90 day, single entry, Non-O visa (retirement/marriage)

For a good number of years we've been advising people to come here free stamp (visa exempt), open a bank account, transfer in the required funds and then apply for a 90 day Non-O visa in country at your immigration office.

Sadly, with the changes to the way banks allow accounts to be opened now, it is almost impossible to open a bank account on a free stamp (visa exempt) entry 😕

We are now going to suggest people who want to do year retirement or marriage extensions once they're here to get the initial 90 day Non-O visa in your country BEFORE you come here via the thai eVisa online web-portal

There are several advantages to this.

1 - you can show proof of funds in a bank in your country to get the initial visa issued from a thai consulate.

2 - it makes it WAY easier to open a bank account if you come in on a Non-O 90 day visa.

These are the requirements for the 90 day Non-O visa based on being over 50 (retirement) and the requirements for the 90 day Non-O visa based on marriage to a thai national

AND

These are the choices you would select on the eVisa online system
