They asked for proof of income at Hanoi..

People said it would be rejected but I wrote a cover letter showing explaining it was new business & showcased my expertise with a Portfolio of work.

Accepted on Sunday evening 🫡🤝

Interviews

If you’re called for an interview, what are the questions they’d ask? esp if you’re applying as a freelancer

i was looking at the requirements for a retirement visa are these options still the norm or has it reverted to the balance option only. thanks all.

**Financial Requirements:

Option 1:** Have a deposit of at least 800,000 THB in a Thai bank account for at least two months before applying.

Option 2: Show a monthly income (including pension) of at least 65,000 THB.

Option 3: A combination of bank deposit and annual income totaling 800,000 THB.

Would anyone know what the ramifications would be if your bank account was to fall below 400,000 on a retirement visa, thanks

Hello Just get the approvement for the Thai Elite Visa...IS IT still easy to Open Bank account with this...

And can i get an Thai Driving license with this ..of course i have driving license in my Home country

EU Europe

With this new bank approach to close accounts unless you have long term visa, own property or are married, does the DTV visa suffice to keep the bank account or is this still deemed a touristic visa

Is your monthly about 90,000 baht?

Then, in your opinion...

Is using an agent to get non.O and open a bank account relatively expensive to you?

[US retired guy asking. ThanX in advance for your time]

AND Thank you for your responses.

Thought about it. I'll be 70 in November. I think I'll keep my house for a place to visit until I get tired of long flights, maybe in 6 or 8 years. Then I'll sell it. That's the only way I could get an elite visa. I want to live in Thailand, probably til death.

Meanwhile...

I'll see if the town's "guv'ner" can help, along with my fiancé, represent with me at the local bank. Soon enough it seems from reading the constructive comments here and other same-group posts... I'll be able to use the monthly income method for the 800k/yr.

My landlord is very uncooperative. If she doesn't file a TM30 upon my re-entry to Thailand, will this be an issue when doing the 90 day report?

Due to a variety of factors I ended up doing a third border run. I used an agency each time and got no bad words or looks from any IO. I fully understand many will say that I’ve “cheated the system“. But for those of you who can overlook this and have reliable knowledge I will ask you this very important question:

If I leave Thailand in July and then apply online for a non O 90 day visa when I am in the USA (for two or three months) will my three border runs possibly cause my application to be denied?

Hey I've already done some research online, but I just wanted to get some quick feedback. I've always done my visa extensions in Bkk and this will be my first time in Pattaya. I'm going to Chonburi immigration in the morning and I will need my passport, tm7(which I get there), passport photo, copies of passport pages, 1900 thb, and proof of res. With the proof of residence do they just want a picture of my Airbnb receipt as it goes for a few more weeks? Don't know if they are as easy as Bkk with that. Thanks for any info
