Hopefully a simple question, for a Non O retirement renewal if I used the 65k per month option can it it be in more than one transfer per month? I have sources of income that exceed the 65k in total but not individually and the individual components may vary from month to month, if ever there was a short month I could make a transfer from savings to meet any shortfall, thanks

I applied for non o retirement in Sydney unfortunately it was not approved until 24hrs after i arrived in Koh Samui so my question is will bank accept all details I havr and allow opening an account or will I have to head to Singapore for the day to activate the visa before bank will accept? I dont plan on staying long term until February 🤔

I arrived in Thailand on the 29th of November with my Non O visa planning to retire. TM30 sorted at local immigration then on to Kasikorn bank to open an account. Even though I had all the correct documents and my Thai girlfriend with me to translate I was refused. They said I needed a yellow house book. We went to the local government office to ask and were told it would take 6 months. Impossible as I only have 90 days to get this sorted. On to another branch, no success again. OK let's try Krungtai , 45 minutes queueing before being told no again.

What do I have to do to open an account here?

I tried the above banks because they have good reputations and I am avoiding Bangkok bank.

Should I keep trying different branches of the big 2 or are there other options? I'm in Bueng kan province on the border with Laos. I would appreciate any input.

Hello all, I will be applying for a non immigrant O-A visa soon. But there is an issue apart from the visa procedures that I am not so sure about. I would be very greatful if you could enlighten me please.

After I get the visa, do I need to have an onward ticket out of Thailand in order to board the plane to Kingdom and is an onward ticket out of Thailand is also required for entry into Kingdom by immigration. Thank you all for your attention.

I’m currently working toward the annual renewable Non-Immigrant O (Retirement Extension). I’m already in Thailand, have opened a bank account in my name, deposited the 800,000 THB to begin the seasoning period, and am now dealing with the usual red tape regarding proof of residence.

My question is: What exactly is required for medical insurance?

Is insurance required for this visa type, or is it only mandatory for the Non-Immigrant O-A (Long Stay) visa?

I’m getting conflicting information from online sources, so I’d really appreciate clarification from anyone who has gone through the process.

This isn't clear to me so please can someone clarify: when we put 800000 in a bank account in order to get a retirement visa, does it have to stay deposited and never go under 8000000, or can it be withdrawn as we wish, at any time ( but having a smaller balance)?
