Sorry if this has been answered before I’ve been coming in on a METV for about 4 years, however on my next trip in Jan 27 I intend to apply for the 90 day non 0 with a view to the one year extension. I already have a Thai bank account and intend depositing the 800k around Oct 26 so that it seasons by the time I arrive.

I just need to confirm what my renewal day would be if I applied as soon as I arrive in January. Does the the one year extension start at the end of the 90 day visa therefore my renewal date would be March or does it start from the date of application making my renewal January.

My 90 day o retirement visa expires on 28 Th February 2026, what’s my best/safest option on getting another 60 day visa exempt ?

I know I'm being lazy by not searching for the answers but bureaucracy seems to change by the minute here, so as you guys have the knowledge & experience here's my question

I'm here in Chiang Mai on a 90 day Non O retirement visa, been here since 1st December, I have the requisite 800K sitting in the bank for way over 6 months. I'll be looking for the multi entry extension. Can this be done online or do I need to go to a government office

When can I apply for the one year extension here in CM, is it 45 or 60 days after entry, can you confirm the documents I require are:

1- bank statement showing the money has been deposited for the desired period of time

2- Residence certificate

3- Passport with the required stamps

4- TM30

5- 3800 Bht payment fee (for multi entry)

6- TM7 application form

Have I missed something?

I was reading a post about non O retirement similar to my question but can't find it now.

If I travel to Thailand on non- O 0ver 50 in February open a bank account a and transfer 800k baht. Can I leave and apply for exit visa. Return on my same Non-O in mid June for 6 weeks and in that period when the 800k is seasoned apply for one year extension.

Second question if extension approved can I get a multi entry extension.

Submitting a printed TDAC for an application to an extension?

Yesterday, I read a report that initially puzzled me.

You all know and are aware of the requirement to fill out and submit the TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card), which has been in effect since May 1, 2025. It can be completed starting 72 hours before your planned arrival in Thailand.

As soon as you receive the TDAC QR code via email, you should definitely print it out and take it with you. Why is that?

You won't be explicitly asked for it at the immigration counter anymore, because the immigration officer can see it on their computer screen after scanning your passport. And you can theoretically show it on your phone.

BUT:

According to a recent report, Immigration will require a copy of the TDAC signed by you in blue ink, when applying for the next one-year extension of stay. And most likely soon, the same when applying for the 30-day tourist extension.

To date (August 16, 2025), there has only been one report on this. However, I am expecting more of those to appear.

It's somewhat understandable, because previously, you had to present your TM6 departure card when applying for the one-year extension of stay, and the same applied when one applied for the 30-day touristic extension.

When the TM6 was abolished almost three years ago for air travel and later also for land travel, I had to react.

I had long since removed the fact that you no longer had to present the TM6 departure card from my consultation templates – and now it will probably be added back to the list of requirements of the various immigration offices as proof of a completed TDAC.

By informing people about this, I can at least prevent you from having to leave the immigration office empty-handed if they ask for a printout of your TDAC and you unfortunately don't have it with you on this day

Be prepared and always expect the unexpected

If you are on a non O 1 year extension and have a re entry permit and am out of Thailand when the extension runs out what is the procedure when returning to Thailand. Is the expired extension reactivated ?

Hi All I sat in my house in Nam Kham on a 90day visa I have a bank account and a wife here

What do I need documentation etc to get a one year extention

(it's rained everyday since I got here but I still want to stay)

I have done yesterday my first 1 year extension on my non O-A eVisa in Phuket.

They ask for a picture from me in front of my location and a print-out of Google-Map with GPS data. The renting-contract was not needed.

The officer told me, that I need to show each year a copie of my initial eVisa and said to put a small amount above 800k on my fixed account.

Question: the next 90 day reports starts as from yesterday or from my last 90 day report?

Thanks and happy to have get my year extension and a multy-entry permit. All was done in 2h and pick-up my passeport today afternoon. Great service🙏

I'm currently in Thailand on a 90 day non immigrant O visa. It expires 19th of May.

I'm intending to get a 1 year extension afterwards.

I'm considering making a trip to the US from the 15th to 22th of May. Is this possible while keeping my 1 year extension?

Can anyone tell me for sure if you can apply for one year extension 30 or 45 days before your present visa expire, in Jomtien Soi 5?
