Good evening

I am in the process of applying for a non o visa based on retirement.

Just a little stuck on the last section of section 4- ‘supporting documents’.

Item 3 asks for a document indicating current location’.

Not sure what they really want here but I’m guessing a copy of driving licence with my address on and a utility bill ?

Any advice appreciated 

Many thanks

The user is applying for a NON O visa based on retirement and is unsure about the supporting document required to indicate their current location. They wonder whether a driving license and a utility bill would suffice. Community members suggest that any document showing residence in the applying country should work, with many stating that they used their driving licenses or utility bills. There is also a query regarding the eligibility to apply from a different country.

Can you apply for this from another country or does it have to be your own country?

you can apply for a Non-O visa based on marriage or retirement in a nearby country's thai consulate via the online eVisa website.. You go to that country, you apply online, you upload proof you're in that country (visa/entry stamp) you pay, and they process the application, emailing you when the visa is approved a PDF you print out and present with your passport when you stamp in

You have to be IN the country whose thai consulate you are applying thru and you have to sit tight IN that country until the visa is approved or rejected
