Hi
I am Canadian,63 years old,will go to Thailand on 60 days tourist visa.When in Thailand will convert tourist visa into non O retirement visa.I will use affidavit of income from Canadian consulate in Bangkok to prove my finances.
When do I need to show this affidavit?
1) when applying for my first non O visa
2) my first extension of non O visa (90 days after receiving non O visa))
3) when applying AND than when extending my first non O visa.
If it is #3, timing of getting affidavit will be very important since affidavit from Canadian consulate is valid for only 90 days.
( I contacted them) Thank you
TLDR : Answer Summary
A Canadian expat planning to convert a 60-day tourist visa to a Non-O retirement visa in Thailand is seeking clarity on when to present an affidavit of income from the Canadian consulate. The consensus is that the affidavit should be shown both when applying for the initial Non-O visa and again when applying for the subsequent yearly extension, as it is valid for 6 months. This means the timing of obtaining the affidavit is crucial to ensure it remains valid for both parts of the process.
