Greetings all,

Following on from a previous post which was very helpful with gettingna bank account set up, i am now about to embark on step 2!.

Can someone please give me an idiot proof guide for applying for my first non O visa, with details of bank proofs?.

A little background if it helps

52 years old

From uk

Hold uk passport with several years until expires

Currently here on a TR60 with 30+days until it expires

Hold Bangkok bank account with 800k baht plus

I have rented condo and have proof of TM 30 (already had certificate of residence for opening bank account so i think thats ok.

Will be applying at Chonburi, Jomtien.

Many thanks in advance

Where did the bt800k come from? Did you transfer it into your Thai bank account from an overseas source?

Hi , I just got my non O also UK passport.

Copy of bank book showing balance ( within 24 hrs of application for visa)

Statement from bank confirming the balance.

Copy of passport

Copy of TR visa stamp

Copy of TM 6

Copy of TM 30

Copy of landlord blue book

Copy of landlord ID

Copy of rental agreement

1x photo

Copy in colour 1 house

2 view of house showing the land and any other buildings around it.

3 you inside the house.

4 location on map.

1x visa application form.

All these copied twice so you have two sets .

All copies need you to add your signature.

I hear some immigration offices are asking for the photos in either landscape or portrait . For me I gave portrait and nothing was said.

I started my application in Surat thani immigration but was sent to koh phangan immigration where I am living. So the paperwork is the same at both offices .

Nearly forgot the easiest bit 2000 baht.

Hope that helps 🙏

was this for a regular extension based on retirement? We did that in Chiang Mai and didn't need any photos, landlord ID or blue book. They accepted the TM30, rental agreement copy, prove of income affidavit from our consulate (yay Canada) and gave us back the hand drawn map. I guess maybe it was that badly drawn 🙂.

I think they will as where you live seems to be very important to them . After giving all the information , they were supposed to come and visit me at home , but as far as I know they never did.

This is the stuff you’d need in Phuket. No idea if Chonburi would be different, but it’ll give you an idea. Perhaps visit and ask for a handout of what they’d need specifically.
