I signed up for True money. Working well for 7-11 and grab payments. Trying to unlock the advanced features such as scan to pay . When I uploaded my non O visa they said it was expired. I am on a retirement extension. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi all I'm on an initial 3 months non O visa and going to apply for a 12 month extension for retirement. Does anyone know what the processing time is in Chiang Mai immigration? And also i waa told I can apply a maximum of 45 days before the 3 month non O expires. Is this correct? Someone else just told me it was a maximum of 30 days before expiry. Many thanks 🙏🏼

Hi Guy's, I hit 60 and retiring from work in August, and moving from OZ to Thailand with my wife. From what I understand, we will need to have a separate bank account with 800,000 baht in each account as well as a monthly income. My question is, does the $800.000 baht have to remain untouched and if so, for how long? Does anyone have a copy of tge rules around this? Thanks.

How late can you do your 90 days report and how early can you do your retirement extension ? Reason for asking: 90 days report is due 22/7 and my retirement extension is due 25/8. Possible to do both with just one visit to immigration ?

Non o retirement extension. Via Thai bank funds. Q. Does the required 3 months of 800k baht start from the date of my April application or the 1 June 2025 date stamped in the passport ?

hello, I have a question about the process to get a retirement extension. I have been living here since 2016 on retirement extensions, but have been helping a new guy, who now has had two agencies tell him he needs an education visa which three months down the road can then be turned into a retirement extension. problem is they both want a total of +- 60K baht.

it is still possible to get a 90 day tourist visa (from outside the country, online), then request an extension? are the visa agencies just not offering this because they can charge more for the education visa route? or has this avenue been closed?

also, my friend also was turned down by two banks yesterday for an account, are there still banks who will open an account for a new person with a residency certificate?

so, the questions:

1. can you still go the 90 day tourist visa route to get a retirement extension?

2. will banks still open accounts, and you just need to find the one that will?

thanks for your input!

Can someobdy spell out ALL MANDATORY DOCUMENTS required at Immigration to receive my first ever NON O Retirement “1 year extension of Visa”. I’m concerned becuz current “money seasoning” will push my first available day to visit IMMIGRATION, to within 10-12 days of the expiration date of the current 90 Day NON O I used to enter the country? I couldn’t control the time it took getting a Thai bank account setup and wiring 800,000 from my foreign account. Again —- one the day of my appointment, what Documents does immigration require to grant the first 1 YEAR RETIREMENT EXTENSION OF STAY?

After careful consideration, I have decided to go down the route of getting a DTV, purely because it's 5 years and I can return to work (working remotely in Thailand, for a non-Thai company).

Currently, I am on the retirement extension issued in Chiang Mai. I emailed the Thai Embassy Vientiane with some questions, one of which was to ask if I should cancel this before applying with them for the DTV, they said no need to. - Should I trust this feedback or cancel the extension before going to Laos?
