What specific forms do I need to apply for a Non-O retirement visa in Thailand?

did you read what you need for the "change of visa type" from a tourist visa to a 90-days Non-Imm-O retirement visa? Go use an agent service, mate. Easy peasy. Don't stress yerself with the qeues at the Jomtien Immigratrion. Why would you bother? You need a minimum of 800,000.- THB deposit on your Thai bank account, though, to be able to apply for the "change". You can't use the "income method". And Jomtien is special in requirements - they pull out of their nose a rule that for the application to the change you need the monmey seasoned. Which is NOT part of the police order, that says you only need to prove it is sitting in the account. The 2-monmth seasoning proof is only needed when you change the 90-days visa to the 1-year extension of stay . . /9.FOR-RETIREMENT-PURPOSES-50-YEARS-OLD-NON-O.pdf

Immigration will change it if you meet the Non Imm o requirements, thai marriage, children and cash etc.

Agents are your friend if you wish to avoid the fiasco there.

gave you the correct answer. You apply for a Non O on TM.86 if you’re on a tourist visa and TM.87 if you’re on visa exemption. (TM.7 is just for extension of stay). You can download both here;

Copy service there could fill all forms out for you for less than 50 B

Why do I see these simple questions asked over and over. Go on line to the thai immigration site and educate yourself. Than, if your confused and thats pretty normal, ask some questions to verify. But to me, simply posting "what do I do" without first making some effort to see what is needed is lazy and assumes that someone else is here to hold your hand and be your mommy.

Google Thai Immigration

Sorry it is tm7.

I think it is tm7 you needing that application. You can find it on line in pdf or word format so if you have a laptop you could complete it and print it out. It clearly states what the form is for. Make sure you have other docs up to date tm47 and tm30. You will also need bank statements and copies of passbook, passport and a photograph. Anything in addition like a map to your residence its best to ask at your local IO. Get them to write down in thai what you need from the bank as it will make certain you get the right things.

TM88 is for a visa on arrival. What did you come in on?

Where you getting you knees done ?

1. all forms:



2. online appointment:

I’m in Samui and Immigration here hand you a cheat sheet of everything you need to provide. But that’s Samui and maybe other immigration offices don’t provide the same thing. You can only ask or maybe go on their website

This is the requirements for the Phuket office. I’d assume Jomtien would be similar but it’s just an indication as I don’t have their requirements.
