If I do the Non O retirement visa,, does the 800000 baht have to be transfered from my Aussie account,,, or can I just transfer it from my Thai wifes account, (which we use for our funds here,, which were transfered from OZ) into the Thai account I will get when I do the visa

Do I need 2 months bank statements showing minimum £19000 (800000bht) for my Non O visa application?

I have a flight booked for the 1st June and savings maturity date of mid March.

Hi, a further question about seasoning of funds for a retirement visa: What happens if you leave Thailand before the three month period after the extension has elapsed? Immigration would be unable to verify that you kept 800k in your account for the required 3 months. Does your extension get cancelled?

Does anyone know for sure if the 800k sitting in the bank have to be an international transfer.

Do I need to report my new address within 24h to immigration when I move to another city in Thailand?

I m on a retirement visa currently.

Thank you for your advice

Looking to move my family of 8 and possibly mother in law to Bangkok in Summer 2026. Give me some advice please.

We currently homeschool Ages 18(interested in Culinary), 14,10,8,4,1. What would be the best option for such a big family?

We don’t have the baht requirement for us all to be on DTV., only myself would cover the Baht requirements with dependents/ current living expenses $3600 monthly

My children are US Passport holders and their mom. I’m a Jamaican Passport holder . Would the requirement make a big difference ?

Also, has anyone done a retirement visa. My mother is 80 on a fixed income. Any advice on that. (Found answer to this)

I’m on a retirement visa with the 800,000 in one bank…I have another bank that doesn’t have as much in it.

If my extension comes up for renewal end of June.

How long before the end of June do I have to top up the other bank to 800,000 so I can use that bank for my next renewal.

In other words I want to switch the banks I use for the visa extension renewal going foreward.

Later on I’ll close the first bank.

That’s the idea anyway…..appreciate your insights…Ta.

I know it has been covered many times re: 12 months of 65,000 bank deposit for the FIRST non-o one year extension not being able to be used. BUT after several phone calls to the Phuket IO both in Thai and English, they say we can.

I guess only a trip there will give the real answer. We also have the 800,000 ready just in case. WE ALL KNOW WHY!!

Well today was my first day possible to go back to immigration to process my 12 Month Extension of Stay based on my Non-O Retirement Visa. I had everything the Immigration Officer wanted and received my extension without having to get anything additional. Also processed my reentry permit while here since I already have trips lined up.

I know people on here get “snotty” when expats say 12 month visa instead of 12 month extension of stay, but the Immigration Officer told me I now had a 12 Month Visa🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

I would like to apply for non-o retirement visa while I will be in Vientiane Laos...

Before it was stating that passport should have 6 months validity when you will get in thailand and I now Isee some other place stating that I need 1 year validity...

Is there any body knows if 6 months validity could be ok to qualify for the non-o visa over 50 year old?
