Hi all. When applying for non o based on retirement in my home country, is the requestfor three months bank statement to show that the 800k equivalent is seasoned or can it be transfered into the account within the three months of supplied statements?

Hey guys! I have a question. I hope it doesn't come across as confusing to you as it is in my head: I placed my dad in VivoCare, a dementia care facility, here in Thailand at the beginning of February. He's an 82 yo Army vet with a full pension and disability. Once at VivoCare, they helped him open up a bank account with Bangkok bank with 800,000 baht that I provided. That month, I started sending 70,000 baht into the bank account via Wise from his US bank account every month, and will continue as long as he's there.

They keep telling me that after his visa (not LTV) gets approved tomorrow at immigration, I must continue to deposit 70,000 baht into his BBK account every month (which I knew), but that I can withdraw the 800,000 baht or spend it on his monthly rent at the facility. That makes me nervous: Can I draw the 800,000 down entirely? Or does at least 400,000 baht need to stay in that account? What about the thing where 800,000 (400,000?) needs to stay in the account 3 months after approval? Or is that a different visa route?

I'm trying to figure out what Visa he's getting. But more importantly, I don't want to draw the money too far down below the 400,000 baht or draw it too soon if it'll mess him up.

Please explain it to me because I keep asking them and they keep saying I can, but his immigration money isn't something I want to play with.

Hi

Myself and my wife both over 50 retired and both uk citizens looking who intend to apply for a Thai non -o visa , should we apply jointly or individually ?

If we applied together can we have a joint bank account like we do in the uk?

As I understand it if we apply individually we would both need to deposit 800 k in an account which we could do but looking for advice as to what’s easiest route to go .

Thanks in advance

How can I get a Performer’s / actors “O” type visa?

Long story short.

I am a successful touring DJ , singer, and music producer (played major festivals with Snoop Dogg, SEVENTEEN, etc) actress (commercials only) , and content creator.

I am not SAG-AFRA. But I’ve booked major TV commercials.

I know in Japan for example, there’s companies like GxPlus , Halo Live, etc who sponsor foreign entertainers and YouTubers for the explicit purpose of promoting Japan soft power and allowing them to work with Japanese brands etc.

I’m guessing there are similar companies here, as I have seen foreigners in ads, commercials, and obviously DJing etc.

I have a large Asian and western following with many media articles about me to prove this for immigration sake (I know many countries ask for media coverage)

Anyways does this sound plausible?

I don’t care about the actual earning potential in baht because I still earn passively from my US / Canadian work.

Hi all; assuming I get married, I have heard that the marriage visa needs THB400k in a bank for 2 months before the visa can be issued. Is this true? Or can I apply immediately after getting married and the money is in the bank. TIA

So I think I have my POA

As a US (50) citizen:

-Have ฿800,000 min in Thai account

-apply for 60 day tourist visa

-come to Thailand

-apply to convert to Non-O (retire)

-apply for extension of stay (1 yr)

Feels like I have left something out. I am just trying to get my entire plan drawn up and keep my T’s crossed and I’s dotted.

Believe me I have researched a lot. But I would rather run this by some of the few experts on here who painstakingly grade people’s plans

TIA

Hello all.

Hope you can clear something up for me.

Renewed my 1 year Non-O based on retirement using the 800k on deposit method earlier this month and have started sending the monthly 65k minimum overseas transfers, to make 12 in total by next Feb.

Can I now take out the 800k, as I have another use for it, or is there still a minimum (400k) balance which must remain at all times?

Thank you.

Robert.

Brain fog.

Immigration doesn’t or does hold the original passport during the two? Weeks while processing annual renewal.

TIA

Goodmorning, I just would like to know if any Thai embassy/consulate in souteast asia still issue the non o 1 year multiple visa based on marriage to a Thai , without proof of 400 k in the bank? TIA

Is savanahket in Laos the only place to get 1yr multi entry family visa without proof of finances ? I am sure I read on this site there was another embassy in a neighbouring country that also did this but cannot find it on the search function.
