Hi.
UK expat arrived Jan 21st on visa exempt.
Planning on applying for over 50 visa.
I have the funds in my Thai bank account ( well seasoned 6 months plus) and a long term condo lease.
What is the process?
Apologies if this gets asked a million times, every case seems to be slightly different.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The process for applying for an over 50 (Non-O) visa in Thailand involves visiting your local immigration office to obtain the requirements for application. You need to ensure you have at least 15 days remaining on your current visa stamp. Key items include proof of funds in your Thai bank account, which should be documented with a bank letter and a recent bank book update. The funds must show a transfer from abroad to be considered valid. Post-approval of the initial 90-day Non-O visa, you will have to prepare for a one-year extension, which requires that funds in your account have been seasoned for at least two months. It's also advisable to obtain documentation for both the initial application and the extension during your visit to immigration.
