provider for the last 3 months. Work income remains acceptable for Non-O family visas. There are concerns about the verification of income affidavits by the Swedish embassy in Bangkok and the validity period of these documents for visa extensions in Thailand.

Well, this is good for the application to the 90-days Non-Imm-VISA. . . . However, what is the situation like, inside Thailand, when you apply for the 1-year Extension? Does the Swedish embassy in Bangkok still issue verified income or pension affidavits? Thai Immigration will only accept either a Thai bank deposit or an income affidavit

Roland Connedal And it is normally valid for six months. But can you confirm that several Swedes have obtained a marriage-based Non O and then been allowed to apply for their first extension in Thailand based on retirement, without waiting until the second year?

Yes, at most immigration it is valid for 6 months after it is issued. But not at all. So you have to ask your immigration what applies there. Incidentally, I cannot confirm that it works as you say regarding that extension.

I think this has been well known for some time. Stockholm is one of the few embassies that accepts pension income alone for a retirement-based Non-O visa.
