NON-O Visa Visa Exempt Thailand Immigration Bank Statement Requirements Visa Application Process Expats in Thailand

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello, I’m planning on traveling to Thailand in early January. Will get Visa Exempt and extend 30 days. 

I want to apply for non-o visa three weeks before departure. I had one that expired earlier this year because of the pandemic. I paid an agent at jomtien immigration 17,000 baht and had no problem getting it.

Will I have a problem proving where the funds in my bank account came from? Will they ask me again? I’ve had over 800 k for five years. At worst i think I can pay an agent to get my retirement non-o visa again. When I used the agent I didn’t have to prove where money came from.  It came from my country (USA), I don’t think I have paperwork to prove it now though.

If you have the money in bank and a bank balance copy x 2

A passport bio page copy x 2

A copy of your last stamp in passport x 2. A copy of your tm 6 x 2.

2 x passpirt photos.

Proof of house or residence your tm 30 address with some photos.

Then you can walk into immigration and do it for 2000 baht yourself

ok, thanks. I’m sure I can do it as long as they don’t need proof of funds origin. I already had a non-o visa, which meant the funds were approved but they might ignore that.

applying for the non O the origin of the funds isn't questioned, it's getting an extension on the Non O where the origin is in play.
