What are the requirements and details for the Non-Immigrant O-X visa in Thailand?

I bet even the people who decided which countries were on that list couldn’t tell you why.

Thanks Tod. To be honest, I never dug too deep into that one. I stopped at the requirement of needing to sit in front of some panel telling them what I had to offer 😂

Everybody, no matter what visa does 90 day reports if your here 90 days.

Forget your report and it's a 2000 baht fine. That's it. Wether not doing a report would be enough for them to withdraw the visa, I've no idea.

I guess the yearly check up on the anniversary date of the visa includes checking you've not sent of the money outside of Thailand and that you continue to have a Thai company health insurance.

I would assume that even on a 10 year investment visa they would want to see yearly that you've either not cashed the bond in or sold the qualifying property?

@Tod ********

in the teakdoor thread the guy who got the visa said he has to do 90 day reports, plus a personal visit once a year. So I guess they’ll check his financials yearly, and also check he’s been doing his 90 day reports? I’m not sure what would happen if he ‘forgot’.

It doesn't say even what the financial requirement is each year they want too see at year 2 too 5.

If I was going to do it I would put 3 million in a time deposit and simply not touch it. If you can do that, I guess it's not a bad visa to have.

I think you need to have the application spot on if your going to do it as it looks like the $400 application fee isn't refundable.

If my uncle was a woman, he would be my aunt. It's about as relevant.

You can't, they are very strong on it having to be in a Thai bank. You could get around 1.5% on it.

>A copy of bank statement (from Thailand financial institutes only) and a letter of guarantee from the bank with bank’s contact information showing a deposit of the amount equal to and not less than 3 Million Bahts, Please note that such minimum amount must be maintained at least 1 year after receiving the visa or A copy of bank statement (from financial institutes located in Thailand only) and a letter of guarantee from the bank with bank’s contact information showing a deposit of the amount equal to and not less than 1.8 Million Bahts and proof of annual incomes of not less than 1.2 Million Bahts (Once the applicants enter Thailand, they must have accumulated money deposited in Thai bank located in Thailand not less than 3 million Baht within 1 year.)

It wouldn't be bad if the interest rates weren't so low.

Ok, thanks Tod (sorry for the misspelling above) ...

Todd, Can one apply for this from within Thailand?

so because the 4 year visa is smart - its 5 years ?!
