What is the process for obtaining a Non-O retirement visa and the one-year extension in Thailand after the initial 90 days?

Any agent would tell exactly what to do, that's y you hire them, I got a complete breakdown of cost, and exactly what they are going to do, cost $$$, but hey if ya got 800,000 baht, just sayin 😉

You get the 90 day non immigration visa in your own country not in thailand

Consider a Non-OA for the first year. It takes a (cheap) health insurance and some more documents, but you get 1 year at first shot and you dont need 800,000 THB at account but can do with a monthly income of 65,000 THB.

Our team does not offer the Non-O visa as a standalone service. The full process must be handled together, including the Non-O visa, bank account opening if you do not already have one, and the yearly extension.

We have a new promotional offer for first-time retirement visa applicants who are already in Thailand on a tourist visa or visa-exempt entry.

Pricing depends on how quickly you would like the process completed:

■ ฿45,000 if you can wait approximately 2 to 3 weeks

■ ฿50,000 if you need it completed within a few days

■ ฿55,000 for same-day completion, approximately 6 to 7 hours

The package includes:

■ 3-month Non-O visa

■ 12-month retirement extension

■ Bank account opening assistance

We have also extended our special ฿14,000 annual retirement renewal price. This includes our door-to-door service at no additional cost.

The process for a retirement visa is on the Immigration Department website. A lot of the information given by the Immigration agencies is not part of the official process. For me this raises alarms. From experiences any deviations from the official procedure can have consequences. I am in the process of getting information for obtaining a retirement visa from the internet and from friends who are long term residents. I will be using the official procedure, for me trying to do it quicker or cheaper has too much risk.

Given up it’s one big rip off we going Bali so easy and nicer

See it as 90 days non o get you to open up the bank account and deposit in the money.. the next 1 year so called extension basically is reapplying it again with all the same documents needed

Just talk to an agent the advice will be better than here

An agency can certainly do the Non O Visa for you while in the country no problem.

The issue is its going to cost you $$$ and from what I have read once you go this route you are then on the visa agent hamster wheel.

It all depends how deep your pockets are????

I talked to a Visa agent in Chiang Mai last year just to get an idea of costs just for interest sake really.

The lady there wrote down two figures so one was for the Non O Visa in my home country and the other figure was if I did the Non O Visa in Thailand through them.

To get a legal 12 month extension in Thailand , as you are from the UK, you need to deposit 800,000 baht into your Thai account for 2 months prior to the extension application.

To open a bank account in Thailand you need to be on a long term visa, like the Non-O.

Save yourself a lot of problems and money by getting the 90 day non-O before travelling to Thailand.

So agency does the whole package ...bank acct +90days+ 1yr extensions and the fees depending u are using your own 800k or thiers

Much easier and cheaper to just get the Non-O yourself before travelling to Thailand. Get here, open a bank account and transfer in a minimum of 800k baht and apply for the 12 month extension of stay. It's not a difficult process

It depends where you are

If you are already in Thailand

They can do the whole lot

90 days Non-O

+

12 months extension

The stamps are legit

The processes may be questionable

Why would you use an agency in Thailand to get Non-O that you should get in home country before arriving?
