My wife and I have each been granted Non O immigrant visa's for 90 days based on retirement criteria.
Bank statements showing funds in UK banks were presented.
We arrive in the Kingdom on 17/10 and intend to live on Koh Samui.
What do we need to do on arrival, and how quickly, in order to ensure that we can get these extended to a year?
TLDR : Answer Summary
Upon arriving in Koh Samui, Thailand with your Non-O immigrant visas, you need to quickly open bank accounts to deposit 800,000 Baht for at least two months for your visa extensions. It's recommended to check with the local immigration office for specific requirements regarding your visas and inquire about the possibility of your wife obtaining a trailing spouse extension. Be aware that if her visa was issued based on her being over 50, she might need to secure her own funds for her extension.
