Hi all, my belgium friend went for a non o retirement visa to immi in chiang mai last friday. On monday night he received 900k in his new thai bank account. On friday morning he went to bkk bank and got his bankbook updated and a letter from the manager as usual. After that he went to immi with all neccesary documents. They refused his application since the money needs to be 'matured' for at least 2 days! Never heard about that. He wanted to do as quick as possible since he has a trip planned in april to go to belgium for 10 days. Now i guess he needs to get new bank letter as well since the otger one from friday was refused? I have never seen that rule! Goid to know fir everybody.....
TLDR : Answer Summary
A Belgian expat faced issues applying for a Non-O retirement visa in Chiang Mai because his newly deposited funds in a Thai bank account were not 'matured' for at least two days, as mandated by immigration authorities. After receiving a substantial deposit, he attempted to apply for the visa quickly but was informed that the funds must remain in the account for a specific duration to meet the visa's financial requirements.
