Hi All

I’m a Uk national 43 yrs old have been married to my Thai wife (dual national) for 20 years now and have one son (dual national) we have lived in the uk since 2005 ish.

She has a home in Phuket town that we can reside in and have been to Thailand more times than can count now and for long durations as can work remotely.

Toying with the idea of us leaving the UK and relocating in Phuket full time.

As they are both Thai nationals they are fine but what would be best visa for me? Best visa to start with and for the long duration etc.

We have both married officially in the UK and married in Phuket via the Muslim ceremony etc.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Just received my Non OA Visa. Flying end of the month to Thailand. Do I stil need to block the equivalent if 800 K THB here. Do I need to have them on a bank account in Thailand when i apply the first time within the 90 days after arrival st the immigrstion on Samui ? Would appreciate your sdvices very much.

I have two questions to ask for advice.

Firstly, instead of making the THB800,000 deposit, can I have a combination of a smaller deposit and money coming into my account every month, or do I need both?

Secondly, is the money currently being deposited into your account on a monthly basis being taxed 10% yet as I have read previously,?

I have asked both of these questions to immigration agents and received no reply.

FYI. The monthly amount is in the form of a retirement fund and has already been taxed twice by my Government, I'm not wanting to get it taxed a third time.

Boys and girls, is skipping the 90 days reporting still ok or...?

I'm a US citizen and have visited Thailand many times over the years, always with the visa-exempt 30/60 day stamp. But times have changed and I want a long-term visa and I'm considering all options, including the DTV Muay Thai option. My question concerns age: I'm 60+ and worried that if I apply for the DTV Muay Thai, it will be denied based on my age. Anyone else had this issue?

Hello to everyone? Does Thailand has now a 5 years visa to apply ?

Thanks.

If you don’t want to help you don’t have too .. but please don’t make stupid comments it shows how much ignorant and stupidity someone can have ..

Hello everybody!

I want to enter Thailand on a visa, get married at Ampur, register the marrige in Thailand and then change my visa to (Spouse visa) NON-O.

What visa should I use when I arrive in Thailand, that makes this possible?

The financial requirement for the O-X Long Stay (retirement, 10-year) Visa is 3 million baht opened with a Thai bank in Thailand.

I cannot help wondering........

How may a foreigner open an account with a Thai bank in Thailand before receiving the O-X Long Stay Visa ?? 🤔

( other than Australian citizens, how may a foreigner open an account with a Thai bank in Thailand before receiving the O-X Long Stay Visa ?? 🤔 )

Thank you ! 🫡🙏

Starting to feel a bit defeated. We (60+) are coming from Canada in September but struggling to find a visa that we can make work for us. My husband and I are able to scrape together 800,000 baht for one Non OA visa, the rest of our money is in retirement portfolios (RRSPs).

I was thinking I could come on a Non O trailing spouse 90 day and extend to match his once we arrive. Has ANYONE done this??

Hello, I have a question about the $800k Baht requirement for non O retirement visa. I have half the amount and about $108,000 TB($3200.00 USD)/month retirement income and around $10k USD in savings. The visa agent said he could help meet the $800k level but would hold my passport until my funds cover the full amount. Is this usual practice with visa agents ? I could more than likely fund this fully myself in about 5 months. He adked me how long I would need to fund full amount. This is all new to me so i dont need any sarcastic comments. Just some real practical knowledge from anyone that has experience with this.
