Anyone else come across the issue of having to report into the Immigration dept every 90 days still? I'd had assumed that this requirement wasn't needed as we have a visa for 180 days and if we need to extend to 360 max, we have to see the immigration to renew anyhow. And if youre renting a condo, TM30 form is needed.

Anyone else found the same?

Thanks - Tony

For Aussies, coming next money. Q- If I get an O retirement Visa in Aus before I come. I don't need health insurance, 30 day extensions, do visa runs or anything like that, yes/ no. If so, anyone remember how much they paid for the visa please.

I read somewhere that your 65,000 Baht monthly income has to come from a ‘Govt Pension’ source?…Is it okay if it comes from a SIPP (a private pension pot)?…

I have a non o marriage visa...but had to come back to the US for surgery. Anyone know if there is a ceiling on the time allowed outside thailand without violating my visa?

Thanks all

i was looking at the requirements for a retirement visa are these options still the norm or has it reverted to the balance option only. thanks all.

**Financial Requirements:

Option 1:** Have a deposit of at least 800,000 THB in a Thai bank account for at least two months before applying.

Option 2: Show a monthly income (including pension) of at least 65,000 THB.

Option 3: A combination of bank deposit and annual income totaling 800,000 THB.

So how long do you have to have 65000baht going into a thai bank account for immigration

We're intending to apply for the DTV and then rent a house in Chiang Mai for a few years (kids will attend a private coop group). I understand we need to border hop every six months but I want to know is it necessary to go to different airports so it doesn't look like we're trying to be permanent residents?

We won't stay longer than five years but when I think about it we're not necessarily 'tourists'. Thanks

Would anyone know what the ramifications would be if your bank account was to fall below 400,000 on a retirement visa, thanks

At Bangkok immigration today, a good friend of ours from Switzerland tried to renew his retirement extension. Unfortunately he was turned down because he submitted a different bank account he had used from his previous 2024 extension. He has 2 accounts, both of them has over THB 800,000 all the time so he didn't remember which one to use. In fact he didn't know he had to use the same account every year from then on. IO said if he couldn't come back with that same account, for example if he had closed it and used the other one, he had no other choice but to leave the country! ( Or use an agent) 😔😤

I need solid advice about my current scenario. I arrived in Thailand for the first time in November, got the 60-day stamp then went to immigration and got a 30-day extension. I did a border run to get another 60 days. Then another border run for another 60 days. By the time I finally decided to get a non O retirement visa (90 days + 12 month extension of stay) I realized I didn’t have enough time so am doing one last border run in a few days. Yes I should have done things differently but I failed. I am leaving Thailand in July and returning in October. Do I need to get the non O visa before I leave so I won’t be rejected upon trying to re-enter? Or can I leave then begin the visa process immediately upon coming back in October?
