Hi All, targeted at Samui residents please.

Can anyone confirm this checklist from Samui immigration (usually in front of counter 4) is the latest for the extension of stay for O/O-A Retirement visa please ? (I am not on the island at the moment)

Thanks in advance 🙏

Reporting latest experience. Yesterday transferred the monthly 65000 baht from my Australian bank account via Wise (Funds for longstay in Thailand) to my Bangkok Bank account. Transfer initiated at 9:40am, funds arrived in Bangkok Bank account sometime between 12:30 and 12:50pm correctly noted on the account as an international transfer, for immigration purposes. Transferred funds for rent and internet at around 1:30pm. Used QR Promptpay scan four times between 4:00pm and 8:00pm.

At 2:30pm ordered 12-month statement from bank app (for immigration purposes this coming week), which arrived via email at 4:30pm.

I'm on non-O retirement extension, BB customer for eight years.

Absolutely no problems, account not frozen or suspended.

Bangkok Bank and Wise not quite the ogres which some are suggesting!

I have a Bangkok Bank account, since January I've paid in 65K Bht every month. I'm now in the UK and will return to Thailand in December, before returning I'll be applying for a non O retirement visa via the London Thai Embassy so I can hopefully go for the 1 year visa on arrival in Thailand.

My questions are:

1/ Is it true the Bangkok bank requires the 800K to be in the account for 4 months before supplying a confirmation letter for immigration? If so I need to pay in the 800K into the account in August for acceptance in December.

2/ As I've been paying in 65K since January this year when can I use the monthly payment scheme to keep the retirement visa active allowing me to move or spend the 800k.

Hello everyone. I have a question about Thai bank accounts. I know changes happen, but if I get a retirement visa or possibly a marriage visa, can I withdraw those funds from the US if I went back or do I have to remove funds while in Thailand? I’m hoping we stay, but my spouse may want to work enough work Quarters to qualify for Social Security which probably means living here unless she could do remote work with she hasn’t done before. Haven’t looked into those jobs yet

IO has been asking for police clearance certificate to extend Non-imm O (marriage) in Bangkok. I extend stay permit based on married to Thai last 3 years. This is first time experiencing such requirement. Is this same to other provinces? Or new rule?

Allan Batten made a post but it had a misspelling and was adding a spurious link in the post :O

I messaged them about it then deleted the post (and mistakenly gave them a warning :/ ) I didn't mean to warn them I meant to have them repost it without the mistake

I'll do it now

They asked

Sorry, just out of interest, US passport, 50-plus of age:

Suppose during visits to Thailand you managed to open a Thai bank account in y'r name. Then you transfered international 65k฿-plus into that account for at least 12 months. After that you bought a NON IMM O visa, based on Retirement in the US and after arriving in Thailand AND after 60 days you ask for a year extension based on retirement, can you use these 12 international transfers instead of 800k฿ (2 months before already deposited) on the bank ? I'm a bit confused because I read many times that for the first year extension you need that 800k฿ in the bank. Thanks !

Good morning.

To obtain the non-immigrant O retirement visa annual extension using the sum of the bank deposit and pension income, is required a sort of income certificate, but it's not clear to me, I need to find precise and reliable information on which documentation must be shown to demonstrate the requirements (again: the sum of the pension income and financial deposit that reaches a total of 800,000 baht).

In addition to the obvious bank statement, I don't exactly understand what must be shown regarding the pension income and where, a possible document, can be requested.

Thanks for the help, it will be precious as usual. 🙏

Hi folks

Has anyone done the 180 day extension for the DTV yet?

I’m applying via Muay Thai route

I checked with TMT Agents in Phuket and they say I need to provide documentation showing continued enrolment in the Muay Thai when doing the extension.

IS THE AGENT WRONG?
