Yesterday I got my first 1 year extension at Saraburi Immigration on a Non-Immigrant O Visa based on being over 50 years old ("retirement") and that feels great!

In two earlier posts I mentioned that this office refused my income letter from Swedish Embassy on my first visit about 3 weeks ago, IO told me to open a bank account and start to transfer money from abroad into it.

So I did, transferred 65 000 baht in October and also a few days ago in November, had my updated pass book, a bank account statement and a certificate from my bank Kasikorn with me to present.

Now that income letter from Embassy became valid together with my bank documents, enough to grant my first 1 year extension.

About proof of transactions coming from abroad it was enough with that code (see photo) on my updated pass book, that means "international transaction" at least on a Kasikorn pass book.

Immigration Officer told me from next month to transfer around 67 000 baht, not 65 000, every month the coming year to reach up to the total sum of 800 000 baht.

The dates can be any as long as I transfer 67 000 baht every single calendar month to get my next 1 year extension using same method.

At the same visit I bought a single re-entry permit so I don't forget about it if I wait to buy it on the airport instead.

My costs was a little bit different than normal I believe, 2200 baht for my extension and 1100 baht for the re-entry permit, use to be 1900 both if I'm not wrong.

Sorry for a long one but I felt I wanted to share how everything about my extension ended because I posted about it before.

Obs, this was on Saraburi Immigration Office .

Hi everyone,

I’m an Australian citizen currently working remotely in an IT role. I’m planning to apply for the new Digital Nomad (DTV) visa for Thailand — either directly myself or through an agent.

My goal is to continue my existing remote job while living in Thailand for an extended period. I’ve read through some of the official requirements but would appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through the process recently.

Is it generally a straightforward application if you’re already employed remotely by an overseas company?

Any tips on what documentation or approach worked best — especially regarding proof of income, tax obligations, and how to structure the application (DIY vs. through a visa agent)?

Thanks in advance for any guidance or first-hand insights!

Good morning, I have a question about proof of recurring income.

Does the proof need to be in the form of bank statements or will an end of year statement be acceptable?

The end of year statement lists income for the next coming year.

Two quick questions,

Marriage certificate , is Australian acceptable ??

Income proof , is signed and stamped by bank statements acceptable

O-A application question

I am at the point where I need to upload 3 months of Bank statements and the bank letter for proof of income. The application has one upload box for all 4 docs.

Am I wrong in thinking that these need to be combined into one pdf? It looks like only one file can be uploaded to that field.

My bank statements are 11 pages long for each month. Do they want the entire statements of just the first page with my name address and ending balances?

Need some advice, I am married last year in Canada to Thai wife. Looking at proof of income and not keen on depositing money at this time to Thai bank.

Any thoughts on away to show money to satisfy Thai gov.

Regards Larry

When using the monthly income for "extension of stay" if submitting a credit advice for proof of income coming from abroad do you still need a 1 year bank statement?? We've lived here 12 years & every year has subtle changes 😉 logic says no but.....

A freelancer wanting to apply for DTV

I am not employed by a company and do not have a registered buisness, can I still apply for the dtv as a freelancer?

Hi, the Thai embassy is asking for HMRC tax returns, is this normal? What could be the reason for this? I am tax exempt as I spend less than 90 days in the UK every year.
