Applied for the non-immigration O 90 day retirement visa on December 4th. Granted today, 23rd December. London.

Go into Thailand on 25th January so my next challenge is to get the retirement extension for a year.

Hi. If you have an ED visa for 1 year, can you apply for a 1-month extension at immigration before your ED visa expires?

Hi Everyone does anyone now how mene three months visa you can have in one year and if you can have more if you are married and the prices of each visa. Thanks Dave

Hello, could someone please confirm whether it is not possible to get a 30-day extension of a visa exemption for the third time in the same year?

Thank you.

Edit: problem solved with one agency and 5000 thb..

Advice please

1st entry: May 29, 2025=60 stamps + 30 days extension

2nd entry: August 26, 2025=60 stamps + 30 days extension

3rd entry: November 25, 2025= denied entry

Send back to my origin country but I didn’t do it. Instead I enter Singapore.

Is there a chance to visit Thailand again? If yes when?

TIA

Dear group members,

According to your knowledge, would such a plan for a six-month stay on a multiple-entry tourist visa be acceptable to Thai Immigration? Here’s the idea: 60 days in Thailand + 30 day extension - 5 days in Singapore - another 60 days in Thailand + 30 day extension. Would love to hear if anyone has experience with this! Thank You 😀

If you got 2 metv per year costing £300,wouldn’t it be better than jumping thru hoops trying to get a retirement visa probably work out cheaper & you wouldn’t have to leave 800,000 baht in your account

What’s the advantage & disadvantage over this

Non-B after 2 exempts advice:

Did 2 border runs this year(January + April) total 180days on visa exempt + extension

June 2025 did ED VISA and went to school to study thai language, visa finish december 2025 (this month)

I applied and got a job and my employer told me to go laos to get the Non-b work visa. (Legit work and everything)

Will i have problems entering thailand on NON-B with my history?

Sorry if this question been already asked i couldnt find anything.

Just been applying for an Extension of Stay (based on Retirement) and hit an issue that I think could impact a lot of people.

I use the 65k per month route, and I use Wise for the transfers from UK to Thailand, and I have never had any issues previously. However, the IO told me that I had failed to make the required transfers, and so refused my application. I always transfer well above the 65k (I usually transfer between 150k and 230k per month). On closer examination, it turned out that all of the transfers prior to and including August were fine. But from Aug 31st onwards, all of my transfers were showing as domestic transfers. After consulting with my bank (SCB) and Wise, it turns out that from Sept 1st they had changed partners and had started using Kasinkorn, who receive the transfers and then remit them onto the required bank, and they do this using 'Channel Code' ENET (Domestic Transfer) whereas the previous partner had remitted them with Channel Code RIS (International). So, for anyone using Wise, I suggest you review your transfers quickly and if you find they are being marked as ENET then you have a problem.

I have flagged the issue to Wise, who initially did not want to know, and just kept directing me to take it up with Kasinkorn, I had to remind them that I have no relationship with Kasinkorn, much less an account, so I would be nothing to them. I reminded Wise that they have the relationship with Kasinkorn, who they have chosen as their partner, and they need to take it up with them as this could affect thousands (maybe tens of thousands) of Wise customers in Thailand. They are now 'looking into it', so I am assuming that the more of you that also contact Wise re this, the more likely they are to fix it.

I assume if you are a Kasinkorn customer using Wise, then it might be OK as I assume they will show such transfers as Inetrnational not Domestic, but be interested in any of you check this and let us know on here.

Meantime, I am looking at a workaround using Wise 'Transfer Receipts' and once I have tried this workaround with Immigration I will update here. One thing I have found though is that the Wise Transfer Receipts seem to change content and format frequently, which is a bit of a concern.

Anyway, thought it best to let you guys out there know about this !

Merry Bloody Xmas ...

Goodafternoon.

I am in Thailand, visiting my girlfriend, on visa exempt (Oktober 1 - December 26). November 19 I did not receive a 30 day extention (due to my 3 entries in 2024 (1 tourist visa and 2 visa exempt). The IO said: "as far as I'm concerned you are not a tourist anymore). He suggested a border run.

I did a border run to Vietnam (November 21 - 24) and obtained a new visa exempt (until January 22). And got 60 days (amazing Thailand).

Do I understand well: the visa exempt history is cleared per January 1 2026? And does that mean I can get a new visa exempt? Or maybe better to get a payed visa?

I would like to stay until March 21.
