Does your 800k have to be seasoned 60 days prior to applying for an O visa inside Thailand. I know it has to stay in the account afterward

Edited to reflect the O/P meant an O visa not an OA :)

I’m a newbie and will be applying for non O retirement visa when in Thailand next month after initial tourist visa from uk. A couple of quick questions please

1 , I don’t need to have funds in bank for non O retirementVisa but must have seasoned my funds 2 months before applying for extension to non O retirement visa ? Or whats the difference’s for people applying for the initial non O retirement extension and people applying for following years extensions?

2, A lot of post mentioned STV or tourist visa’s , is their any difference in the two when applying for non O retirement visa in Thailand

I think I’m overthinking the hole process, will it be a case of going to a visa shop and taking their advise or is it necessary to know the ins and outs of the process ?

I'm married to a Thai. I also have 2 half Thai children (3 and 1 years old). At the moment I'm on extension based on employment. As far as I understand I can meet the conditions for visa based on my family (except I haven't seasoned funds in my bank account). Are the conditions for seasoning funds in my bank account for extension based on raising-children/Thai-wife the same? 400k for 2 months before application + 1 month under consideration. Or are there any differences?

EDIT: My current extension based on employment is expiring on 30th April.

Sorry so late in the evening.

If changing from retirement visa to marriage visa is it two months or three months that the 400k needs to be seasoned ?

I intend entering Thailand on visa exempt and then get extension for another 30 days making 60 days in all. Near the expiry date I will apply for Non Immigrant visa type O. As I will need to have 2 months seasoned funds do I need to fund the bank in the 60 day visa exempt period ie have the funds in the bank before I apply for the 90 day O visa or can the funds be put in the account at the same time the O visa is granted thus having plenty of time to season the money. I am asking for this advice as I see there is often a problem opening a Thai bank account and I want to be sure I get the timing right for the 2 months seasoning

Hi team, ive finally made it back & almost finished quarantine in BKK.

I’m hoping to be in thailand 6 months per year, possibly more so am planning to apply for a non-o 12 month visa with marriage to Thai.

Ive arrived on a TR60 visa and plan on extending for 30 days.

I have legalised my marriage certificate back in UK

I’m just about to transfer 400k to my Thai bank account ageing it for 2 months..

I will report to CM Immigration on Wednesday with mrs to get the mt30 sorted.. I understand there is an app now that can be setup whilst there?

Do I apply when the money has aged at 2months, or shall I start it soon if it takes a while?

Also- does the bank account have to be over 400k all year or just the two months upto renewal?

Thanks in advance
