Hi guys, I just got my non-o 3 month visa application approved this morning in Laos. It took less than 4 business days. And they accepted a letter certifying my retirement income from my pension fund, as the canadian embassy does no longer produces income certificates. I also had documents showing I had more than 800 000 thb in a bank account in Canada but I didn't need to show it. So it was easier than expected. Thanks to all of you who gave me sound advices.

Can I "renew" a marriage visa into a retirement Visa or do I need to start over with the retirement Visa process?

Hello

I have 2 quick questions. Can I get a retirement visa and then switch it over to a marriage visa? Second question: If I got a retirement visa in January, would I be able to leave in February and come back in April or May without issue? I appreciate your opinions.

God bless

I understand you need to maintain about 800,000 baht in an account to renew/keep the retirement Non O visa (or at least have it in there for 6 months before renewal) but I’ve heard you can withdraw funds momentarily and go below the 800,000 is this true? And I send money into my account regularly from Canada but is it possible to send it the other way? I mean back to Canada, with a banking app

Hi all. Getting conflicting information about how long the ฿800K needs to be in the bank before renewing retirement extension. Some say 3 months, some say 2. Will be apply for renewal in Phetchaburi province. Thanks. Would go and ask but I’m in another province for a bit. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

hi everyone, does anyone know how straightforward it will be to move from Elite/Privilege visa to a non-o retirement once the Elite expires? could it be done without leaving? thank you

Hello all?! I am on a Non-O retirement Visa.

I returned from a foreign trip on December 2nd with the re-entry permit.

My landlord filed the TM-30 for me on December 3rd.

My lease expired in October and I found a better apartment that I'd like to move into on February 1st. That new landlord will also file another TM 30

My question is when do I do my 90-day report? It's a bit confusing. Thank you.

USA arrived Bangkok on 90 day non-imm O visa December 4. Over 50 and intend to retire here. Decided to go to open bank account today. Went to Bang kaput mall, 3 different banks. Kbank, krungsri and Bangkok bank. All 3 had different rules and requirements. None allowed me to open account. I supplied passport, 90 day Non-O visa hard , copy, invoice of Condo I’m renting, TM30 and prepared to transfer 800,000 baht. No good. Lease contract needed. Bangkok bank wanted a lease contract of at least 6 months. Ongoing theme was they wanted the visa in the passport stamped as retirement visa. My visa was stamped and in writing on the visa stamp was “Evisa” and “non-O” with the date set for March 3, 2026.

Any suggestions on where or what else I need to do to open an account? I will not be using an illegal agency.

Thanks!
