I just went on the Thai embassy website. It gives you the option of filling out a Non O retirement visa. I have heard you can still open a Thai bank account in Thailand, then do the retirement visa in Thailand. Is this a good option instead of the OA retirement visa? I live in the United States

Hi all been seeing pics on Internet about big ques at immigration .. if you enter thiland on a pre arranged visa is there a special lane to get in or is there a fast track lane you can use even if you have to pay tia 😊

Just looking for a piece of advice . I made a slight cock up of my departure from BKK next March. I have a Non O visa (marriage) and with an extension I will be 1 day over on departure.

In all the decades I have visited here I have never overstayed.

I will be going for my extension next month. Is it possible that Immigration could allow me that extra day?

Preparing documents for a Non-OA visa from California and the most frustrated part is the FBI/State criminal record clearance letter. Went to get fingerprinted and the letter received was just a print out and now we have to figure out how to get a certified letter from the state (CA) or FBI. Any advice?

I recently applied in uk for a non 0 visa and got. A confirmation e mail straight away.

About a week later i got another e mail asking for 2 further documents which were sent as requested, but have not had another e mail confirming they have got them.

Question is do they send another e mail confirming receipt .

TIA

Hello all.

I have an appt in January at Khon Kaen Immigration to extend my current Non-O 90 day retirement visa to a year. The email I received from them seems simple enough. It lists only 3 items, Application form, copy of passport, Evidence of income and/or account deposited in a Thai bank.

Does this seem correct for Khon Kaen? Looking at the nightmares from other immigration places, this is a breeze.

Is the application form the TM47?, it doesn't say.

I will of course bring the TM30 I used for the certificate of residence I used last month for banking and drivers license. Anything else I should bring? KK is an hour and a half away, so going back and forth is a real pain. I did get a passport photo the other day, but it doesn't look like I will need it.

Thanks for the replies.

I have a retirement visa (with six months left on it) but when in Australia last week my passport was stolen and I had to get a replacement passport, so I no longer have the visa stamp. Can I simply renew my existing visa or do I have to restart the entire costly process all over again? (I have photos of the visa in lost passport etc). I have had to re-enter on a tourist visa.
