ORIGINAL POSTERDear brains trust,
I have recently entered Thailand on an Non Imm multi-entry O-X visa. Bank account and drivers license all done, working on the yellow book currently. I would like to confirm the following:
1. When I travel out of the country for short business trips, I will not need a re-entry permit as my visa is a multi-entry visa....correct?
2. The usual 90 days in-county reporting applies?
3. I am required to report to immigration for a 1 year visa review (funds in account etc).
4. Bank balance required after the first year report to immigration?
Thank you for your time.
Kind regards, John

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking clarification on their obligations as a holder of a Non Imm multi-entry O-X visa in Thailand. They specifically ask about the need for a re-entry permit during short business trips, the 90-day in-country reporting rule, the requirement for an annual visa review, and the bank balance needed for after the first-year report to immigration.

I went in after 1 year to do annual report on OX visa. But phuket immigration told me not necessary because I leave the country so if I leave the country not necessary to report
Maitin *******
Not correct. Always have to do a TDAC regardless of visa status or length of time out of the kingdom
Lynnette *******
@Maitin ******
TDAC has nothing to do with visas.Myles *******
@Maitin ******
whats TDAC got to do with anything he asked?Maitin *******
@Myles ******
read item one. The entry permit is the TDACSally ********
He was referring to the re-entry permit not the arrival card TDAC
Myles *******
@Maitin ******
lol no its not. Maybe you need to learn to read before commenting. A re-entry permit is not a TDAC. TDAC has nothing to do with visa and re-entry permitsMaitin *******
@Myles ******

I'm fairly certain you don't have to check-in at one year.
@Wayne ********
I think you were someone who used to have an OX right? I might be remembering wrong thoughWayne *********
@Brandon ***********
Correct i have OX. It's Multiple entry so no re-entry permit required and I have not had to check in after 1st or 2nd year. I have Always had my insurance policy with me incase they ask, which they never have. 5 year is when you go for the 2nd 5 years and they will check financial etc to make sure you conform to the requirements.John ****************
ORIGINAL POSTER@Wayne ********
Thank you. All the best, JohnBrandon ************
@Wayne ********
Are you actually planning on going for the 2nd 5 year? I read a report from someone who went to immigration with everything that should be required, including the 3 million in a Thai bank account, and they were flat out refused by immigration and told it's not possible.I believe Tod Daniels said most people abandon the 2nd 5 years and go and get a new non-OX visa.

ORIGINAL POSTER@Brandon ***********
I checked the 2nd 5 year renewal with the immigration officer, no problems if you have maintained your required bank balance and Thailand based medical insurance. I realise alot can change in 5 years with regard to visa rules so I will remain optimistic but vigilant 😁Brandon ************
@John ***************
Which immigration officer? The one at your local office that you would be doing the extension with?John ****************
ORIGINAL POSTER@Brandon ***********
Yes, that's correct. I use the Buriram Immigration office. Regards, JohnWayne *********
@John ***************
hopefully that same officer is there in 5 years. So much can and does change in ThailandWayne *********
@Brandon ***********
I will probably go the marriage visa or just the Non O as I will be retired fully when my first 5 years is up.Brandon ************
@Wayne ********
highly recommend LTR if you qualify.Wayne *********
@Brandon ***********
yes i do qualify and agree probably worth serious consideration thank youReply to
